Reviews & Ratings for AimShot LS 8100 Green Laser Sight — 9 reviews — Page 1

My unit was dead on arrival, which could happen with any product, no matter how expensive. Still, I've lost a little confidence in this brand. I will return it for a store credit and buy a different one.

Bright green, CR123 batteries, exactly what I was looking for. My only concern is about the pressure pad, this is the second one I've had to order, the first one had a defective pressure pad. That's why I only gave it 4 stars.

Here are the facts:
Optics planet states a switch is required in there notes bust a rail switch comes withe the laser. But because of that I ordered one.
Day one SIG 516 rail mounter underneath.
Laser keeps moving in the housing at first I thought is was the mount but after tightening so much and it kept moving I finally striped the short provided screw. To the hardware store longer screws worked much better great firm hold on rail.
Day 2 switch failed tested with ohm meter and it was bad. Replaced with other switch I had ordered and back in action. Sighted in perfect bright sunny day 15 yds great visibility 25 yds good visibility. First 3 shots perfect next 2 laser moved in scope field of view. Scope still on laser off. Spent over 2 hours trying to get it to stay but every time I would fire a few rds it would move again. Sending it back to aimshot.

Pros: Good visibility
Cons: Won't hold zero

The unit uses a 4-setscrew arrangement (N-S-E-W) with small setscrews requiring a tiny allen wrench. Zeroing is a real pain, requiring many itterations of miniscule adjustments. And that is compounded if the unit is not mounted exactly vertical or horizontal (as in my case). The beam is bright, though in full sunlight it is difficult to see past 20-25 meters. I also had to order a replacement pressure switch after about 3 weeks, but the second switch has been working well for over 6 months.
Pros: Bright. Holds zero
Cons: Very difficult to adjust

Since the laser doesn't come with instructions on adjusting it; I called the Aimshot "technical" dept.. The person i spoke with couldn't tell me how to aim it ! Had to take a trial and error approach to figure it out. Perhaps I should call Aimshot and instruct them on how to handle their product ! Optics Planet rocks ! Great service and good prices.
Pros: Very bright, able to see dot in daylight out to 60+ yards. Holds zero.
Cons: Adjustments not easily madeas with Crimson Trace products. Laser does not come with instructions , very irritating !

after adjusting (aiming) the laser it stopped working. I thought it might be a faulty switch or have something to do with the battery cap, though I did not touch it. I managed to get it working though I do not not exactly what I did to make it work. This happened the two times a adjusted the laser.
Pros: very bright, able to see outside during day

was much more difficult to zero than I had anticipated.
Pros: bright
Cons: hard to zero
