The hardware is reasonably well made for the price. I am using it on the magazine tube of a 12 ga shotgun and it seems to work pretty well. I rotated the assembly so that the laser is in line with the barrell and the light is slightly off to one side. The pressure switches seem pretty rugged, although they required surprisingly heavy pressure to activate. I have no basis for comparison, but you definitely need to press firmly. The laser seems to be of higher quality than the light, although both function adequately. The light (fixed beam) is the weakest part of the set, although I have not tested the long range effectiveness. It is satisfactory for short range and is better than a mag light. Not sure if a higher quality tactical light could be mounted in the same clamp, since both the light and laser are fairly small in diameter...about .75 in.

I first had this unit mounted on a 4x 35mm scope & it worked o.k. I was disapointed that the light wasn't an L.E.D., however, it was reasonably bright. I found having the laser mounted left, or, right of center was not such a good idea. It was also dificult to center the laser being so close to the light. When I installed a 6-24x/50mm scope, I found the laser completely useless as it wouldn't clear the objective lense. I was, however, highly impressed with the quality of the mounting system material. I was equaly impressed with the quality & power of the laser. I think, with a little re-engineering on the mounting system, you would have scored a high 5 with me.
