Lasermax for the 870
Before I get flamed for wanting to put a laser on a shotgun, here's the deal. Some buddies routinely do their pig hunting/thinning w/ NVGs at close range, currently with ARs. I've been with them several times and thought the shotgun might be a better choice at the ranges they get into - right in among them.
For me to be able to shoot my 870 through NVGs that I have little practice/experience with, I could use some aiming assistance, and this might do the trick. Another option would be to put my eotech on the 870, but that seems like a waste of a perfectly good eotech and overkill/too much crap. A decent laser/flashlight combo would be perfect if I can find one that will work.
Does anyone know if you can activate the laser without turning on the flashlight on the lasermax model? It would be less advantageous if you had to alert the pigs to your presence by turning on the light.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
