For those wondering about the zero, I have one of these on my Canik METE SFT and I put probably almost 100 rounds through it with no noticeable shift in my ~15yd zero. Honestly I don't feel like I would be using the laser much past that range so im happy. It also has some screws you can dial in so there is no wiggle at all once you clamp it down.

That's sufficient.

I am not looking for Hollywood movie style accuracy, but something that gets you on target and stays there.

How well does the laser hold its zero ?

I have found it hard to find an affordable handgun laser that actually works for a 9 mm.

I haven't had a zero shift on my glock 19. Maybe after more rounds it might. - I also have one on my glock 22lr and have had zero issues with shifting zero.

Clamping down doesn't improve your zero, clamping down will cause it to shift zero, once the zero is set, the screws need to not be able to move in either direction or have a cross lockout setting that can be used to lock them in place. Mine came offset from factory and even superglue didn't work to hold zero, me and my buddies eventually shot it up after a month of tinkering and trying to get it to work. Their lights are great budget lights, lasers are garbage. 15 yards is Point to shoot territory so zeroing your laser there would also mean you're 5 feet off at 50 yards, maybe more based on your height under bore. defeats the purpose of the laser in my opinion :(

Laser's are meant to be run parallel to the bore at all times, this allows for a constant deviation from your barrel to infinity, in essence the barrel will always point 1" away from your laser, and you compensate for bullet drop from that reference. Dont Zero your lasers people.

I saw a video on that recently. Sounds about right.

Offset as in the laser was not in the centre of the bezel? Or you could not adjust it parallel with the bore using the adjustment screws?

I think the poster talking about clamping the unit down was referring to removing any play between the rail and the mount that could also add to changes in alignment, I didn't think that was possible and just accept that lasers are more centre mass propositions then competition winning level groups.

5 feet off at 50 yards when zeroed at 15 sounds like something is wrong if your not pulling your shots.... I would have returned the defective (offset, what ever that means) unit rather then shoot it up and give Olight a second chance or get a refund.

edit, I suppose the 5 feet thing might pan out if your laser was mounted way off to one side... like maybe 16 inches or so but I'm having a hard time imagining that setup. Running parallel makes good sense for a side mounted laser.
