Here is a neat piece of kit from a Viridian. Unlike Crimson Trace who has the patented instant activation, Viridian has to use a push button located on the laser device. No, this is not as intuitive but, by installing a magnet in the holster the Viridian laser can be activated on the draw.
To show how this magnetic activation works, Viridian develoepd a counter mat with a magnet inside it so when you pick the handgun up off the mat at the dealer, the laser comes on. Then, some smart guy suggested that a mat like this would be a perfect addition to a home gun safe so that when a person grabs there handgun from the safe, the laser comes on.
So, Viridian will soon be offering these storage mats for folks with Viridian lasers. You just turn the Viridian laser on your handgun on and place it on the mat and it shuts off. When you pick your handgun up, the laser comes on and is ready to use.
Simple but innovative.
