Glad to see that this model shuts down after 10 minutes of inactivity. I have the Defender CCW and it is a decent optic but its shutdown time is 14 hrs! So if you used it for its intended purpose CCW for 8 hours a day it would effectively turn off for 2 hours each day, which is crazy. This is why mine sits on top of a range gun that comes out of the safe once a blue moon.
Totally tangent thought, but does anyone know why the smallest dot many manufacturers employ is 3 moa. Is it cost, technology, international convention, because most boomers can’t see a 2 moa dot? I actually find 3 moa a hair too big, but outside of Holosun and the DPP not many optics come smaller than 3 moa.
