Edge of my and re RDS. Happy to defer to those with more experience as I only have about 3K max in pistol RDS.
That DNA catching front might give someone a bit of pause when vigorously "chopped" when clearing or otherwise manipulating the weapon.

Personally, I don’t like using the optic as my primary means to manipulate the slide. In particular chopping the front of the optic, like that can induce malfunctions by blocking the ejection path.Originally Posted by vcdgrips
That portion is also the polymer impact guard rather than metal. For me it would primarily be for chafing the slide off objects when I don’t have another hand available to manipulate the slide.
You’d think in this day and age, they’d have better battery life.
It’s not 2017.
I don’t think much R&D effort is being put into disposable battery chemistry advancements. It’s all rechargeables.

Last time I was paying attention, the Naval Research Lab (NRL) had a substantial research program on batteries, including non-rechargeable.

I'm far from an expert on the optics market. But my observation is that Holosun, no matter where they are made, has all but spanked everyone. I know the ACRO is a great optic - considered top notch by people I respect. Aimpoint and Trijicon may have some institutional buyers. But like others have mentioned, they may start loosing those contracts to Holosun. They might regret sticking with focus on only that market.
This Vortex looks like an OK option... but it *seems* like they designed it 5 years ago and just now released it. And I have some Vortex scopes that are the best optics I've ever used.

To be fair, I think I would pick this over the Holosun 407/507 K. The polymer shock absorber is interesting. I'm skeptical that the aggressive texture on the front is something I would actually want as it looks like a possible torn up support hand when manipulating the slide. You almost had me Vortex, but the Holosun EPS now exists and I can't go back to a CCW optic that I can't easily clean the window of lint. An enclosed emitter for concealed carry is a quality-of-life upgrade that can't be reverted.
