Last stupid question, do you have the smooth + side facing out (toward the cap) and the cap tightened all the way?

It does nothing with no battery in it. And yes I had the battery in correctly. Vortex is sending me a new optic. I hope it works this time.

I just bought a Holosun for my last optic-cut pistol, but I have a couple of slides I may get milled for dots. I'm still trying to decide which cut to use.

Can't go wrong with an RMR or DPP cut. They make adapter plates that you can use to go either DPP to RMR or RMR to DPP.  I have the Defender ST enclosed and put a little over 1k rounds through it so far. I know it's not much but it's still working. I think Aaron from Sage Dynamic tested it out a bit and didn't have anything bad to say about it.

I just put a CCW model on my VP9A1K. It has very nice glass. The viewing window is as large as the Aimpoint COA.

I need to put 1000 rounds through the set up before I post a formal review in the HK section. Give me a month or so.
