Good optic
on September 7, 2024
Posted by: Paden T
I have carried this on duty for about a year now. Overall I’m very satisfied. It is a tad on the big side but it doesn’t really bother me. This dot does have some unique features not mentioned. For instance it was a top mounted emitter, it displays from the top down, as opposed from the bottom up. This virtually eliminates your dot getting interrupted if aiming towards the sunset, I’ve seen on other closed emitters where that has happened but it has not happened with this dot.
I gave it 4 stars because of the battery life, worked days for a while and kept the dot on the second from brightest setting. Even with the 13 hour shutoff it only lasted roughly 4 months. That being said, the battery is super easy to replace.

I run this on my G19 for CCW. I love my mailbox. Convinced my dad to put one on his G20 for hunting.

Critical Optic for Duty Use
on October 15, 2025
Posted by: CESAR D
Impressive RDS optic for my duty gun holds zero after thousands of rounds and getting roughed up through the line of duty. It is definitely reliable, strong and sturdy. The window and quality of glass and structural design is crisp and easy to pick up my dot. Can’t beat the expert price for a duty use closed emitter RDS optic. Have no complaints after over a year of duty use in snow, rain, dry heat, etc. VERY IMPRESSED.

My MPS I was shooting it and the Dot just went off on me. My friend has the same one and it happened to him too. I love the optic but I don’t like this. It’s happened twice to me and my friend
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a great optic. I have a few other brands of red dots on pistols. This dot is by far most crisp for me. Everything works as it should and the controls are good.

Battery Life
Update: Now placed on Glock 19 and it is perfect. Still has survived chronic abuse without fail.
I now own 2 of these optics and I am plenty satisfied and currently recommend it for duty use and even conceal carry to a point.
Currently placed on a Sig AXG and X-compact (unexploded as I appendix carry, I like to live dangerously). Dot is in my opinion a great balance for pick up and precision as you would expect from a duty dot. I am biased and prefer 3 MOA dots to 6 no matter the platform.
Platforms have been tossed, pistols cycled by pulling the optic and even thrusting the optic on a table edge to cycle the pistol with no shift of zero or notable damage.
The optic is enclosed and has kept the dot clear of debris and water build up unlike open faced red dots which love to capture debris, especially while conceal carrying.
The optic is quite large, fondly called a mailbox which can lead to more printing in comparison to other optics on the same pistol but I also like wearing tight shirts as a stereotypical gym bro as you will.
Night vision performance is excellent with settings with a wide range to accommodate day, night and night vision shooting without difficulty.
I plan to have a future project where I use this optic for a LVPO rifle build and will update once that project is complete.
Side note: I prefer to have the optic always on, call me a fudd but I would rather have a always on and change the battery every 1-2 years instead of relying on a auto feature and I did not evaluate the auto off feature extensively.
In conclusion, buy this optic if you want to trust your life to a red dot.

excellent all around pistol red dot that is easy to pick up and extremely rugged. like all optics right now battery power is not as long as they say it will last so change the battery every 3 months to be safe.
