Best Shotgun Laser Sights

A lot of readers of the blog ask about the best shotgun laser. Personally, I don’t use them on my shotgun but tested several of them. So let me share my experience with two of the best lasers for shotguns.

Best Shotgun Flashlights – Updated, August 2020

It is extremely important to have flashlight on your shotgun. You can’t shoot if you can’s see a target. I have tested many flashlights and decided to make a new post. This post has information about old flashlights and new ones.

I was surprised that some of the inexpensive flashlights are really good, reliable and bright. I still prefer Fad Defense Speedlight because of its compact size and brightness but you may choose one of the other flashlights.

Remington 870 with Streamlight TLR-1, Indoors

Chief Brody posted test of his Remington 870 with Streamlight TLR-1 on Remington 870 Forum:

Meant to do this a long time ago, and wish I could do a better job – but anyway this’ll give you a good idea of how this particular light works. My camera wasn’t really getting the job done with the apartment any darker than it is, but you can see – the Streamlight is plenty bright with the lights ON. I’m a righty, and I have the TLR-1 mounted on the right side of gun, with Streamlight’s magazine tube mount. I can easily manipulate the switch using my left index finger, without shifting the rest of my hand on the forend. I took these holding the shotgun with my right hand and the camera with my left – that’s a workout!

Streamlight TLR-2 Flashlight/Laser on Remington 870 Review

This is review of a very good tactical upgrade for Remington 870 shotgun: Streamlight TLR-2 Flashlight/Laser combo. I have installed it using CDM Gear BMT clamp with picatinny rail. I think this is the best way to attach Streamlight TLR-2 or Streamlight TLR-1 to Remington 870.

I really like this flashlight/laser combo, it is lightweight and easily attaches to a rail. TLR-2 is low profile and doesn’t stick out much. Streamlight TLR-1 which doesn’t have laser is even smaller.
