I think we have all spent 90 of various gear that turned out to shit the bed. This dot probably has the most promise of alot that gear. That $20 red/green t1 knock off has been burning up the web with it lasting and hold zero through alot of torture test! Of course there will be lots of brand snobs saying "if its not aimpoint its trash". Well not everyone has 500-700 for a dot to put on top of your $2000 AR. Sometimes a working fella needs something for his $400 garage gun that goes bang when he pulls the trigger. While I do sing the praises of PA and for $150 you can get a proven dot with advanced features sometimes I get guys need a sub $100 dot. Personally I would wait for more reviews to pop up if you dont have the $90 to spend on something that might not be what you need. But if you can quickly replace it should it not play out the way you hoped then I say give it a try.
