terrible little optic

This optic seems like it would be great--at first. But then you realize the shake-awake keeps the dot on for 11 hours! So if you use this for your EDC the battery dies in a few weeks. Even my $60 crimson trace pistol sight battery lasted for--actually its still works and I cant remember when I put it on my gun. Skip this one and go with the holosun. Wait till they update the shake awake. Just my opinion....
