mine was in the plastic package brand new and will sometimes shut off after the rifle shoots. only certain positions on the rheostat from 0-11 will stay on after the rifle fires (not a huge deal but worth mentioning) for mine level 8 works good. also it IS kind of big but I purposely bought the 42mm because I like my field of view wide its about the size of a half dollar or a bit bigger.on my beretta 9mm carbine storm it will hit a popcan at 80 yards no problem, so I cant rate this thing too low because it does what it's suppose to do, but the whole rheostat switch turning off after firing in certain brightness settings from the gun kick kinda sucks
