Is this light/laser durable enough to withstand the repeated recoil of an AR15 if I attach it near the front of my free floating handguard?

Mine is mounted to its quad rail. Once in place you need to crank it down. You will loose accuracy if you move the hand guard after mounting it. Awesome light though. I now own three.

Yes. I have used the same light on 2 rifles now. Total rounds ~100k. Functions like new except for cosmetic scratches. It mounts nicely just in front of a grip pod.

I purchased this for my girlfriend. She has it on her AR15 (that she built part by part). She has shot approximately 100 rounds through it with the TLR2G mounted sideways. So far no issues. She also took it off after the first range day, placed in it the range bag and about two weeks later we went back and she pulled it out, attached it, and it was still dead on. It was also visible on a sunny day. 100 rounds isn't much of a test but so far it's very impressive. (battery door is tricky). We are considering purchasing one or two more to test on other guns.

I hog hunted with it down in the 20 ' s. Light stayed strong. I have two of these. One on AR and one on AK. I love it. Keep extra set of batteries with you. I tend to leave mine on now and then.

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 think it depends on how many times you were firing the 12 gauge. It is a solidly build flashlight, and it has survived several drops to the hardwood floor. I think it will work fine for home defense, but I m not so sure about a week at the skeet range.

In my experience, this unit takes a lot of "bumping", and certainly handles the recoil, so I will call it very durable. Claiming that it's shockproof could be a stretch. I'm sure if you hit it hard enough, it would fail eventually.

Yes this light is awesome probably have put 1500 rounds through and not even loose!!! Buy it

No. It will not be stable. Even if you attach it with the pin above the trigger area, it needs the rail part to keep it from moving. Sorry.

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.

It's so cheap because this attachment is mainly intended for airsoft use. For the price, hell I'd just buy one and test it out. If it works then you just got yourself quite the steal, if not, then no harm no foul.Personally, this is a very solid sight. It's all metal and has survived several drops on my AR replica. I believe it will hold up.

With the century arms c39 you may want a rifle light...but this will hold well, my laser is still sighted in after 250+ rounds

I'm not sure how well it will hold up to recoil but on crossbow and .22 cal rifle. It works well. The reviews on this were very good so I bought it for that reason. It seems pretty solid and should hold up well. I'd check other reviews and see if you can find more info on this item.

It seems to be very durable in my experience. The body is aluminum and the battery compartment is o-ring sealed for water resistance. The light feels solid in your hand and the amount of light it produces is phenomenal. Would love to have several more just to stash in different vehicles.

Mine is not equipped with the light, but is very form fitting. If you buy the holster fora gun equipped with the light, i wouldn't think it wiuld be a problem.

Yes its good. But its not a eotech or a aim point. I don't know how long it will stay on target I prefer a laser on a ar pistol.

Not ideal for AR. Better off with the regular version of this light (not combat version) if mounting to AR. The rubber ring and irregular surface of the combat light is great for holding while also holding a weapon but not very compatible with most weapon mounts. LaRue tactical makes great mounts, S&S precision also does. Surefire even has it's own.

i truly believe this light could handle a 12 ga. shotgun it's very well constructed , i'm putting one on all of my guns with rails, it's blinding bright don't look into the light it hurts. really an incredible value you won't be sorry

Yes it should hold up just fine to the ballistics but the only real issues will be the mount and drop rate on the cross hairs. The side mounts on the ak have to be extremely tight cause of the extreme vibration of the bolt bouncing back, but would recommend the quad rail or top cover/ receiver cover with rail welded. Next is that the cross hair drop rate is made specifically for the .223/5.56 55gr for drop to 100m 200m and so on. the 7.62 drop rate will be different from the .223
