Has anyone tried this with a 12 gauge automatic shot gun and if so how does the recoil effect the mounting and the light?

Can`t say much about a 12 gage..........but it works well with my Glock 30. Well made!

I have mine mounted to an XD .40 service model and the one major draw back to this product is the pin that holds the quick release lever. After about 350 rounds through the weapon w/ the light attached the pin began to back itself out. It's a quick fix with a spring pin but it is something to keep an eye on. Hope this helps.

Mine is mounted on an AR15 which kicks much less than a 12ga. This is a cheap scope. I would buy a scope that specifies it works on a shotgun.

I have mine mounted on a .22 pistol and haven't has a problem. I cannot speak to the recoil of a shotgun, sorry.

It will mount, but I sent mine back bc was wobbly in rail and also pressure switch broke after two weeks. I went with the utg 120 lumen after and I love it!! Best light for the money!

I think there is a YouTube review explaining how this light does not hold up very well to shotgun recoil unless you replace the spring in the tail push button.

Hi. I just placed the boresight on my Mossberg 500. It seems to work fine on the 12 gauge. Have a good day.

I mounted it below the barrel on my shotgun. It did move around a bit. I put small strips of rubber in the clamp and it helped.

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

I've used one in a 1" mount by wrapping the body of the light in a piece of bicycle innertube and locking it down. That works fine, and also cushions the light from recoil.

think recoil would quickly ruin it. there are some at the same price or less that I have found that mount on the barrel an legs rotate up out of the way when not in use that would work better

Wouldn't recommend it. Not sure it can handle the recoil. Also seems to me it would snap off the first time you drop or bang your rifle on something. For the same price you can buy a light attachment for your rail and choose a better weapon light. I have the tlr-4 on my usp .40. Laser holds zero for about 100-150 shots before it starts to creep. Only bought this to avoid buying an adapter as it fits on the usp rail nicely.

Mine moved around quite a bit but it was on a 308 that jerks alot. If you have a built in pic rail it would be fine.

I only have a 12 gauge shot gun so I am unable to answer that question, try e-mailing the seller.

As long as you have a rail to mount it on with a mount it is an amazing light. Have it mounted on my ar with hundreds of rounds down range with no problems. It is also extremely bright

I used shrink tubing to make mine fit in my 25mm shotgun mount. With a remote pressure switch, it is a good light. The tailpiece light changes it to single mode operation. I.E it illuminates on high as long as the pressure switch is pressed.

I have it on a Remington 870 saw one on a maverick at the range talked to the guy about his shotty he also liked the light mount. Hopecthat helps.
