Viridian Weapon Technologies is partnering with North American Arms (NAA) to create laser sights for NAA’s line of ultra-compact revolvers. The first product from this new partnership is the recently-released Grip Laser for the NAA-PUG-D, as well as several other .22 Mag. revolvers that are compatible with the new Viridian Grip lasers.  

Viridian Grip Lasers for North American Arms revolvers have a simple and intuitive design that activates automatically when the user grips the handgun. Every Viridian Laser for the NAA revolvers is easy to install and adjust and is designed to fit the frame of the gun. Viridian grip lasers increase comfort and improve the ability to accurately shoot the firearm thanks to a rubber over-molded design. The grip features a highly-visible red laser for rapid target acquisition, and each Grip Laser comes with Viridian's industry-best, seven-year limited warranty.

“Adding firearm-specific Grip Lasers to our revolvers is great,” said North American Arms Sales Manager Jessica Jarvis. “Now North American Arms owners and future owners get increased performance across all .22 Mag. revolvers. We’re also excited for what’s coming in the very near future. We look forward to a long partnership with Viridian and think our fans and self-defense enthusiasts everywhere will benefit as well.”

The NAA PUG-D is a small-framed revolver designed for self defense and is chambered in .22 Mag. This 5-shot capacity wheel-gun is a popular choice for on or off-body carry for years, and the addition of a reliable, highly-visible laser as part of the grip increases effectiveness in many different scenarios.

“North American Arms has carved out an area of expertise unparalleled in this industry,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “Partnering with the brand and team over there just makes sense. The Grip Laser for the PUG-D is a great start and there are some very exciting additions coming in the near future.”

MSRP for the Grip Laser for the PUG-D is $199, and more information on the full line is available at viridianweapontech.com.
