On American Rifleman TV: The Crimson Trace Evolution

Managing Editor Aaron Carter heads to Crimson Trace to show how the Oregon company builds its Lasergrips, as well as showing the new line of green lasers from a company that is best known for painting targets red. Colt was the first make of the U.S. military M1911 pistol. Although replaced by the Beretta M9, the U.S. Marine Corps operators just adopted a version of the Colt Rail Gun for special missions. Called the Colt Marine, we take it to the range this week in our “Rifleman Review.” Ruger’s red label made its debut in 1977 in 20 gauge, and a host of other models have followed. This week we look back at the history of the only over-under made here in the United States by one of America’s largest gunmakers.
