So are the crimson trace lasers actually solid because the one optic I had from them had the glass fall out after like 50 rounds
streetmitch@reddit
Once Crimson trace was bought out all the optics are basically just chinese branded stuff. These are solid, the other engineer at my company designed these right before they were bought out. I have one of the first prototypes still on my shockwave and its great.

Their lasers are legit. I have one on a pocket pistol that has seen several hundred rounds (painful) with no zero shift. An optic branded by them was almost certainly made by someone else.
All that said a laser on an 870 is turbo dumb except for the fun factor.

Inagine using a laser in the year of our lord 2026

Imagine thinking you need a laser to use a.. checks notes.. shotgun.

Actually the really old rule of thumb for buckshot spread was 1" per yard.
Modern HD loads like Federal FliteControl keep all of the pellets in a chest size group (or smaller) a lot farther out than you evidently think.
So at close distances, shotguns have to be aimed just like other guns do.
And with recent designs like the Mossberg Shockwave and Remington Tac-14, lasers can be a handy addition to the weapon.

Lasers on firearms are mostly a waste: they add weight, bulk, and another battery/gadget to fail without solving your real problems. They're hard to see in bright or cluttered scenes, can get knocked out of alignment by recoil, and often make people chase a dot instead of mounting the gun naturally and using the sights. Most don't cut through the cartridge smoke after the first shot, so the dot disappears when you need it most. Also, the point that it is accurate is specifically relevant to the distance of the target, which changes if the target is moving. There's like a million reasons why lasers are a dumb idea.
At typical shotgun ranges, you're already pointing, not aiming, so the laser gives a false sense of precision while you still have to manage pattern and target ID. A good light plus solid fundamentals beats a laser on a shotgun every time.

Matters less with a long gun but lasers also cause you to target focus rather than front sight focus. I've read a ton of AAR's from police and military in firefights and they most commonly describe one of two things:
1) All I could see was the bad guy. Mag dump however they remember only firing a few shots, usually few if any hits.
2) My front sight looked 4x larger than I had ever seen, and thats all I remember. Only a few shots fired, nearly all of them COM hits.
RotaryJihad@reddit
Correct. We need nine lasers to sight each pellet of 00 individually
pantlesspuma@reddit
That exists. Or at least it used to. Please don't make it come back and haunt me again

I saw it at the range just last weekend. Two retirees came in and shot their shotgun while sitting down, and the thing turned into a giant circle at 15 yards. Then they set their guns down on the used target pile and walked away so a bunch of trash piled up thanks to them.

For $50 fuck it
LilGayKIdd@reddit
Will this fit those blue line clones?
StolenPies@reddit
Well, if nothing else I'll have an answer for you by Thursday
GiveYerBallsATugYaTF@reddit
!Remind me Thursday :)
Jason1435@reddit
Already can tell you, they aren't drilled on top line they need to be
jamesonandmotorcycle@reddit
I also would like to know please
Jason1435@reddit
Nada, not drilled
StolenPies@reddit
Will do
Jason1435@reddit
Answer is no, unless you drill and tap it. They do not come ready for any kind of scope.
Jason1435@reddit
No, not drilled or tapped if your referring to the $110-$120 ones.
iFightForOurRights@reddit
Wish the Mossberg was this price.
ElPrincesoFreso@reddit
$229 wow !!! I can only hope it goes on sale on day
Supetition4rad@reddit
Yeah want one for my shockwave
Fruit-Flies113@reddit (OP)
I bought two, and midway also had their off brand estac shotgun card on sale, it was only the 4 count olive green which is $6 as opposed to $8. If you buy two the $49.99 will matter and you’ll need an other item.
