Yeah, cause set screws never let loose on mini red dots, triggers, or anything else right? To each his own, but you should not have "full confidence" in it, because it uses a method know to have a high failure rate. It's OK, I felt the same way till my set screw devices failed me for the first time. We all learn in our own time.
OP, it's hard to beat the MBUS Pro.

Update:
DON'T BUY THE LO-RIDER.
Went to tweak a few other things on my setup. Afterwards, while admiring how pretty my gun looked without a foregrip, I noticed that the set screw is missing. Gone. Disappeared. Completely vanished.
Now, I never touched the set screw. The sight was accurate for windage as it came out of the box. Everything on this sight was as-is from the factory. I don't think it's even had 1,000 rounds on the gun since I put the sight on.
Really, I'm quite disappointed. I do like this rear sight, as it's extremely minimal and clean and stays entirely out of the way as I think a
back up sight should. But, now the windage has nothing holding it in place. And even though I can't quite turn it with my bare fingers due to just how small it is and the lower third of the screw being shrouded, it's not something I'm willing to bet on.
DevL, you were entirely correct. I retract all previous statements about trusting in set screws.
