While I can understand why Glock chose to not put a rail on their single-stack firearms, does not mean that I agree with the decision. Frankly, its an oversight given the huge variety of company lights and lasers meant to augment the small handguns. For the pocket-rockets, I personally feel that the laser is the most effective. With the grip often too small for all the fingers and palm to find purchase and the sights being what they are, a laser will help someone get on target faster.
To meet this need, LaserMax has released their next-generation guide-rod laser for the pocket-Glocks, the model 42 and 43 in .380 and 9mm, respectively. The new LMS-G42 and LMS-G43 are claimed to be “the most technologically advanced, ruggedized laser sighting system ever developed”. Tall words that assuredly need some testing. (We tested the G42 a bit ago and liked it…)
The new lasers do not add any weight to the handguns, coming in at only .6 ounces. The laser is listed as “bright red”.
The new laser systems are scheduled for shipping before Christmas, so this may not be the stocking-stuffer for you are looking for, especially considering the price. Coming in over half the cost of the base gun, the lasers are listed at a $269 retail. Yikes. If a laser is must, make sure to budget for it.
Still, coupled with another of LaserMax’s product the CenterFire weapon-light, you can get a full laser light combo on the mouse-guns without too much trouble. Its one of many products recently released for the handgun.

Rochester, NY – LaserMax proudly announces that its newest generation of Guide Rod Laser™ technology will soon be available for top-selling Glock 42 and 43 subcompact handguns. The most technologically-advanced, ruggedized laser sighting system ever developed, the LMS-G42 and LMS-G43 pack LaserMax’s advanced electronics into the smallest internal space ever attempted by a laser manufacturer.
Weighing in at only 0.6 ounces, the Glock 42 and 43 models neither add mass to the firearm nor interfere with holster selection, important advantages for concealed carriers. The laser’s bright red aiming point enables faster and more accurate shots on target, even when firing around obstacles or from unconventional defensive positions. Scheduled to begin shipping before Christmas, the new generation Guide Rod Lasers feature an automatic 10-minute timeout to prevent inadvertent battery drain and a user-programmable pulse/no-pulse selection.
For over a quarter century, LaserMax’s pioneering laser sighting systems have provided a decisive combat advantage to professional operators and armed Americans at home and abroad. LMS-G42 and LMS-G43 will arrive to retailers this winter with an everyday selling price of $269, the lowest cost Guide Rod Laser ever offered to the consumer public. The sight may be coupled with a LaserMax CenterFire WeaponLight to create the perfect subcompact defensive pistol, befitting law enforcement back-up, concealed carry and home protection needs.
