| What is the best / most popular laser to mount on an AR? |
| The whole green visible laser is pretty popular right now. They are really cool, however I have played with several that claim they can withstand recoil and hold a zero but haven't found that to be the truth at all. Most of the green lasers require you to remove the cap and use a tiny allan wrench to adjust 3 screws to zero the laser, pieces of shit, the other model that has external windage and elevation adjustment does adjust a whole lot easier but still doesn't hold very well. You can hit them with your hand and they will move the POI several inches as close as 25 yards. Best bet is to get a real weapon laser from lasermax or the like, expensive but they do work. |

Insight CVL/PEQ5 used to be military issue and is a very decent unit as well as the OTAL.
You really get what you pay for. If you're getting sticker shock, that means you're getting a unit that will work for you when you need it. I'd budget a minimum of $500. If you're not getting sticker shock, chances are you're looking at something Chinese that's good for airsoft and is not durable enough to handle being on an AR for long. |

Insight recently raised their price on the CVL to just shy of $1000. Why? I have no idea. It is part of the SOPMOD Block 1 kit, but that shouldn't make it twice as expensive as the comparable unit from the competition, the Laser Devices OTAL. We sell them both here.
It's true that you get what you pay for. The more robust, milspec housings and positive click adjustments retain zero. There is a lot more information on our site. Feel free to give us a call if we can help. |
