Customer Reviews

Not bad, not great3
Over all this product is decent. I use mine with a Beaman pellet gun for varmint hunting. First I mounted it on the barrel and then went back and bought a NCStare scope mount for it. The scope mount greatly improved the range the siting in was good for.

PLEASE NOTE: This product COMES WITH a pressure switch. You DO NOT need to buy the pressure switch that amazon suggests to "But together". Not only is it not the right switch, but it is completely unnecessary. Now I have an extra pressure switch I have no use for.

Things I liked about the product:
* Good distance
* The construction feels like it could take a real beating.
* Operation is simple.
* Battery life is pretty long.
* Installation is quick and painless.

Things I did not like about this product:
* Without the optional pressure switch you turn the laser off ad on by loosening and tightening the cap. Would adding a button switch to the cap have really added that much production expense? Not having a button switch really diminishes the quality of the product.
* To site in the laser you have to take off the cap on the front and adjust two hex screws with a tiny hex key. Not something you really want to do in the field. Since this laser will most likely NOT be in the place of a scope you will need to adjust it pretty often depending on exactly where you attach it; more often if it is on the barrel and a little less often if it is attached to the scope. Side adjustments, like a scope, would be a HUGE improvement. I would have paid double if this product had more convenient adjustments.
* The adhesive on the pressure switch quickly went bad and had to be replaced.

This is not a flaw of the laser, but I thought it might be useful information for people also doing varmint hunting or night time shooting. The green is so bright at night that you can barely see anything but the laser. This is especially true if you are using the laser in conjunction with a scope. If you are shooting at small animals it makes them very hard to see. The green spectrum of this laser also causes night blindness and leaves spots in your vision (THIS IS TEMPORARY like you would experience with a bright flash light). In retrospect, red would have been a better performing option for night time shooting. The red laser does not leave spots in your vision and has little to no effect on your night vision. In the day however, the green laser is GREAT - very bright and easy to see!

The product has been fun to use thus far. However, knowing what I know now about using it on a regular basis and what a pain it is to make site adjustments, I would not buy it again. It may work well for paintball where targets are larger and the range of distances you will be shooting are not as varied, but for small fast moving animals at varying distances it is not ideal.

I'm done with Amazon except for books!1
I won't bore with the many errors involved in the ordering process...actually when Amazon sent me the email asking for a review, I thought it was another duplicate product they were anouncing would be arriving soon.
Three of the same products arrived on the same day, two were refused and the one I accepted was missing the most important part...the whole reason I had order it. I wanted the mount for the lazer light, didn't really care about the laser itself. When Amazon tells you there is a process to stop an order if you make an error, DO NOT BELIEVE THEM...nothing stops once you press the order button and their excuse is: WE ARE SO LARGE, NINE MILES OF INVENTORY, WE COULD NEVER STOP AN ORDER. Then, they accept the return but do not credit the shipping, even though the product was missing parts. Go figure! I don't have the energy to follow up on Amazon's poor customer service.

Shipping Nightmare1
I ordered this product as a Christmas Gift. When it arrived, a piece was missing. I received an almost unintelligible e-mail from a company representative explaining that "our stuff made mistake and short pack THE BARREL CLAMP with your orders." I will admit that someone did answer the 800 phone number that was given, but I could barely understand what she said to me. I am still waiting for the missing piece (over one month later). I would NOT recommend that anyone ever buy anything from this company.
