Viridian E SERIES Red Laser Sight for Ruger LCP

The Ruger LCP is a true pocket pistol—this model-specific laser keeps the same low-profile mindset. It mounts to the trigger guard, runs with an ambidextrous on/off button, and includes a 5-minute auto shutoff so you’re not wasting battery when it’s riding in a holster or pocket.

If you want a simple aiming reference for close-range defensive practice without turning your carry setup into a science project, this is a clean upgrade.

Fitment notes

This page is for the original Ruger LCP.

If you have a different model, use the model-specific option to avoid ordering the wrong fit:

• Ruger LCP II: use the LCP II version (link to: /e-ruger-lcp2)

• Ruger LCP MAX: use the LCP MAX-specific option (link to your MAX laser page)

The LCP family is easy to mix up, and most lasers are not interchangeable between frames.

Why a trigger-guard mount works well on the LCP

On compact carry pistols, space matters. A trigger-guard mounted unit keeps the setup tight, avoids bulky add-ons, and gives you a consistent point of reference when you’re practicing from realistic carry distances.

Installation and setup

This laser is designed for straightforward mounting. After installation:

• Confirm the unit is secure

• Verify controls function as expected

• Check alignment and adjust windage/elevation to your preferred distance
  If you’re not comfortable with fit and function checks, a qualified gunsmith is the safer route.
