Fragile build - lower quality than dots half the price. warranty process is atrocious - Canik Mecanik M03 1x29mm Competition Reflex Red Dot Sight

Initially it seems like a budget RSO. Big window and dot, but a little fragile - less robust than optics half the price. Ran great the first time used, but then developed an electrical short the first week. Here is where it goes from "Maybe I got a bad one" to Canik customer service is so bad, I am selling my Canik pistols so I don't have the possibility of needing to warranty them in the future.
Each step in their process takes weeks and it takes multiple phone calls to get to keep the process moving to the next. Their response is consistently aggressively defensive and the timeline is skewed. The process to return the sight for warranty took a month. 2 weeks later I called to check on it. There response was "We just received it a week ago we have not processed it in yet." When you attempt to explain that its been 2 months since the process started - they become more defensive than a California DMV worker. Then I am told it will be another 8 weeks. So I Bought it and filed warranty claim in July. It's October and their eta is December. Had to buy a different optic while waiting the 5 months for this one. Could have used the money to buy a Holosun or any other quality optic for $75 more to begin with.
