Have any of you actually fired a weapon with this light mounted on it when the light was turned on? Recoil from my .22 air rifle cycles the modes!

Recoil PULSE on 22 AIR RIFLE is actually SHARPER and harder on scopes than 300 Win Mag rifle cartridge,, BEEMAN did testing on this in the 1980's,, surprising.. If memory is correct, they claimed their scopes lasted longer than even 50bmg vs 22 air rifle. FYI, free info is worth what it cost. THAT SAID: IF THE LIGHT DOESN'T STAY ON OR OFF LIKE IT SHOULD,, SEND IT BACK

Yes I have it mounted on a 5.56 with a muzzle brake. Not alot of recoil but more than a .22. You may have a bad switch.

Yeah I shoot my Gamo silent cat all the time. Maybe switch out the end from push button to the one you grab to turn on.

Not really, the laser is too far down from the barrel. So wherever the light aims, the bullet will usually hit above it. Your better off putting your own laser or something.

Not ideal for AR. Better off with the regular version of this light (not combat version) if mounting to AR. The rubber ring and irregular surface of the combat light is great for holding while also holding a weapon but not very compatible with most weapon mounts. LaRue tactical makes great mounts, S&S precision also does. Surefire even has it's own.

I don't recommend this light much at all, I would go to a gun shop to see what they have to offer, the light is very bright but as soon as you shoot the gun the light bounces out of alignment. The other issue with this particular one is that the flash light part does not thread on it is a twist and clip so it will be loose all the time. The one in the store actually threaded in so felt it would be more accurate. This is not accurate at all and does not matter how many times you set it. As soon as the gun is fired it will knock it out of alignment. Not sure why this one was so much different then the same one in the store even though it has the same box, and same model.

Hi, Christine...Great rifle or shotgun light... You have the option of a momentary pressure switch or an "off/on" tail switch (comes with both!). Nice rigid mount for a shotgun/rifle, also. I suggest getting a couple of 3.7 volt #18650 batteries and charger with it. I ordered my charger and 2 batteries at 3000mah for $8.60. Sold by WorthTrust Company. Good luck with everything so far.

think recoil would quickly ruin it. there are some at the same price or less that I have found that mount on the barrel an legs rotate up out of the way when not in use that would work better

Just a helpful hint for you guys, Now this depends on how much you use the gun but I will leave a light coating of gun oil on the light lens that way if need be I can wipe it on my shirt or with my fingers if need be during and operation. Wont work if you going to leave the gun on a shelf or in your safe because it will dry out. The oil keeps all that crap from sticking to the lens. I am assuming this has a glass lens like my surefire lights.

Yes the light works good. It shines right below the bit that is in the chuck. If you look at how its positioned, just above the trigger, it shines straight ahead. Its a bright light.

For me this is the thing I liked least about the scope-- the light is VERY hot. My slides dry out very quickly. I am going to try to change it out for a cooler LED if possible. Hope this helps. Dr. Carol Mahon

I have had no issue with it at all. I have it on a 9mm AR pistol build I did. I keep it in what I call a "loose zero" Meaning it does not need to be dead on where the bullet hits, just within 2 inches or less. It does this with no problem. I put it on the gun and really never touched it. The laser is just about 1 1/2" left of where bullet impact occurs and that is at 10 to 15 yards. It has never shifted. Around 2000 rounds with this laser on the gun so far.

There are some universal rail mounts for lights however this light is not designed to stand up to the recoil of a firearm. My ultrafire loses contact with the battery and blinks if I smack it very hard. These just aren't made to take that kind of abuse.

It is a very handy little light. I like that is uses 3, AAA batteries. I would say try it on the weapon with various loads. If you develop problems with it, then better now than when you need it.

Yes. I have used the same light on 2 rifles now. Total rounds ~100k. Functions like new except for cosmetic scratches. It mounts nicely just in front of a grip pod.

I love it on my AR15. It's bright and sharp. I have no problem using it out to 400 yds. so using it on a .22 would be more than adequate for the range.

Mine is mounted to its quad rail. Once in place you need to crank it down. You will loose accuracy if you move the hand guard after mounting it. Awesome light though. I now own three.

you would need a different mount or a rail of some kind to mount it to your shotgun, but the light is sweet. I bought two and have both mounted on either side of my AR and 2000 lumens really lights up the kill zone.
