Minneapolis, MN-July 17, 2013…Viridian’s unprecedented Reactor™ 5 is the industry’s most advanced green laser sight, in the world’s smallest frame, specifically designed for personal defenders like the Ruger LCP.
Packing the exclusive Viridian Green™ 532 nm laser, the breakthrough Reactor 5 is up to 50 times brighter than conventional red – visible day or night, indoors or out, in all conditions, at distances no standard laser can touch.
With its pistol-matched design, it amps the look, feel and function of the Ruger LCP with virtually no bulk, weight, or gun-snagging overhang.
“This is what everyone wants, but nobody could deliver”, says Viridian President Brian Hedeen, “butt-kicking targeting for your last-ditch defense. Only Viridian could do it. We have been eyeing this platform and working hard on it for a long time. This is a huge breakthrough for people serious about their personal safety.”
In addition to game-changing size and capability, the new Reactor 5 features a 2-color state of charge indicator and Viridian’s exclusive Enhanced Combat Readiness™ (ECR™) to ignite the laser at the instant of draw, without fumbling with buttons, sliders or unfamiliar grips. Every Reactor 5 comes with a Viridian® ECR™ equipped pocket holster.
To arm ECR™, simply turn on the laser before holstering. The laser will automatically turn off when in the holster. Upon draw, the laser instantly activates, giving you the edge. Under life and death pressure, that fail-safe response can make all the difference.
“By the time you read this,” says Brian Hedeen, “the Reactor 5 will be available throughout our network of dealers and distributors. It’s Viridian’s latest way to optimize personal defense.”
The Reactor 5 for the Ruger LCP is the first of many Reactor models. Look for models to fit the Ruger LC9/LC380 and Smith & Wesson M&P Shield later this year.
