Has anyone mounted this on a 12 gauge? How would it stand up?

I don't know.. but if you could do it (with zip ties or o-rings)... it definitely would broadcast enough light. to blind the Deer. THAT IS FOR SURE!

It would work well I think. The PD35 is very well balanced between a flood light and a spot light

I can't make promises because I don't own a 12 gauge to strap my light to. But it has never let me down and I have dunked and dropped and froze this light and it has never flickered once. I think it would be at home where ever you put it.

They may make one, but the one I ordered would not fit a 12 gauge. I had a hard time getting it on my 300 win mag.

I installed it on the Magpul version of the 870 (synthetic fore end and stock) with no issue on the receiver as intended. Took a while to "loosen" up the individual shell holders (just load/unload it a bunch), but it works great now. Retention seems to be spot-on. If you bought extended bolts/hardware I would imagine you could mount directly to the stock, but I didn't do it this way, and I would think it might be kind of awkward.

It fits on a weaver/picatinney mount, so it should mount with no problem.I'm using it on a S&W15-22; and it works great. The "shock" from a 12 Ga. would be the only question and I don't know have that answer.

It held up to the recoil of my 308, 270wsm, and 243 win. I imagine, it shouldn't have any problem holding up to an air rifle. Beware, this thing is huge. It might look a little odd on your air gub

I have it mounted on a CVA 50 cal pistol with 8 inch barrel . Heck of a lot with that, and I have seen no issues yet.

Because of your question I went and checked. The one I received worked ideally for 12 gauge. The holder grips the shell body securely and it does not go past the brass case head. I removed the 12 gauge shells from the holder and let the grips "relax" for a few minutes before I dropped in the 20's. I observed that the 20 gauge shells fall right through the holders but catch the lip of the case head and goes no further. I pushed the 20 gauge shells about 1/4 inch deeper into the holder and got a secure register with the case head lip. I gave the gun a good shake side to side and the shells remained in place. In a pinch it will hold 20 gauge shells, just not as snug as the 12's. Just my opinion. Because of your question I went and checked. The one I received worked ideally for 12 gauge.

I have a 12" slider mounted to mine. No mods were needed to mount the saw. It bolted right on.I cannot speak to whether a 12" RIGID will fit or not but it should fit. Yes; you can leave the saw attached with the legs folded.

Tough to say. I have it mounted on a mini 14. It has held zero through about 200 rounds. But a 12 gauge hits a lot harder. For the price it's worth a shot....

14 gauge std. I didn't try a 12 gauge in the slot but I think it might be to big. you might be able to use the side screw terminals for the 12.

(mine) is holding up with no problems on my 45acp pistol and 12 gauge shot gun BUT others have commented here that theirs falls apart in no time?so who knows?

Likely not. The barrel on similar cannons I've had is brass-plated zamac, so it likely wouldn't stand up.

I mounted mine on a rem 870 12 ga. I suppose it will clamp onto any 12 GA or if you already have the rail you could clip it on without the clamp on rail.

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.

I have mounted it on my AK 47 and it seems to be holding up realy well. i shoot about 200 rounds and it held the ajusment. NICE I got it for a rifle I am putting together to make a sniper rifle, a mosin nagant with a archangle stock. I figured I would try it on my AK and if it could handle it it might be able to withstand the Nagant, we'll see

Hi Daniel, this light is suited for any gun with a picitinny style rail as far as mounting (rifles, handguns, shotguns). As far as recoil, all pistol calibers are fine and most rifle calibers up to 5.55, 7.62 russian, and .308 nato should be fine, at least for a long while. The recoil of a 12ga is tough for any light, so i'm not sure how long it'd last, but i wouldn't be surprised if it did well. Cheers.

I have one mounted on a .22 Remington air rifle with no issues. It's been on there for over a year.
