I was feeling sort of proud about getting my Maverick 88 outfitted with a Streamlight mag tube rail and a Crimson Trace CMR-209 weapon light. Everything fit properly, and getting it all snugly mounted was simple & painless. Best of all, I'd met my goal to hold total cost at about half the shotgun's purchase price (since it will just be locked to the wall 99.9% of the time).
The misgivings set in as I cleared away the shipping materials and saw this note on the weapon light box: "FITS MOST PISTOLS WITH PICATINNY" etc., etc. Whoa, it was called a WEAPON LIGHT when I ordered it; nothing at all suggested it might be only about pistols! Hmm, maybe they only mean that its relatively small dimensions make it suitable for pistols, not that its use should be limited to pistols. Or do they?
So, rather than taking it to the range to learn for myself if that weapon light will survive 12 ga. recoil, I decided to first tap the experience and wisdom available on the discussion forums at Northwest Firearms. What say you?
