My first DPP had the motion sensor quit between 8-9000 rounds.
I think the next one is going at under 3000. Had three occasions over the weekend when the optic was off unexpectedly. I thought I noticed a similar pattern with the first one for a little while before the first ones motion sensor failed completely.
Welcome to Africa, bring a hardhat.
While it might be OK to use for practice, based on experience, I would not rely on this one Pro for competition, as the unit is “fixin to fail.”
There are two main issues with the Pro, a motion detector design that fails, and a propensity of the “+” that locates the battery, migrating such that the contact with the battery becomes intermittent, and then when it moves enough, hard fails. I am expecting something very soon that addresses both issues.
Here is a picture of the “+” showing very slight migration. We have started “pre-flighting” our Pros, checking to see that the + is in the proper position.

Just back from the range, and on “post flight,” this is what I found.

I broke another Pro today at a match. While that was the bad news, the good news this was not the new “ruggedized” prototype that is on the brown truck today, it was just a Steel Challenge match so it only wrecked one string, and the failure was the “standard” where the + slips down.
I am hoping the prototype with the changes, which are a new motion detector and the + mounted differently, fix the reliability issues with the Pro.

You and 3/4 folks shooting carry optics.
The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.
Humbly improving with CZ's.
Someone I know showed up at our last USPSA match with a new 320 X5 and a Romeo 1, announcing his plan to shoot it “hard” in CO this year. I asked how many slides and optics he had, and he replied “just one” with a puzzled look. I just laughed.
