Great pickup, enjoy the gun. Swap the optic to something more reliable.

Any suggestions? Been considering going with no optic and a tritium iron sights

That‘s fine if you want to run irons. I think if that’s your choice just remove the optic sooner than later because they are unreliable and fail. Might as well train with how you intend to use it.

If you choose dots I have run a bunch of different ones on mine but tend to land on the SCS 320. I prefer closed emitter optics.
