I'm working with one agency that will issue RDS equipped guns for the Officers who want one and another I closely work with does the same. In both cases the majority of cops went with the RDS. Earlier this month we held a region wide Instructor Symposium for firearms trainers. All but one used RDS equipped guns. The single biggest issue I've seen is poor mounting. Mount them correctly and they are fairly trouble free. Are they as reliable as metallic sights, no. But they are excellent in low light and at extended ranges.


I had a 509T short out this year.

But I've had two or three rear sights drift in the dovetail, lost a couple front sights, and had the rear sight on one of my PDPs break essentially in half (although it is plastic). I don't see optics as less reliable than irons.
