Anyone mount this thing on a REAL gun?

I bought it for my squirrel slayer: a T/C Contender with a 10" inch .22lr barrel. it did pretty good but I'm into open sights lately. reserving it now for a .357 mag revolver, time will tell if it holds up. the rings are medium height. Would not suggest for a heavy recoil gun, might work ok on AR type.

I haven't but while researching the sight alot of videos show it mounted to pistol. My sight was mounted to a 1911 but I recently switched it to a ar 15 pistol

I have one on a POF 308 and it works fine, dead on target.Have you checked you weapon to see if it's true with just the stock sights. If so then a higher rail may do the trick

Mine came mounted; but then again, when *I* got it, the blister pack had already been cut open. It wasn't new, so I cannot guarantee that. ------ Personally, I took it off after 3 weeks. It was easier to range targets with the iron sights (trusting the red dot at different distances does not work, BB's fly in a REAL arc, and pellets less so, but, it is still either rising or falling - I believe the arc is about +4 inches, and point blank is at about 12-14 yards). If you keep the dot sight on it, mount it *forward* on the pistol "slide", it makes cocking it easier. You do not want to be smashing your dotsight to close the pistol for a shot. And the "green fishing line" F.O.'s work well. Even for my girls, age 8 and 10. --------- ps, great little plinker for accuracy. ---------- for FUN shooting, i got the umarex colt defender. all metal, 1.5 lbs like the real one, only CO2 for BB's, so it sucks for accuracy, if you want to get closer than 8" at 36 ft. but it is fun to plonk 16 shots in 6 seconds, without the pumping and loading. -------- Don't worry about it being installed, that should not be a deal breaker. I bought it cause it was about 5 bucks more, so the plan was to put it on something else anyways. It's just a pellet gun, so all you do is screw it on to the rails, I doubt the acronym MOA ever came up in the engineering discussions. you have to zero all sights for your environment, anyways, so just get it, and go film your new tv series "Squirrel Commander"! --------- Have FUN.

It looks like there is a dovetail in front of the rear sight. You could mount a red dot. However it would move with the the slide when you cock the gun..not sure how accurate it would be..its more of a 'fun gun' for short range tin can plinking..

MINE IS ROCK SOLID, i flipped my mounting bolts over to the left side, added a drop per bolt of red locktight and after getting it finger tight i ever so slightly tightened mine down a half turn or so past finger tight with a socket.. mines never budged. Even at finger tight mine was on pretty solid with no play or wiggle, is your rail aftermarket ? is it a el-cheapo or a quality rail ? is a factory rail on a AR ? im guessing the problem is not the optic.. however you never know. do other mounts fit you rail solid without issue ? contact Lucid.. they are flat out awesome to work with !

I have mine mounted on a Remington 300 Win Mag. And have had no issues so far.

Sorry I was not more specific but I had my friend put them on while I watched and he's a Gun Smith. It didnt seem like it was tough it you have the right mounting screws and I really like the sights so overall im happy with the product. It's worth the money and a little tweaking to mount correctly.

That's the gun I have it on, wish there was an option here to upload a pic to show you. Makes a great addition to my nightstand!

Yes you can install it on a .177cal gun. I put one on my Benjamin pump rifle, using factory mounts. Works great, holds up fine, and looks good also!

I have tried it. It fits well and works well. The only problem I have had with it, is that it scratched the finish of the gun. Although only minor and mostly my fault because I was not careful installing it.

I've looked for a pic of your gun and didn't find one; I would try it because there's a little bit of give to it; you can always send it back.Once it snaps in place it does not move.I am bias for TruGlo I have them on all of my guns.

apologies, I do not know what that is. I mounted mine on 870, and it works perfectly

It's designed to be mounted on a picatinny rail. You may need to purchase an additional rail designed for that weapon.Its very sturdy and super bright!

I used the butt of my hand to put it on the picatinny on Rt side of forend back by mag well opening toward front end of barrel. works really well, looks cool too. I could not get to mount to stock.

I run it with a T-1 on one rifle and with a Larue SPR mount with a leupold mk ar mod1, with no issues, don't know the height, slightly, slightly higher than My magpul pro sights

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.
