Shot gun laser/light

Postby Bearcatrp on Fri Dec 15, 2023 2:36 pm

Anyone know of either that can handle the recoil of a 12 gauge? Have looked in the past (been a few years) and those I did find don't last very long. Thanks.

I have a Streamlight TRL-2 on my HD shotgun. It's a bit pricey, but quality usually is. There are cheaper options, but none that I'd stake my life on.
A friend has an NC-Star Tac Light on a shotgun that gets used for hunting raccoon. He's never had any trouble with it and it's had quite a few more rounds down range than my HD shotgun has.

Decided to go with the NC-Star TAC green laser to try out. But will keep in mind the more expensive ones in the event this laser fails.

I'd be interested in how this turns out. I've got a low cost Crimson Trace that I don't think would work well with a shotgun but I'm willing to be persuaded to move up.

Isn’t nc star cheap Chinese junk? Honest question, I owned one of there scopes several years ago and it failed under recoil to 6.8 spc. Wrote them off at that point. Do I need to give them a second chance?

I’ll let you know how it goes after I test it out. Recovering from shoulder surgery so won’t happen until around march.
