Recoil. It’s an expected part of shooting firearms, so much so that many shooters begin anticipating it early on. And while it’s true that felt recoil depends on many factors from caliber to model of gun to the rounds being fired, it’s also true that handling said recoil depends entirely on the individual shooter. No two shooters are alike, and no two shooters have identical experiences even while using identical firearms. What may be simple for you to shoot proficiently may be a struggle for someone else – even someone with a certain level of basic experience – and vice versa. Crimson Trace is looking to improve the odds a shooter can handle felt recoil with their new product, the ShockStop System.

The ShockStop System is a specific material that will first be offered on particular Crimson Trace Lasergrips: the LG-350 and LG-350G. It’s made of a soft material the company describes as being “anti-vibration” but “non-tacky” and includes a carefully designed heel pocket for additional felt recoil reduction. The ShockStop has soft panels on both the front and rear of the grip while the middle is rigid for increased stability.

The LG-350 and LG-350G are made for Smith & Wesson’s J-frame revolvers. The former contains a red laser while the latter contains a green laser. Installation requires only a screwdriver and can easily be managed at home with no need for a gunsmith. MSRP for the LG-350 is $319 and the LG-350G is $399.

There are many benefits to improving a shooter’s control over felt recoil. Accuracy is certainly an issue as is the ability to deliver follow-up shots in a tight group.
