Question for those who carry a pistol with a slide mounted red dot. It’s still a matter of when, not if, they’re going to break. What redundancies do you have in place? Do you have multiple guns set up and ready to go? A spare optic to mount when the primary breaks?
I’m waiting for my first slide to come back with an RMR type 2. I haven’t decided what my back up plan is. If my RMR goes down at the range, I have other guns to finish out the day. If my number comes up and I have to use my gun for real, AND I’m unlucky enough that it breaks then, well it has BUIS and I carry a back up revolver in the pocket.
As long as the world hasn’t gone completely tango uniform, at this point I’m leaning towards just running the one gun, if the optic breaks, I’ll amazon prime a new one and send the busted one in for repair. I’m a bit of a minimalist and don’t like having a bunch of guns around that don’t get used, so I’d rather not tie up another $1500 in a contingency plan.
What’s everyone else’s approach?
