Sage Dynamics recently completed a 4 year study on slide mounted red dot sights. The whole report is available as a PDF download from this site. https://www.sagedynamics.org
I have not read it in it's entirety but one result I found interesting is some brands of batteries failed a lot more that others. From the article
Maybe something to keep in mind.
When I find some spare time, I plan on reading the entire PDF.
The writer of the study can be heard in the first part of this podcast.

Interestingly, this handgun red dot study also found Energizer and Sony batteries cannot reliably withstand the handguns’ recoil, but Duracell’s batteries held up to a handgun’s recoil.
