The name "Crimson Trace" has become so ubiquitous in the firearm industry, that it is almost hard to remember there was a time it wasn't so. Nonetheless, the company that revolutionized the laser sight industry has come a long way since its founding 25 years ago. From laser sights that had to be installed at the factory, to its current lineup of consumer-installed laser sights, red dots, laser saddles and much more, the company has carved out a giant niche in the marketplace. American Rifleman TV heads to Wilsonville, Ore., to celebrate the company's first 25 years. Watch a preview of tonight's episode here
