Thinking of one of the Burris Fast Fire optics for a 9mm AR. Anyone have trigger time with one of these?
Do they last?

There is nothing wrong with this sight.  I've got one in a LaRue Irondot housing,
and it's small, lightweight, and easy to use "both eyes open". It has a real glass lens,
not plastic like others have. It has an On/Off switch that most others lack.

But, admittedly, there are two drawbacks:

- battery replacement: You need to unscrew the whole sight from it's mount in order to do so. It doesn't pose a problem with zero upon remount, though so who cares.

- The way the sight is screwed to the mount means the electronics probably are not waterproof....

I believe they're about $165.00 at www.Natchezss.com ....

How do you like the IronDot?  I've thought about putting one on a superlite carbine I have, I think it might be the perfect setup.

It might not be waterproof (submersible), but it's definately weatherproof. I used mine in a practical rifle match here in Oregon in the pouring rain with no issues.

I'd wager you are correct. I just haven't had to find out.

Does it come with something to mount to eiter a dovetail or milspec rail?

And more importantly... can it take the recoil from a .50 Desert eagle?

If you buy a Fastfire it comes with a Picatinny/Weaver rail mount.

Not sure if it'll handle .50 AE recoil.

Good Luck!
