The Viridian R5 Gen 2 is a laser only device made for the M&P Shield 9 and 40. It's a laser that serves as a fast aiming reference point without sight picture alignment.

The laser is green, which is 50X brighter to see than a red laser. Most times in the dark the green laser sight can almost illuminate a large area of the scene, especially in a small room.

The battery lasts up to 5 hours, 3X more than the Gen 1 model.

M&P Shield Light FAQ

Is 100 Lumens too low compared to what's on the market now?

A 100 lumens light might sound weak, but with a concentrated hot spot beam, it can be as effective to 10 - 20 yards for close range applications.

Will my M&P Shield 9 or 40 recoil forces damage my light?

Ensure you mount the unit tight!

9mm and 40SW will not damage your light during recoil. They're shock proof just like all other products companies like Surefire, Streamlight, Viridian & CrimsonTrace make.
