Rochester, NY - LaserMax and Ruger have agreed on an OEM partnership to equip the Ruger® LC9s® with LaserMax’s new GripSense™ Activation Technology. GripSense will allow LC9s users to choose their method of light and laser activation, providing improved target acquisition, safety and efficiency. Ruger’s new LC9s comes factory-installed with a GripSense activated 650 nm red laser and 100 lumen white light combination.

GripSense Activation Technology uses an innovative detection zone to sense the user’s grip on the firearm and instantly activate. This activation method allows users to maintain a natural hand position when firing and frees the user from having to press a button for activation, allowing for increased safety and comfort.

“We have developed a fantastic relationship with Ruger and we are pleased to be continuing our partnership with the addition of our GripSense Activation Technology,” said Jay Duncan, Director of Marketing for LaserMax. “The LC9s is an incredibly popular firearm, and with good reason. GripSense will only enhance the user experience for the LC9s, making it a more capable and effective firearm.”

“We are thrilled to expand our LC9s line with this new offering incorporating innovative technology from LaserMax,” said Shawn Leska, Ruger Vice President of Sales. “We are confident that GripSense will become a popular option for our LC9s customers.”
