Really want to get this but have a concern. Will it hold up to .45 recoil? Thanks

I'd assume so. I haven't had a problem with it on my .40 Springfield XD after several times at the range.

Hello to answer your question if the Ncstar light will stand up to the recoil of a .45, I don't know. I have it on my S&W; .40 and have only shot two 14 rounds mags and thus far the light has held up. However you must remember the light is probably not made for high extreme shooting conditions or continuous shooting at a range, I believe it's more for lighting up a bad guy up who is lurking around your house or in your house and you need both hands free. One thing i did notice is the lense will fog up with powder residue when the weapon is fired. Hope this helps.

I have it mounted to a Keltec KSG shotgun shooting just about everything including some 3" and it has held up just fine. Maybe 500 rounds or so I'd say.

It works just fine for my 9mm glock 17 - it fits real nice and snugg. It kinda "snaps" into place. I'm guessing it would be just fine for a .45 but I can't say that from experience.

I had it on my Smith & Wesson M&P; 9mm i had it out last week and i did a pistol drill to clear rooms and it worked i think i will work on a 45 acp recoil i would buy it and try it out and if it does not work out your out what 19.99

I have several of the UTG scopes and they hold up to recoil just fine! I have them on everything from .22/mag/.223/.270. After thousands of rounds in all calibers I have not had a single failure. The lockable/resetable turrets are great when shooting at differant yardages as you can return to your original zero in seconds without firing a shot! I highly recomend them. I can get sub-MOA groups with my AR platform at 100 yds using a 3-12x42, and sub-MOA at 200 yds with a 4-16x56. Solidly built, accurate and affordable! What's not to like?

Yes this scope will take the recoil. This is a very heavy rugged product. Be careful on the scope height. You will need a way to adjust your cheek weld. The company recommends a 0 moa rail to mount this on. I hope this help you out.

I would guess that the recoil is a 2 out of 10. Not much more than that. Hope this helps.

Hey brother. I'm not too sure if it will withstand the recoil of the .223/5.56. I have an MP 15-22. I returned this optic and bought the TRS 25 red dot with the UTG medium riser. It cowitnesses perfectly with the Magpul BUIS. This a great combo that's effective and very cost effective too. Spend a little extra cash if you can. Don't look to this Leapers sight.

Not a good choice. I bought a stock that has a internal spring system. Firm enough to steady the shot but does relieve the recoil. I have it on an AK-47, but I think it would be more effective for a shotgun. Not cheap. Over $100 but not cheaply made.

I got it attached to mine and sighted it in with no problems. It handles the recoil pretty good, I didn't have to readjust it at all.

As far as rouged and lasting I have it mounted on a 1911 .45acp and have put over 2K rounds down range with it attached. The AK is a great rifle however I would look into the Streamlight for the AR/AK platform not the handgun model. I would not personnal put this on my rifle I would use the Crimson Trace light/ lazer combo vert grip or the larger Streamlight for your application. All that said it also depends on what your doing with it, hunting hogs? get a flood light, home defence- I wouldnt use an AK...

I can say it is sturdy , I can't say .308 recoil but 9mm is fine I haven't had any complaints and I have used the sight regularly , hope this helps

I have used a .22 on it and it dents it. But if u dont mind the dents it holds up very well.

Put mine in today, not quite the mag drop I was hopping for. I have 22/45 lite, the mag still hangs a bit. Seems to be very little tolerances inside the mag well. Any one else having that issue ?

should hold up fine. FMJ bullets are tough on it though. And distance from target will obviously

At first I thought I received a broken one, turns out the mount was bad, so far it has held up on a .308 Zastava AK for over six months. I fire the gun about every other week shooting at least 100 rounds through it. So the tiny .223 should not be a problem.

I own a couple of these scopes. I have them mounted on low recoil rifles such as a .243 and 5.56. Im not sure how well it could withstand the recoil of a 30-06. sorry

(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?

I have it mounted on a AR so the recoil isn't as bad as a shotgun. I did drop a couple fimes already and it still worked. For $25 Its ok. I am planning on getting a higher end one eventually but for now it serves it purpose. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful
