I was really leanin toward tha Vortex Defender CCW, but, with some hesitation, I pulled tha trigger ontha MidwayUSA Fastfire C deal. (I'm'a cheapskate, and, if I'd been able to find'a deal on'a Defender, that wouldabeen that...) I'd heard reports of inadvertent button activation, and I even corresponded w/your Cust Serv, to see what they had to say. They said this issue only occurred with certain gun/light combos, which I found ali'l suspect. And, they said the "solution" was to raise the button shroud height on later specimens (Will mine be a "later specimen"? Or, is that WHY I got a "deal"?), which kinda helps, but doesn't address the root cause, which seems to be that the button is too easily activated, and, if you havit set on "auto", tha next click is OFF, which'd leavu in'a pickle, in'a defensive encounter! My intended purpose is to mount on'a 940 Pro, so the button issue's less likely to be an issue, in that scenario, but I'd like to have confidence that I can put this dot on any gun, without worryin about any design flaws rearin their ugly heads. My FF-C should arrive 2morrow. I'll keep u (And evry1 else!) posted...
Seen complaints of inadvertent pwr sw activation (Like, even from weapon bein laid onits side!), enuff to knowit waza thing. Msg'd Burris, n they tried to sayit was only certain gun/light combos, which don't hold water. They said they'd raised switch shroud, in later models, which will help, butit seems like an incomplete "solution", azit seems pretty clear tha switch it too easily activated. FYI, tha next click down, from "auto" is OFF. Fastfire C seemed like an attractive low-cost option, but, this issue's a deal-breaker for me! My intended purpose for this dot, was my Mossberg 940, which would likely not suffer from inadvertent activation. But! Who knows where I might wanna mountit, intha future. The Holo 407K's tha 1 to beat, at this price point, and it doesn't have this issue...
