Does anyone know of any reviews showing the optic taking a beating? I saw the arfcom video recently posted but can't find anything new. It looks sharp and tough. I like the 2032 battery. Anyone have any input on how tough these things are? |

Second outing (yesterday ) it just died after the 4th mag. I maybe have 200 rounds on it. |

I have the new enclosed Defender full size and a CCW. I only have a few mags through the CCW, but so far it's working perfectly. I have a couple hundred rounds through the full size on my Glock 17 with no issues. I also have the full size defender enclosed on my duty gun for work. It has about 1000 rounds on it. I have had 2 ballistic shield training days with it where I abused the shit out if it by hitting it on the shield, my holster, and my boot to rack the gun during 1 handed malfunction drills. No issues and it has retained zero. |
