    FWIW, I built a 300 blackout pistol with a Sig Romeo 5 and LAW Tactical folding buffer adapter for just the type of situation you're describing. It fulfilled it's purpose a few weeks back when I carried it in a backpack in an otherwise impermissible (but not illegal) environment.

    I'm pretty sure the battery in the Romeo 5 will last years even if on constantly, so if it sees this type of use consistently, I'll just replace the battery annually.

    I'd love an optic that costs twice what I paid for the pistol, but I don't have a $10M life insurance policy either.

    I was thinking the same thing. 40,000 hours is a lot, and batteries are cheap.

    That Romeo looks good.

    If I pull the trigger on a RD, I have decided that I'll go with the Holosun HS510C. I have a Holosun on my pistol so that is part of the reason, plus the shake awake feature, adjustable dot brightness (not forced into auto adjust), 2 moa dot, battery location and battery life. I'll replace the battery once per year whether it's needed or not.

    I'm willing to trust Holosun to perform to my requirements.
