Same guy! I was just coming to post that!

Ordered one as well… and yes, the site sucks. No direct link to payment, you need to scan the bar code!?!?
My SRO tool arrived today. It’s a quality part and shipping was fast. But being the tinkerer that I am, I made 2 small mods.
I guess due to the manufacturing process, the entire thing has a rough pebble grain finish, including the mating surface. I smoother the mating surface with my Dremel and a scotchbrite wheel.
I also drew some hash marks to make it easier to line up with the battery cap slots.

I added the same hash marks on the top side of the tool!
I'm contemplating buying SROs for CCW and range use on Glocks. My only hesitation is the SRO's glare and double dot issues.
Is there any lens treatment that helps reduce the problems with a low sun angle? (Without resorting to tape or sunshades, as discussed in this thread http://glare and double dot issues )
Are any of the SRO models more/less susceptible to glare and double dot issues? For example, is the 5 MOA version less problematic than the 1 MOA version?
There’s not anything out there that’s a perfect solution. @JCN made a cover for his with one of those stone bridgegunworks covers.
But even with the front taped you can still get a double dot as I discovered

It’s just a trade off I take for the best reliability on the market. Hwansik said his main SRo is 180,000 rounds now without an issue.
As @JCS said, there's no perfect optic. The SRO, Acro, and 509t2 all seem to be durable enough for high round counts. Because of its window size, the SRO is my preferred competition optic, despite its crappy glass and double-dot issue. For carry, I wouldn't choose one.
