    I've got an rmr that has had the same battery turned on for 3 years now.

    I've had a rear sight fall out of the dovetail and I didn't know until I took it off my waist at the end of the day, my first carry gun a g2c,. Then I had a factory glock rear sight be half way out before I found it while taking a mid day dump.

    So far in my 6 years of carrying, 3 years with a carry optic pistol I've had more sighting failures out of traditional sights than a quality red dot. I change my carry battery every Christmas.

    I'll put money on it that after a day at the range with a good optics instructor you'll be faster and more accurate with the dot than traditional sights. My irons are visible through the window in case Thor decided to hammer the glass out of it, but that's not going to happen.

    It's amazing how easy a red dot makes transitions and engaging multiple targets.

    Yeah...Taurus factory sights and the cheap polymer dovetail protectors that Glocks come with are not exactly my benchmark.

    I have been shooting handguns for over 30 years and am plenty fast and accurate. Congratulations on your apparent luck with today's pistol red dots, I've read plenty of experiences that seem to suggest otherwise. And I've got too many pistols to be replacing them all with new ones that support RDS, just to gain maybe a fraction of a second of speed in a fantasy John Wick scenario. Keeping it simple with the same sights is far more important to me. I'm certainly not going to stick an RDS on a P365, thus defeating the purpose of the weapon. If I'm adding bulk to a carry pistol, it's going to be in the capacity department.

    I think I saw Parabellum in Avon had a Hellcat on the rental wall. We added a Hellcat to the stable a few months ago and she's a keeper. Very impressed with it.

    I like my 365. I'm not driving tacks with it, but everything hits in a small enough area that it should serve well in an SD situation. Trigger guard + pocket works great and I just picked up a new holster so I don't have to be as particular about pocket sizing on my shorts.

    For a pocket pistol I used a 9mm S&W Shield before I switched to a Sig P365 with a 12 round magazine.
    The P365 is the same size and very close in weight, but with a with 12 round capacity.
