Hogue’s new LE Grips are not just a first for Hogue. According to the company, they’re the first handgun laser sighting system on the market based on a fully programmable, digitally-controlled microprocessor circuit.

Hogue’s designers capitalized on the advantage by programming three operating modes (steady, flashing or stealth target) and three user-selectable intensity levels (low, medium and high) into the LE Grip’s circuit. They also tapped into sophisticated power management routines to ensure long life from two common CR-2032 batteries hidden under the grip on the non-laser side – an important design feature enabling battery changes that don’t take the laser out of zero.

Each LE Grip is bore-sighted at the factory while fine windage and elevation adjustments are available via small set screws. All of the Hogue LE Grip’s programming features are accessible via a pressure-sensitive programming buttons on the grip.
