It’s a nice dot which marries up to my slide cut (Canik MC9LS) nicely creating clean lines with now over hang which could lead to snags. The slide lags a good place for me to hold when racking without getting pinched by the ejection port so I have been using the optic to rack and it is rigid enough to allow for that. Lastly, I absolutely love the shake awake and wish all optics came with this feature because when it’s time to go, you aren’t going to have time to turn it on. Down range, we would turn on our gear before rolling out but would often forget to turn them off when we got back and the batteries were always dead but this allows me to not have to think about it as it turns on when you grab it and goes off when not in use thereby preventing a dead battery when it’s go time
