Bumping this back up because the issue has returned after months of use. The illumination of the reticle flickers and goes out with just the drop of the hammer during dry firing. I can shake the optic and nothing happens but when I squeeze the trigger and the hammer strikes the firing pin, it flickers or goes out completely. I thought it was over tightening of the battery cap and made witness marks to prevent doing so. However, it has now started when tightened down to the marks I made.
I really don’t think I’m over tightening. If I loosen it up anymore, if anything, it’ll be under tightened and I don’t have confidence it would withstand heavy use and regular recoil. Nothing stands out as far as the battery compartment or contacts go, at least to me. And google searches have yielded no results with similar issues. I have filed another return after canceling my last one but now just wish I had gone through with it. Anyone got any insight as I wait to hear back from PA? Any help is appreciated.
