how reliable is this? will the laser hold zero? i notice most of the 1 star reviews were from shotgun and handgun users. does it work good on an ar15?

I don't use the laser. I just don't work in that close I bought it for the light.
1788665
Nope...the lazer and the whole unit will move enough, even on a carbine or rifle ro make it unreliable. I wouldn't buy it, get a better unit.

I would pay you to not buy this light, plain and simple this is a POS that would not hold zero on a nerf gun. Used it on my AR. The light would not light for more than two seconds. Turns out they don't come with good batteries. Mounting system sucks, light sucks!

I dont know.the one that I had the adjustment threads were stripped out so it would not zero to begin with.also did try it out and it flew apart after first shot.would not buy this item.tried on an ar15 and ther have very little recoil

No the treads strip out easily. So you will not be able to make adjustments.

I have it mounted on a hi point carbine, so far it has held zero. I run about 300 rounds through it. Some people have had a very good experience with this sight, and other have not. I have not had a good experience with this sight. The first sight I bought had to be return because of the small amount of recoil on my hi point caused a short in the circuits, which caused the sight to flicker on and off. Its my belief that this sight would not last from consistent recoil of a 12 gauge of any length barrel. I could be wrong, but you are taking a chance.

Scope has held zero on the two range trips i have used it on, i have it on a ar-15, and works well.

I have had this mounted on my AK47, many shots down range. Less than 1" at 50yrd and less than 2" at 100 yrd. Friend mounted one on his AK with the same results, he just bought one for his AR15, and I'm getting one for mine. Several negative reviews out there, but I can't speak to other peoples installation/mounting or use. Mine and friends work great, holding up to AK47 recoil, multiple disconnects and banging around in /out of trucks. Still holding zero after 8 months. Buy it, price is good and it works.

I installed on an AR10 .308. So far I've put 200+ through the gun, and its holding great. I love it. I have it zero'd at 200yds, and have shot accurate to 500.

I am really pleased with this scope. It holds zero. I use the scope on a AR 10 as well as a AR 15. Both scope are great deal for what you pay. I plan on buying more for future rifles.

It has cowitnessed great on both my ARs, one with a fixed front sight and another with a BUS flip up on a block. Holds up well to .223. Looks like holding up well with ~300 rounds through an AR in 7.62 as well. These are good sights for the $$. I worried alot about co-witnessing at first, but I found that once I get it sighted I just need to bear down on the rifle and put the dot on the target and it is on. I do not try and ensure it co-witnesses before I fire, but if I do put the dot on the very top of the front sight post it is also on the money. I actually use it with the front sight down on the one rifle now (after sighting it) and it is golden...

Jim is completely correct. I have it on my 10/22 and I have also put it on a riser. The mount with the laser and light is useless, mine went to the trash. The laser is Way off and you wont get it to zero besides you cant see it past 25 yards. the scope works well minus the back lights, just don't use them. For the price it is a good deal.

has held zero with no problems, even after full house 158 gr JSP 357 mag loads--the LCR handles 357 mag loads better than any other small revolver anyhow--people who only shoot S/W stuff have no idea how much better Ruger products are--the LCR is a joy to shoot even with hot 357 loads--as I stated in my review of the Lasermax, get the CORRECT size phillips screwdriver to install it so that the screws are drawn down EVENLY & SECURELY--this is very important & they should probably include one with the sight, but do not--the last thing you want to do is mess up a screw, because you need to take them all out to change the battery has held zero with no problems, even after full house 158 gr JSP 357 mag loads--the LCR handles 357 mag loads better than any other small revolver anyhow--people who only shoot S/W stuff have no idea how much better Ruger products are--the LCR is a joy to shoot even with hot 357 loads--as I stated in my review of the Lasermax, get the CORRECT size phillips screwdriver to install it so that the screws are drawn down EVENLY & SECURELY--this is very important & they should probably include one with the sight, but do not--the last thing you want to do is mess up a screw, because you need to... » Read More has held zero with no problems, even after full house 158 gr JSP 357 mag loads--the LCR handles 357 mag loads better than any other small revolver anyhow--people who only shoot S/W stuff have no idea how much better Ruger products are--the LCR is a joy to shoot even with hot 357 loads--as I stated in my review of the Lasermax, get the CORRECT size phillips screwdriver to install it so that the screws are drawn down EVENLY & SECURELY--this is very important & they should probably include one with the sight, but do not--the last thing you want to do is mess up a screw, because you need to take them all out to change the battery « Show Less

Yes, I've had this on my AR for almost a year. But, I take extreme caution with my investment; I baby my baby, baby. No bang arounds. No drops. This set comes with bubble switches, which I instaled on my foregrip for the light, momentary on. The laser I left the button on the back of the laser "as is" push once, on continuous, push second time, off continuous. There are 2 screws to zero @ 90 degrees from eachother to adjust zero. Hope this helps, Ryan. Let me know any further questions. Happy to help.

fits on a standard rail...but, I would spend a little more and get a higher quality laser. Check the reviews, a very real concern is the low quality and inability to zero the laser - mine is now a cat toy and I would not buy one of these again for any reason. I attempted to zero this laser at 15' and 25' and cannot get even close or usable. Even at those short distances, it was off by a foot or more!

This is my "home training" device. I use it in my Glock 22 and 23. When it "fires" the firing pin strikes the laser switch and sends out a laser pulse. This does three things for me: 1) no dry firing (or related need for maint); 2) lets me know where my shot would have hit; 3) lets me "see" my trigger press (the laser smears if not steady). I went from "middle of the pack" qualifying to being one of the top qualifiers. My first shots are now among my best shots. Plus, time from holster to an accurate shot has reduced very measurably. Don't know about the other stuff, as I use this, almost exclusively in my oversize garage with my Glocks and silhouette targets... nothing else. Hope this helps.

I have been using it on a AR-15 and it has been holding sight just fine. If you have the correct rail system, it should mount and work just fine.

Mag worked for me - Barrel gets too hot. Be-careful, over tightening can be an issue. Hope this helps! Fine tuning the laser sight can be difficult. The directions are sparse at best.

Is suppose to work if it have the tactical rail "but" i can't recommend it because this particular laser if you notice works with a switch at the end of a cable so might be complicated to operate. Keep looking and you'll find another with a direct switch which goes in front of the trigger for easy operation. Remember, check If your gun have the tactical rail under the barrel.

I use it on my SR45 and my p95. laser stays right on point . However it's a little bulky. . And with time the power switch starts to fail often.
