LaserMax have announced the launch of their GS-Max9-G laser for Ruger’s Max-9 compact pistols. The new laser as a green emitter and incorporates LaserMax’s GripSense technology which is able to detect when the user has a firm grip on the pistol, when it detects this it activates the laser without the shooter having to consciously think about turning it on or breaking their grip to articulate controls. GripSense can be deactivated if you prefer manual control and the laser is adjustable for windage and elevation.

Here’s LaserMax’s announcement in full:

“LaserMax, a leading innovator in laser sighting systems for firearms, unveils the GS-Max9-G, a new laser sight specifically designed for the Ruger Max-9 pistol. The GS-Max9-G features LaserMax’s patented GripSense™ Technology, offering users an intuitive and natural way to activate the laser for faster target acquisition and improved shot placement.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Ruger Max-9 pistol frame, the GS-Max9-G has a sensor like those found on smartphones. Embedded in the trigger guard, the sensor instantly activates the laser every time the user establishes a firm grip on the pistol, automatically projecting a bright, visible aiming point. If preferred, the GripSense™ system can be disabled with a simple button press to allow the laser to be manually turned on and off whenever the user wants.
“The GS-Max9-G looks and feels like it’s part of the pistol frame,” said Joe Brown Vice President, Marketing and Product Development.” “GripSense™ activation provides an incredibly instinctive way to activate the laser sight, enhancing target acquisition and shot placement in various scenarios.”
