Yeah I remember the first drop that we ever did a RMA on. Dude had one on a competition gun and was running a stage that required you to shoot steel with primary hand only, then switch hands and shoot left hand only after moving from point A to point B. He tried to do the hand switch while on the run and sort of flung the gun sideways, earning a DQ for the day as everyone cringed and dove for cover. Landed on concrete, like a cinder block material. Cracked glass, boom done. As the kids would say, YEET! Anyway, he got a new optic. The good news is, our return rates are really small, small enough that I can actually remember and recount individual stories like this on why guys had to send scopes back to us.
It was one of our first generation pistol dots, the Kingslayer which is made of 6061. The new ones are 7075 and will all have the optional "Ironsides" stainless steel add-on available for them to help out with "whoops" situations like that. We came a long way in just one year between the Kingslayer and the newer generation of dots.
