1. A firearm, comprising:
a frame having a first outer wall and a second outer wall opposite the first outer wall, the first wall defining a first groove and the second wall defining a second groove such that the first groove and the second groove interface with each other to form a receiving socket;
a laser module configured to emit a beam along a beam axis, the laser module having:
a first end,
a second end opposite the first end,
an emitting surface, at the first end, having a first radial width, and
an annular ridge, adjacent the second end, having a second radial width greater than the first radial width, the annular ridge comprising non-parallel contact faces;
a resilient member at least partially surrounding the laser module at the annular ridge, the resilient member:
contacting the first groove and the second groove,
comprising an internal seat, the internal seat comprising facets receiving the non-parallel contact faces of the annular ridge, and
being configured to enable angular movement of the laser module relative to the frame;
a first alignment pin disposed adjacent the laser module along a first direction;
a second alignment pin disposed adjacent the laser module along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and
a biasing component disposed adjacent the laser module and configured to apply a force against the laser module along a third direction, the third direction different from the first direction and the second direction.
