LaserMax LMS-1191 - Manual

Installing your LaserMax Guide Rod Laser
CAUTION: The laser may turn on when installed properly in the slide.
Always make sure sight is pointed in a safe direction.
Standard and Compact GLOCK: Hold assembled Guide Rod Laser at the battery
cap end and insert assembly into slide while pushing front of the Guide Rod Laser
through guide rod hole and lower battery cap end down. Note the battery cap’s
ramped protrusion. When installing the Guide Rod Laser, be sure that long edge of
ramped protrusion is facing away from barrel lug and battery cap rests in the half-
moon cut in the bottom of the barrel lug as shown
(FIGURE 6A).
SUBCOMPACT** GLOCK & GLOCK 23 GEN4: Ensure silver mark on battery cap
is oriented toward the scalloped depression in the pistol’s barrel lug. Hold the
assembled Guide Rod Laser at the battery cap end and insert the assembly into slide
while pushing the front of the Guide Rod Laser through guide rod hole and lower
battery cap end down into the scalloped depression in barrel lug (FIGURE 6B). Be
sure battery cap doesn’t slide off and is centered in the slide.
With the magazine still removed, reattach slide to frame.
Cycle the slide. Slide lock should return to the top of slide lock notch. If resistance
is felt, do not force. Remove slide and make sure that the laser assembly is properly
positioned (most common mistake). Attempt assembly again.
Fully cycle slide several times, allowing slide to fall forward under full pressure of
the recoil spring to ensure Guide Rod Laser is seated in the frame.
Compare your Guide Rod Laser to your iron sights to verify proper installation.
OPERATION
Point the pistol in a safe direction; push in the slide lock/laser switch with trigger
finger until a click is felt. Yellow or red dot on the switch will be visible.
The laser will project a pulsing beam that closely matches the point of aim of
factory sights (you will not be able to see the infrared beam without night vision
goggles). Turn the laser off by moving slide lock/laser switch back to center
position. Moving slide lock/laser switch to alternate side will also activate laser
exposing a colored dot on the switch.
No sighting in of the LaserMax sight is required. The Guide Rod Laser comes
factory aligned for POA/POI at 10 yards and is guaranteed to be within 1 inch (1.5
inches for sub compact).

Before handling any firearm, with or without a laser, read and understand the entire
contents of your firearm and laser manual, especially the safety precautions and
procedures for safe firearms handling.
Always make sure the weapon is unloaded and safe before attempting to
install or uninstall your laser or making adjustments or changing laser batteries. Never
put your hand in front of the muzzle of a firearm. Always keep your finger away from the
trigger until you are ready to fire. Test your LaserMax laser periodically during periods of
non-usage to ensure adequate battery levels.

becomes an integral part of the firearm, and the user should become familiar with its
installation and use as with the rest of the firearm.
Congratulations on your LaserMax purchase!
