This review by Brass Facts critically evaluates the Somogear PEQ15, an airsoft-market laser aiming module, for potential use on real firearms. Despite its $300 price point and origin from China, the unit demonstrates surprising durability and zero retention over 2020 rounds. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, highlights its 'potted' electronics and functional Crane plug as key advantages over other replicas. However, limitations in illuminator focus, laser co-alignment, and slightly reduced full-power output compared to regulated US units are noted. The review concludes that while not recommended for primary duty weapons, the Somogear PEQ15 offers a cost-effective way to gain night vision capabilities for secondary or tertiary firearms, depending on individual risk tolerance.
