Laserlyte Announces Rear Sight Laser For Taurus Slim Pistols
LaserLyte®, the leader in laser technology for the shooting and hunting industry, announces the new Rear Sight Laser (RSL) for Taurus® Slim Pistols. The new RL-TS is available now and shipping. It is the first of the LaserLyte Electronic Night Sight Series to ship. The RSL’s ground-breaking new laser design incorporated into the rear sight, compact size and revolutionary performance make it the most extraordinary system LaserLyte has produced. Easy-to-install and easy-to-operate, the new RSL offers a high-power laser with the benefit of not having to replace existing grips or internal stock parts.
The RSL’s activation switch is a strategically placed button at the back of the slide that is easily activated by the thumb in a normal shooting position for left- or right-handed shooters. First press of the activation switch produces the night sight mode by a small green LED under the white sight notch. The second press produces laser mode that is programmable to a constant on or pulse beam. The third press is off. The new circuitry also includes an auto-off feature.
This RSL fits Taurus Slim models PT709, PT740 and PT708 in .380 ACP, .40 S&W and 9MM. Visit LaserLyte’s Web site for a complete fit guide. The body is constructed from MIM 4650, nickel enriched high carbon steel, the same material used for most heavy-duty gun parts such as iron sights, hammers and levers. The laser body is precision mounted to a proprietary adapter made of 1018 steel, low carbon mild steel. It is also black chrome, bead blasted for a non-reflective finish. When mounted onto the pistol the RSL will fit all Level I and II holsters.
The RSL is powered by four 377 batteries that provide six hours of normal usage. Normal usage is defined as one minute on and one minute off. This test mimics actual usage where the unit is turned on and off and the battery is given time to automatically regenerate. The RSL is tested and recommended by the National Tactical Officer’s Association.

simply awesome. I have a tritium front sight and this rear sight works as a night sight and then a laser. best of both worlds and if the battery dies you still have iron sights. love it love it love it. removed factory sight and installed this and set it up in about 10 minutes. can’t wait to hit the range. A+ guys. love that I don’t have to get a new holster either.
