Can anyone tell me how this light holds up over time? I am planning on putting this on a Ruger SR40. I do a lot of shooting with this gun, and want to

I have one on a Glock 17 that I keep as a home defense gun. It's been on for over a year and around 500 rounds with no issues. I just ordered 2 more, 1 will be going on a Weatherby PA-459 12 gauge, that should give a true test of its durability.

This light is very durable, uses an LED bulb and has a lifetime warranty (http://www.surefire.com/warranty). Thus, I think it should hold up and last. However, you might consider the Surefire forend weapon lights (http://www.surefire.com/dsf-500-590-shotgun-forend.html). After you take into consideration the cost of the light, the mount and the pressure switch, coupled with the placement of each, the cost of the single unit may be more palatable.

The TLR-1 works well on most carbines, AR variants, AKs, and such. Although its larger in diameter than most dedicated rifle lights it can preform as light for a rifle, pistol, or shotgun. I would consider if your looking for a "do all" light that's in the $100 range.

Not sure, but I would move on to a better light. I was very impressed when I got mine... looked "high dollar". I didn't even care that the pressure switch didn't work, because I wasn't planning on using it. The big issue is I mounted it on an AR 15 "223-556" and every time I fire if the light is on it cycles through on, strobe, and off. Light works fine if you never fire your rifle... would not ever trust my life with it. I guess it would be fine just to carry in a pocket or something. Gave mine to my 4 yr old son. waste of money :(

Awesome, that is what it is designed for. I have this on a high recoil ak and it is fine on it. Very bright as well.

Wouldn't recommend it. Not sure it can handle the recoil. Also seems to me it would snap off the first time you drop or bang your rifle on something. For the same price you can buy a light attachment for your rail and choose a better weapon light. I have the tlr-4 on my usp .40. Laser holds zero for about 100-150 shots before it starts to creep. Only bought this to avoid buying an adapter as it fits on the usp rail nicely.

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.

Can't directly answer your question, however I want to chip in. Put this light on my shotgun and it worked great until the recoil broke the metal bits that hold the rail. It was after approximately 50 shells of low-recoil 00 buck. I will never buy from this company again. Shotguns may not be it's intended use but these things should be very tough given their potentially life saving purpose.

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.

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.

Fits my Glock 21 Gen 4 perfectly! Also fits the rails on my DPMS AR-15 very well too. I'll say, it's a great light and laser for the price! Very powerful!

Yes. I've had one of these on my sd9 for a while now. I have about 700 rounds through it and the light has held up fine and has had no electrical problems what so ever. The bezel can come loose after a few hundred rounds if you don't tighten it down good, that's the only problem I have encountered.

no problem at all man I installed on my rig went out when it was raining hard through mud lakes and dirt mud roads. this light is great for the price. definitely competes with rigid industries light. if you wire it right it will light up the night and the road you ar on I will provide a wiring diagram how I wired my jeep up

It is temporary. It's a good light. I've had good luck with it and it has withstood many rounds of fire from my Mossberg without fail.

I hog hunted with it down in the 20 ' s. Light stayed strong. I have two of these. One on AR and one on AK. I love it. Keep extra set of batteries with you. I tend to leave mine on now and then.

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 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.
