Had someone else give me a battery and same result. The last time it turned on was the last time it turned on. Luckily having irons I didn't have to turn around and spend another hour and half driving home for nothing.

    That’s crazy. I’m not at all an Aimpoint fan after having both a T1 and T2 but that’s more because of the amount of money for what you get. I haven’t heard many issues of them failing. I have broken a Razor 1-6 but between an RMR, a few Holsouns, several Vortex Crossfires and Sparc Solars, a P4Xi, a second 1-6 Razor, two 1-10 Razors, and a few different Eotechs, I haven’t had any other optics issues.

    I’ve had way more problems with uppers (KAC, Geissele, and Noveske) now that I think about it.

    Spuhr SP-4024/3024 combined with A-0055 plates.

    Thanks. That would definitely make my gun heavier, but my wallet lighter.... seems like an even trade off right?

    Do you find the ACRO on top of the already taller scope mount too high? I've only tried 1.5ish height mounts with the 12 o'clock RDS and I'm not sure I'd want to go any higher than that.

    It's definitely a chinweld, but to me, the primary use of it is to make my LPVO guns NODs capable without having to get a laser right away, and in that use case, it works fine. I've used the RMR in that same position before (like the RMRs, the P-1s were put on because I had replaced them on my P30LSes), and it was quite serviceable, even if it wasn't ideal.

    I have folding BUIS’s on all but one gun, scopes are in LaRue and ADM QD mounts, red dot on one gun is in an ADM QD mount. The other gun has Daniel Defense fixed sights and a Sig Romeo 5 in a DD rock and lock mount, I can shoot the irons through the red dot if needed.

    Am I gonna rip a scope off and default to irons in an emergency? Probably not but I do remove optics and shoot irons now and then just because. I also have a zeroed 1-4 in an ADM mount to go on my H2 sighted gun if I choose too. I tried the offset red dot and just didn’t like it.

    QD mounts are a good thing.
