Anyone mounted a Holosun on a shotgun?

I have a 510C on a rifle that's awesome. All my shotguns have the Vortex StrikeFire 2. I feel like the 507 would be a little small? I put a Vortex Venom on a rifle once and it just wasn't right at all.
In fairness we'd shoot the shit out of our guns at those old shootsI dunno about a holosun on shotgun but you just caused a memory flashback of a video at an NES shoot where some guy was shooting a shotgun and the optic flew off the gun.@Dench knows what im talking about.

some things just do not make much sense and this one is the one of those things...
really, what for? a rail on the shotgun is good enough for the buckshot spread and even for slugs up to 25yds.

Not sure I would run a holosun 507 on something not a pistol or pcc
Not doubting holosuns build qual..but i have one on my stribog one of the floating circle 507s... and its ok but a little small...for a longer lop and spread i would probably throw the 510c on my shotty
I run 2 of those on 2 rifles and they look great there

That's odd... don't knock it till you try it i guess but i would buy that to have a 930 and a 407 for something else... optic is way to smallMossberg sells them with the receiver cut and the 407 installed.

With regard to recoil, I don't think being mounted on a long gun is that tough on an optic. I feel like being slide mounted on a centerfire pistol is about as harsh as it gets, and anything that survives that is going to be fine anywhere. So I would not be concerned about a Holosun mounted on a shotgun.
Now which sight to get and exactly where you want it mounted, that is a harder question.

I have a Bushnell TRS-25 on my M590A1 and it works well.
I had an Aimpoint S-1 on a 930 (sold the gun and the optic) and it worked good.
I had a Holosun on my 1301 to begin with, but I think the buckshot and slug recoil would temporarily close the contacts on the push button switches, resulting in either the reticle changing or the unit shutting off.
Not good!
I moved that optic to an AR-15 and have been very happy with it there.
An Aimpoint H-1 currently rides on my 1301 and has worked really good through a couple of classes and lots of informal practice.

Aridus industries should have a good mounting option
They only have a Mossberg mount for the RMR.

I recently sent them a inquiry asking about a Mossberg CROM for the Aimpoint T-1.

Ah dang, i have a t1 on an 870 in the crom
I have a Holosun 503R on my 1301 and it’s been rock solid for a few hundred rounds. Not exactly a reflex sight, but I wanted something taller so I didn’t have to get my head as low and punch myself in the face.

I had a Holosun AEMS on a 590 for awhile and it did just fine. I only replaced it with a Primary Arms sight because I completed the built that I had already planned for the AEMS. It stood in well on the 590 but a red dot that isn't shaped like a box would be a better choice. Any of the other Holosun sights should be fine and a little more aesthetically pleasing than the AEMS.
I have also been happy with the Primary Arms SLX series dots on shotguns. They hold up very well and at a great price.

I have a Mossberg 590 that I'd like mount a Holosun optic on anyone know what mount options are? I upgraded the front sight to tritium but don't like the idea of trying to pick up a rear ghost ring sight in the middle of the night. Pardon my butting in on the OP's thread....
One option is to put a section of M1913 rail on top of the 590 and then get this mount for your Holosun:
Holosun Picatinny Rail Mount for 407C, 507C & 508T Models
Holosun Picatinny Rail Mount for 407C, 507C & 508T Models

I did the same thing to my 590 to mount a Bushnell.
Meh, if you don't actually train with it and have similar optics on something else, I don't see a huge issue with it.
If it's a 'one off' setup, I'd be concerned with optimal optic acquisition. For instance, I'm reluctant to transition to optics on my pistols because I simply don't train like I used to.

I put a Holosun 510 on my Tokarev 12ga.
