Description
Compact green laser sight delivering reliable target acquisition for long guns in low-light conditions with durable aluminum construction and quick-detach mounting.
Whether you’re training in low light or preparing for home defense scenarios, maintaining fast and accurate target acquisition becomes critical when visibility drops. The Holosun LS117G provides a bright green laser pointer designed specifically for long gun applications, combining aerospace-grade aluminum construction with tool-free windage and elevation adjustments. The included remote pressure switch and rear selector give you flexible activation options, while the quick-release Picatinny mount lets you transfer the laser between firearms in seconds without losing zero.
Key Features
- Rugged 7075-T6 Aluminum Housing: CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with MAO (Micro Arc Oxidation) finish for superior durability and corrosion resistance
- Extended Battery Life: Powered by two CR2 lithium batteries providing up to 5,000 hours of continuous operation for years of reliable service
- Dual Activation System: Rear-facing selector switch for constant ON/OFF modes plus included remote pressure switch for momentary activation
- Tool-Free Zero Adjustment: Tactile windage and elevation adjustments with audible clicks at 0.5 MOA per click across ±50 MOA range for precise zeroing
Important Compatibility Notes
- Designed for long gun applications with standard Picatinny rails
- Requires two CR2 batteries
- Green laser wavelength is 520nm
- This model does NOT feature adjustable brightness settings
- Laser visibility in daylight conditions is limited; it performs best in low-light, indoor, or nighttime environments
Why We Carry It
The Holosun LS117G represents the middle ground between budget lasers that fail under recoil and premium military-grade units costing several times more. Since Holosun entered the optics market in 2013, the company has built a reputation for bringing professional-grade features to civilian shooters at accessible price points. The LS117 series uses the same commitment to innovation that made Holosun’s red dot sights industry favorites. This laser is rated IP67 waterproof and can withstand submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, plus shock resistance up to 1000G, making it suitable for serious training and defensive applications without requiring a high budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
How visible is the green laser in daylight versus low-light conditions?
The LS117G performs best in low-light, indoor, and nighttime environments where the green laser is highly visible up to 300 yards. User reports indicate the laser is difficult to see in bright daylight conditions, especially against green foliage.
What’s the difference between the LS117G and the LE117G?
The LE117G is Holosun’s “Elite” series model featuring a Grade 5 titanium housing instead of aluminum, IPX8 waterproofing (versus IP67), adjustable brightness settings (high/low), and a top-mounted activation button in addition to the pressure switch. For most civilian applications, the aluminum LS117G provides sufficient durability.
How difficult is it to zero this laser, and will it hold zero?
The LS117G features tactile adjustments with audible clicks, making zeroing straightforward without special tools. User reviews report that most shooters can zero the laser within minutes. The laser holds zero well through normal use, with verified users reporting maintained zero after 200+ rounds. When mounted at the 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock position, remember to account for the horizontal offset when making windage adjustments.
