“I bought a gun to protect my family.”
Calm, simple, ready, even if you don't live at the range. When seconds count, there's no button to find in the dark.
Home defense →No button to find. No grip to perfect. The CTL-200 turns the laser on the moment you bring the gun up toward the target, and off when you lower it. That's the whole idea.
"The team at Combat Tactical Laser have taken the rail-mounted laser a quantum leap beyond anything else I have used."

Calm, simple, ready, even if you don't live at the range. When seconds count, there's no button to find in the dark.
Home defense →
No button, no grip strength, no special holster. Arthritis, weak hands, an old injury: it asks nothing of your hands.
Adaptive →
A bright green dot shows every mistake the moment you make it, so you fix it on the next rep, not next month.
Training & range →Raise, dot appears, lower, off. No button in the middle, no grip squeeze. The laser does the work.
Hey, it's Jake with CTL, and I'm going to show you how the CTL-200 activates using no buttons or switches. First of all, the laser is fully on and active, but in the down position there is no activation, to prevent accidental discharges. Upon raising the gun to parallel, the laser will automatically activate to get on target, and deactivate when down. Another example: it is off in a high ready position, but when presented on target it automatically activates for you to get on target. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, if the gun is canted beyond parallel the laser automatically deactivates, and reactivates when presented on target. Another prime example is when working in closed spaces at a compressed high ready: the laser will deactivate and reactivate on presentation. Now we're going to go out on the range and show how these functions work under live fire.
Level the gun downrange and the green dot is on the target. Lower it to High Ready, Low Ready, or turn it to the side, and the laser switches off. The patent-pending MALTS™ system reads the firearm's motion and orientation and turns the laser on and off for you. There's no button, no grip squeeze, no mode to set.
A Marine veteran, an 80-year-old first-time shooter, a first-timer who put every round on target. Same laser, no instructions needed.






Every other laser on the market asks you to do one more thing under pressure. CTL-200 just works when you bring the gun up.

Does it fit your firearm? The CTL-200 ships with adapter cleats for most Picatinny and Weaver rails. If yours has a standard rail, you're most likely good to go.

One tool, many hands. Here's why the CTL-200 wins with the people who carry it.
| Who | Why it wins |
|---|---|
| Home defense | Works around corners, cover, and awkward angles where you can't get behind an optic, and off by itself when you're not engaging. See the home defense page |
| Adaptive & limited mobility | No button, no grip strength, no special holster. Arthritis, weak hands, or an old injury: it still just works. See the adaptive page |
| Training & range | Every flinch and push visible on the target the moment it happens, so the next rep is a corrected rep. See the training page |
| Concealed carry | Carry the way you trained. The dot is on target as soon as the gun levels, including the non-ideal draws real life hands you. |
| Women | Visible-dot feedback that helps newer shooters build confidence, with no strength-dependent activation. |
| Veterans | Familiar handling and no new manual of arms to learn: raise the gun and the dot is there. |
| Private security | A dot on target from a ready position, with nothing to press under stress, and dark again the moment the gun comes down. |
| Hunting & crossbow | Air rifles, crossbows, and sport platforms with a rail. Quiet, hands-free aiming. See the hunting page |
