Great optic. I was going to get an LPV per my prior thread. I'm not sure that wasn't the right play, honestly, but I'll end up with one on my next AR anyway, so I think my basic reasoning is still sound. My thought was since this is currently my only AR-15, and in a pinch it might need to be pressed into service for home defense, I wanted the ability to have a close range optic and still co-witness my sights, while still shooting at longer distances at the range. I've read folks saying they can get reliable hits out to 200-300 yards with an unmagnified PRO. They can. I can't. My eyes are too old. So a scope at those distances would serve me better, and that's why I think my next AR will get an LPV.
But really, that's not what it's for, is it? The only thing I've used it for since getting it on Friday is sighting in at 50 yards. For close range stuff, I'm sure it's perfect, so I'm not bagging on the optic at all. It has a very clear field of view and the dot works very well in terms of giving you a clear presentation. I've read stories of the durability of this optic, and I can't comment because mine is new, but it feels solid. I did not have the problem some folks report of the mount "shooting loose." All in all, I'm happy with my choice.
