I can't see how it makes any sense to spend $400 on this thing, even if you're only dot-curious and want to try out the RDS concept. You're going to instantly see the advantages of a dot while also instantly seeing the disadvantages of this particular design. And then you're gonna feel like you just wasted $400 because you either don't like shooting with a dot (quite possibly because you experimented with a shitty design) or you realize you actually need a traditional RDS design.
And yes, I realize how much it costs to experiment the other way: buying the RDS, plus needing a pistol that is set up for it or milling a slide, but damn, this just doesn't seem like a good alternative to me.
