Crimson Trace started in 1994 and evolved into an industry leader of laser sighting systems, thanks to co-founder and engineer, Lew Danielson. After more than two decades of innovation and hard work, Danielson has announced his retirement from the company. “I am very proud of what Crimson Trace has become and what we have accomplished in the laser sighting industry with the many innovations we’ve introduced to the market place,” said Danielson. He was the 2015 National Rifle Association’s Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award recipient. crimsontrace.com
