Broke far too soon - Viridian Weapon Technologies RFX45 1x15.5-24mm Green Dot Sight

I will admit that I purchased this optic from a different supplier than OpticsPlanet, and it was late Nov 2023. Things may have changed in production, I may have had an unfortunate and unlikely failed model, etc. However, my RFX45 failed mere months into ownership. I did not abuse the optic by any means; my guns are largely safe queens besides range visits. I had this mounted on an FN 509, and I'm not sure if put even 1000 rounds through it with the optic on before it just stopped working. I tried replacing the battery (of course), tried pressing every single button on the thing, and even tried putting a piece of cloth in the battery compartment above the battery to trycand compress it down (I was grasping at straws). I really hoped this would be a decent budget ACRO style optic, but if 1000 rounds or so is all it can take, that's not worth the price imo.

Only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is because i admittedly did not even bother trying to go through customer service. They might've promptly replaced it with an optic that would work, they might've dragged their feet and replaced it with an optic that did the same thing, they might've not replaced it at all. Without knowing, I can't give a lower rating.
