Maybe it has to be in all caps.

Day-um! Wish I had something to put it on.

MSRP on Crimson Trace’s web page is $179.99, less than PSA’s $229.99 normal price.

For $69, I will give it a shot. Not a fan of the battery being under the unit. I am planning to use it for a project: Using a 320 grip, I am going to try to build a dummy practice gun to develop proper red dot presentation habits.

Don’t quote me, and for 69 bucks how can you really go wrong, but I seem to remember these getting panned pretty bad for some reason or another. I may be misremembering but I thought there was something wrong with these.

But like I said for 69 bucks you almost come out on top even if it only works as a GIANT ghost ring

I had one on my 365 for a year until I decided I liked the dot and went for a better one. Think I paid 135 and there was nothing wrong with it, just wanted a better one. I carried it at work, bashed it occasionally on door jambs (oops) and it never malfunctioned or shifted its POA. It still resides on a 22 for practice.

I think the issue was the bottom was sealed with electrical tape so if it sees rain, it will eventually short out?

Edit the all caps subject line, please.

Received mine yesterday. Its... all plastic!
And the bottom mounted battery is a press fit with no cover. No manual brightness or shutoff switches provided. To shut it down, you have to snap on a cover. Lots of mounting tools and the required screws included. 50K Hour battery life claimed. Nice bright dot. Very small footprint. My plan was to mount this to a plastic training (or 320 frame) gun and use it as a training tool for quickly presenting and locating the dot in an optic sighted pistol. It will work for that, provided I can find some teeny tiny wood screws that will bite into my plastic trainer gun slide. So thats $69 bucks worth, I guess.

Crimson Trace largely makes and/or imports cheaply made junk. Maybe they've got some decent products or the guys that bought a set of grips that didn't die or loose zero will chime in, but there is a reason PSA is dumping these things this cheap.

CheckEd the link now down to $59.
