HOME DEFENSE FIBER OPTIC SIGHT 12-20GA

For improved sights on my Shockwave I tried a low cost red laser, then a low cost green laser. The red dot was too hard to see in the bright sunlight, and the green worked great but dimmed quickly (overheated?). I could have bought a better green dot laser but didn't really like the extra "appendage" on top of my shotgun that wouldn't fit in my scabbard, so decided to try this simple green fiber optic sight. It is simple, won't quit working, is low-profile, light weight, and is easy to see in bright sunlight so I'm pleased. It went on easy and fits tightly so it hasn't budged. I did spray it with some Krylon camo plastic paint I had on hand to give it a little more eye appeal (the large black plastic piece on the end of the shotgun just didn't get it for me) so I'm very happy with this sight.

Really nice for what I needed I removed the rail or cantaliever arm and clipped this to the front it snaps on pretty tight and got a little mid sight I made for reference it'll be nice for what I need it for my grounds are more tight spaces and won't be for distance so the red dot I had wasn't doing as much good as a simple green bead attached to the end of 835 it's got the rifled barrel with 3 inch accutip Remington to really give some knock down wish me luck.

I had my reservations being such a simple thing but this is pretty good. FYI: I use this on my Mossberg 500A with a legal length security barrel. It also has a parkerized heat shield installed. The security barrel only has a front pin sight. Pros: - no screwing or hardware needed. Literally snaps on in place. Expect that "snap" to be a good one because this thing holds on alot more snugly than you'd think. You need it though - it's a shotty - sight was bright and true enough - it has a V groove that helps you seat this straight directly behind the front sight bead - easy as pie Cons: - not sure how many shots it will take to actually move it but for home security purposes, you can't beat it for the price. I really can't see this lasting a very very long time if you regular the range with it but I will say it didn't shift with the 1 box of 00 shells I put through it (full recoil load). I was pleasantly surprised but again, I probably wouldn't think it would be a regular service item without having a slight shift. I am impressed it held on for the one box though. Definitely worth a shot, I'd buy it again

Snapped right on and, after a little nudge, it snuggled right up against the bead. Very tight fit; I don’t expect it to fall off or move during/after firing. Not useful in low light, no surprises there, but it was a super quick index and acquisition when there’s enough to see by.

Very nice easy install snaped it right on took a little force not much to line up then just took a heavy hunting knife tapped it forward into place didn't even take a minute or two dont see what people are complaining about hard to install or easy to break very nice sight bright only way it could be better if it was made of rubber coated aluminum if your thinking about buying one buy it i almost didn't because of some of the reviews another great tru glow sight great addition to any shotgun self defense or hunting

I was wishing my Mossberg 500 12 gauge that I keep handy for home defense had rifle sights. Then I found this fiber optic snap-on sight. I knew this was a good company, I like their "fiber-optic" sights. This is well-engineered and solid as a rock. I followed the directions and snapped it on directly behind the front bead sight on the barrel. The notch in the plastic wasn't quite engaged with the bead, and I had to place the end of the barrel on a surface, place a wood block on the rear of this snap-on assembly and rap on it with a small hammer. I was thinking if I put alcohol on the barrel before I installed the sight, it might slide easier before it dried. But the instructions specifically state to not use strong solvents. I could have just spit on it I guess. It's not a big deal because I got it positioned tight against the front bead, and it's never moving. In low light, or any light, the fiber optics are outstanding in brightness. This isn't for trap shooting, it's your front-door solution. If this looks useful, don't give it a second thought. Order it.

I am obviously challenged. Product looks robust enough, quality seems adequate, installation was a snap (pun intended); However, as I was lining it up with the bead sight, I snapped the glow rod off. What a dumb@$$!!!

Pros: slips over bead sight high visibility low snag much better than bead sight Cons: its plastic

Tried it on Mossberg 500 12ga 18.5" barrel with 10 slugs It doesn't fall and what most important this sight sits a bit higher that barrel brass bead sight and finally slugs went right on target. Without this sight shotgun was shooting high because barrel brass bead was lower than receiver and it was hard to take a correct aim. So I found Truglo sight sturdy enough, easy to install so I definitely pleased with it. And it will be easy to remove if by any chance I decide to do so.

Beauty edition to my M590a1. Would buy another in the future.

This is a perfect fit on 12 gau single the second sight i have bought Highly visible even in low light. snaps on tight

still not tested but seems good and solid
