Not bad, not great - Beamshot Compact IR Laser Aimer w/IR Illuminator

Paul's Review of Beamshot Compact IR Laser Aimer w/IR Illuminator
A caveat, I haven't shot this yet. Beamshot is a good company, so I assume with confidence that it will work fine. This provides a civilian grade laser and IR illuminator in a small, lightweight package. I have it currently mounted on a G34 with a ALG 6 second mount. Under Gen III+ NVGs, the beam is tight and close to civilian allowable max power. it mounted close to zero (confirmed through the Aimpoint currently mounted on the pistol. The illum works well to 50M and OK past 100.
The on/off switch (not to be confused with the on/off button) is a nice feature but poorly executed. The switch is very small and plastic. So hard to manipulate in the first place and a real concern it could break. There are also multiple modes of operation which is good, except choosing them is a bit confusing and the location of the buttons make it easy to change modes when you don't want to. The on/off button is difficult to access without breaking your grip on the pistol. I haven't discovered the full-time "on" mode and so it really is hard to use effectively. I'll probably change this over to a 22 pistol and get a different IR laser/illum for my G34. Not a bad product and i don't regret the purchase, just not ideal for what I wanted and certainly not a replacement for a surefire/streamlight.
Best Used for:
