Instapark RAS RIS Rail Mounted Tactical High output 3Watt LED Flashlight w/ Laser Sight: Customer Reviews & Product Details

Didn't fully appreciate the quality and function of this reasonably priced device till after I got it mounted on the magazine tube of a 20" eight shot Mossberg 500A pistol grip shotgun. Cruiser or Presuader model I think. Used a LaserLite tri rail mount to mount it under the magazine tube.

It lights up the interior of my house well. It's a sturdier set up than I expected it to be. Used small wire ties to solidly attach one of the two included pressure switches to the vented hand guard where I can activate the laser and light at the same time with one touch of my left thumb.

Tried to push it around to intentionally knock the laser out of alignment... but it's still right where I set it.

Don't know how it will hold up under some target practice yet. The LED light should hold up OK.

Would like to see a stronger locking type attachment between the plug in remote pressure switch and the body of the light. That's the only potential weak link I can see if it were to get snagged and pulled loose. Yet, one can simply use the switch mounted on the back of the unit which automatically takes over, when the remote pressure switch is unplugged, if that were to happen in a tight situation...

This appears to be one of those decent Chinese made products. It's of better quality than I thought it would be for $90.

I bought this device intending to mount it on my full-size HK USP .45, as none of the info here indicated it wouldn't work for this. From my experience so far, I would not recommend the Instapark Tac-Light/Laser for use on handguns, period; it is really far too large to mount correctly. I tried it on several other pistols to make sure (all of mine that had rails): HK USP's, Glocks, Sig P220, and Steyr M-A1; none of these had slots in the rail at the correct place to match the unit's mounting bracket, and/or the unit's rail-mount was hanging completely off the end of the gun-rail. Also, due to the bulk and weight of the unit, it seems to not work well on polymer-framed guns or plastic rails - the unit had a tendency to bend the entire frame of the gun when jostled, potentially degrading the alignment of the laser.

I would personally only recommend this unit for use on rifles, shotguns, or smg's that have plenty of sturdy rail-space underneath. I ended up mounting the light on my Mossberg 500, and it works fine for that.

As long as you know what applications this laser/light combo is good for, it does seem sturdy enough, flashlight is very bright, laser is easily adjustable, and it's available for a decent price.

Pros:
The light is slightly brighter than my older Streamlight TLR-1 at 90 lumens. Laser shows up in a bright room but the diameter of the red dot could be wider.

CONS: The rail clamp and most of the device is PLASTIC.

UPDATE: 11.16.2009 - Mounted to a .45 cal pistol. Shot a few magazines using it. Mounting bracket cracked and laser/light flew off the pistol. Damaged beyond repair. I had this device mounted to a 9mm pistol and it worked ok. This is the first time I shot more than a couple of magazines with it mounted to a .45ACP. This device is not strong enough for anything with strong recoil. Would be deadly in a high-risk situation.

This was a good buy. The light is blindingly bright, and the adjustments and settings are easy to live with. Using it on my SR9 and love it. The only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is that it could be a little less bulky. I would still recommend this to anyone, and anyone that has tried it at the range is impressed.

we purchased three units for our tactical rifles. very high light output on the flashlight, sharp laser dot. comes with two cable switches (short and long coiled). rail mount fits great, screws are secured so you can't lose them in the field. recommended item ! A+
