How well does the laser maintain accuracy? Does it hold a zero after many rounds? I'm putting it on a 12ga pump shotgun.

I was initially impressed with the value of this product that I purchased a second one. I regret it now. I was using it on a CZ SP-01 .40 S&W; pistol and after a few times at the range, the laser beam on one is permanently pointing way low and can no longer be adjusted. The second one will still adjust but after just a few shots comes off alignment and needs to be adjusted.

I have this on a 1911 45 ACP, I remove this sight every time I clean the pistol and have had no issues and have not had to adjust after replacing on the gun

Look for a laser that mounts to a rifle. The mil-spec ones. They usually look like a rectangular box. If they stand up to .308, they have a good chance of standing up to 12 GA. These flimsy pistol lasers are NOT going to handle a 12 GA for long.

On a 12GA I don't know but I have it on my glock and I have shot 250rds with the laser on and it maintains the accuracy just fine

I bought this as a gift for my mom and unfortunately we haven't gotten it to the range yet. But it seams to be a very solid tool. Minor adjustments.

Laser will not stay on zero, I have a G22, full size with a weaver rail, fits fine.

it worked good at first on my sons mossburg tactical ar .22. after about 500 rounds it got to were I had to re-site it in every time he used it. also it uses batteries like crazy and the laser is not hardly visible in the day lite unless your in the shade. this was as crapy as the mossburg it was mounted on and I sold them both as fast as I could! hope this helps you answer a few extra questions you may have had.

I can only say that I have it mounted on an AR 223. After several hundred rounds it has maintained zero and has not loosened at all. I don't know how it would do with heavier calibers.

To be honest. The dot drifted while shooting. That was with a rifle that has a lot less kick then a 12 ga. I would suggest spending a little more money for a shotgun

The battery life is not great. Even keeping the laser off most of the time, the battery still drains. BUT... the Viridian laser is Great! It's worth having to change the batteries every 4-5 months to have that 'instant on' when you pull the gun out of the holster. I rarely shoot my LCP. I shot it at the range to check the alignment of the laser, but it's basically a 'get off me' type weapon, so I'm not concerned about running a lot of rounds through it.

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.

Works really good on my AR 10 308 cal . I have fired well over 100 rounds { semi-auto} and it holds it zero ....l

I've never used the Crimson trace, but I am satisfied with the laser max. I've put 500 rounds through the lc9 and the laser hasn't needed repositioning. It's accurate for my purposes (5-12 yards). Maybe the CT has other features or ergonomics, but I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

I mounted my Accushot scope on a Gamo Bull Whisper Extreme 177 caliber to test the strenght of the internals of the scope. After 750-1000 rounds it still is very accurate at 40 yards. After my test, I would not mind putting it on a 300 win mag. As a hunting scope in low light conditions it is good for the money. I like the lighted rec.

I have two of these. One on my 300 Blackout and one on my Daniel Defense .223. No problem with holding zero on either gun.

I have one mounted on a Browning camper pistol and one on a ruger 10/22 takedown sighted at 50 tds. Both hold zero exceptionally well. Easy to install, as I would imagine for a Missberg 590. Pain inthe ass to sight in but once it's there it's awesome. I hope that helps.

Yeah I have one on a full size AR, it will hold zero. It can be a little bright on high, and the laser isint the best but it does do its job and holds up very well.. I have even dropped mine a few times it stays on just fine.

this rifle has adjustable sights plus the adjustable scope. once its dialed in with either, ive found it to be very accurate with a variety of ammo including bbs. depending on distance and target, sometimes we pump it as few as 4 times up to 10 times. great gun, very accurate, just spend a llittle time sighting it and ammo wont be an issue.

Yes its good. But its not a eotech or a aim point. I don't know how long it will stay on target I prefer a laser on a ar pistol.

I'm going to say that it won't stay zero'ed in. After several hundred rounds I am having trouble keeping it sighted in. It seems to be built well but is now getting out of adjustment easily. Hope this helps.

The laser can be zeroed to the sights but you need to pick a specific distance to set zero. Remember the laser is an inch or so below the barrel so it has to rise to meet the bullet line of fire. Any shot that is less than the zero distance will be high- any shot further than the zero distance will be low- to varying degrees depending on the distances. If you zero at 7 yards you should be inside a six inch circle at 3 to 10 yards - good enough for self defense inside a home. In my humble opinion.
