My truck was recently broken into and since then I have bought a Springfield Saint SBR for my quick response gun. I have it locked under the bed in a Hornady lay flat safe that I really like. my question to the green screen is what do you guys use for your optics on a personnel defense style gun. I am tempted to put some trijicon lighted apertures on my iron sites and call it done. My fear is that if I put a battery powered optic on it that I will either fumble with the switch or the battery will be dead when I need it. I have considered some of the dual illumination optics like an ACOG, but man they are proud of them. I wanted to ask the brain trust

Many red dot optics have a 50,000 hour battery life and are activated by motion.
I have a couple of dual source RMR sights on my hunting pistols and like them a lot.
If you set up a red dot/reflex type sight system you can co witness with your iron sights in event of a failure of the optic.

Hard to go wrong with an Aimpoint Micro series, I have a T1 that's been going strong for close to 10 years and it's been ran hard.
Not to say modern quality optics can't fail but they very, very rarely fail.
I have also heard very good things about the Trijicon MRO.
Get a good, high quality, Made in USA optic, replace the batteries every year on your birthday or a holiday and you can't go wrong.
The military treats their Aimpoints WAY worse than any of us will, so don't worry about them failing.
