Reviews & Ratings for Crimson Trace Rail Master Pro Universal Rail Mount LED Laser — 45 reviews — Page 1

I have long been cmr204,less than pleased owner & just replaced it with a TLR8ag from a seller on Ebay,which is now mounted & sighted in.

TLR8AG pros:

-Nearly as compact as Crimson Trace CMR204,

-comparable price to cmr204

-5x brighter light than CMR 204 (specs are 100 lumens for 204 vs. 500 lumens for TLR-8ag)

-much better easer, more secure, (closer to weapon, better adapters, one screw tightening) spring loaded mount)mounting than CMR-204

-brighter laser than cmr-204.Held side by side, on shining at same wall, TLR-8 is brighter& crisper.

-better positioned switches with better design, including activation motion, quality and pressure needed for activation than CMR204

-tighter, identical (uses same size allen wrench)adjustment screws than CMR 204

-unlike my CMR 204 out of the box, I didn't have to take the TLR8ag apart to reengineer the tiny switches to make them work without pressing them very hard. I had to take the CMR-204 add material to the tiny protrusions that touch the switch board of the CMR 204!?! but wait, that's not all: I tr5aded in two others before that with the same problem before I was able to diagnose the issue and fix it on the third CMR-204 I received!

-better, easier way to change between light configurations than the CMR-204.

little TLR-8agCons:

-my TLR8ag didn't come from a Streamlight vendor and did not have a windage & elevation adjustment wrench in the but the CMR 204 comes with fairly nice screwdrivers.

-The TLR8 ag comes with an ...

I’ve purchased this for my G30S about 4-5 years ago. Didn’t survive more than 100 rounds. Changed battery and checked switches but would not turn on. Given that the date I finally took it to the range vs from the delivery date, Optics Planet’s return policy was expired and were no help with getting it fixed. Crimson Trace customer service was a joke. It does make for a ok paperweight. Could be a lemon.

Crimson Trace already has a reputation for producing quality lasers in many configurations. The Rail Master Pro works well on my CZ Scorpion carbine providing a good light and green laser in a small neat package. OpticsPlanet had the best price and delivery was fast. Highly recommend both companies for merchandise and service.

first impression on universal mount..i like it for you could mount it on any pistol with a built -in rail under it.. lights are sufficient enough to illuminate and a plus for the light mode ..the laser is bright enough even on daylight, still visible though. packaging is good, complete with manual. and little bit of tweaking to zero-in....easy to use!

It’s a Crimson Trace. What more can you ask for?! Easy to sight in and does not drift after 1000 rds. The strobe option is perfect to blind your target and the laser is dead on. This is one great product. Highly recommended!

I recently purchased this laser/flashlight combo. I was looking for a combo that was smaller than the other similar products on the market and that could possibly work on a handgun and sub gun too . I found that it works best on my handgun. The sub gun hunt will continue. I like the sleekness of the design. Unlike most handgun flashlights, it doesn't stick way out from the pistol body. In fact, it doesn't even reach out was far as the end of the rail. I put it on a new Sig P229 Legion with a 3.9" barrel, so it's not even a long barrel. The activation controls are easy to use. There is one paddle on each side of the trigger guard, so you can turn on with either hand while not breaking your grip. There are four flashlight/laser settings. Light is bright as well as laser (indoors al least). Comes with two tools for easy sight adjustment. My only complaint, and it could be considered minor, would be that you have to really commit to mounting it to your gun. Once you loosen and position all of the parts and then tighten the screws down with a screw driver it is on good and tight. And that's great if you don't want to be able to take it on and off in a hurry. So, you cannot carry your handgun and flash light/laser separately and assemble as needed in any quick way. Overall, I like it.

I like the item's versatility. Easy to install and fits on most handguns featuring a rail. Easy to operate and sight in. I'm very happy thus far. Clamp materials need improvement. They're made of some sort of polymer and can be broken easily. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN WHEN INSTALLING. These pieces will break!

Excellent bright laser, the tactical light is bright enough to identify your target without getting in the way of the laser if you choose the dual setting. Expensive, but a good purchase. I would recommend this product to other gun owners. I am using this on a Walther PPQ M2 4" 9mm.

Crimson Trace products rock. I have several of their products and I highly recommend them. I had a minor problem with one several years age and they replaced it free of charge. Like the free batteries every year also. I just keep a "form letter" e-mail in a history file and send it every year.

I bought a Safariland 7378 7TS holster because I wanted active retention for my Glock 19 which I conceal carry. I selected a 7378 able to take the M3 light in hopes a Chrimson Trace Rail Master Pro CMR-204 (laser and light) would fit. It was so close, but not quite. So I ordered the Rail Master CMR-206 (laser only) and that fits really nice. Both of these Chrimson Trace units are outstanding and were easy to mount and zero in. To further enhance this review I would also like to discuss the holster a bit more. The Safariland 7378 7TS holster, used with the paddle is a very nicely engineered product. The holster is strong, won't flex and protects the gun nicely. The ALS retention is outstanding. I also bought the 6006 ALS Guard and love it. It turns the holster into a Level II retention holster. The only problem was that the holster rides too low for concealed carry. Immediately below the paddle mount (or belt loop mount) are 3 additional and unused mounting holes. The mounting holes used by Safarilands design have T-Nuts permanently set into the holster. OK, the two T-Nuts that the paddle was set on from Safariland, I used to mount the 6006 ALS Guard. With the paddle, the third hole is used for a plastic lug that snaps below your belt to keep the holster in place. I removed the screw and plastic lug. I then bought some of these T-Nuts at a local Fastenal store. The T-Nuts are #8 by 32 and are 1/4" long. I cut the metal prongs off the T-Nuts I bought and sized their bases to fi...
