Its a good light and laser combo, but large. It does not come with a momantary switch as far as I have seen. There are switches on either side of the unit, but they are constant on/off only. I only have experience with them on handguns though...

Quoted: ...anyone have exp. with them??? See: http://www.laserdevices.com/infopage.asp?a=laser_rifle&id=210025&action=deviceresults.asp This seems like a good combination.  It looks like an OP6 with a laser system also.  Feedback is appreciated. IO1

THe Blast is a very good light and laser setup. You can get a momentary tape switch for it. I am a LE/Military Distributor for them so let me know if I can answer any questions...

Quoted: NAG: I agree that it is a little large, but it still seems smaller than the combination of an OP-6 and a PEQ-2a, and prolly weighs less also. Grant: How is the laser compared to the PEQ and/or Atilla (distance, daylight usage, brightness, consistancy)?  Durability will be an issue as well for me, so thoughts/comparisons there are also appreciated.

Well to be perfectly honest, I have only used a PEQ a couple of times and have ZERO experience with the Atilla. I have heard from many informed people that the Atilla is great. I think the LD OTAL is a very good laser system (probably the best availabe to the Civy market) and think their IR model would hold its own (especially on the durability side)....

Your absolutely right, when I think of the BLAST I am thinking pistol. Like I mentioned, I only have any experience with them on handguns. But on a rifle, I would imagine it is somewhat smaller and lighter than if you had seperate light and laser units. Possibly a little boxy, but considerably lighter. I have seen one or two of their thumb screw mounts break under handgun recoil, but the one you had pictured at the link had an ARMS mount, so I think that would be a better option. If you did not want to pay extra for the ARMS mount, I know they make a allen screw mount that can go in place of the thumb screw. It wont be nearly as detatchable, but it is supposed to be more durable. The ARMS mount is probably the most secure while still being QD. It will, however, be the most expensive.
