Here's the short list:

-Parallax, they have it.
-The objective is about as unprotected as as you can get. A firm enough nudge to it and zero shifts
-The dot is visible from the other side of the glass from some angles (IIRC)
-The battery life is poor
-You have to remove the optic to replace the battery, and then rezero
-The diodes burn out

Otherwise they're perfectly fine sights. Supposedly very fast, and I doubt you'll find a 'real' red-dot with a better FOV. It boils down to if you can get it for $150 it might be worth it for the cool factor, but it's not a SHTF or a serious defensive optic, not anymore.

I have one on a SBR and love it due to the low profile and very sharp dot (sharpest of any optic I have including a T1 - I have an astigmatism)

You do not have to remove the optic to replace the battery

I have only changed the battery once in over 10 years and not due to failure, but just felt it was time

I have one of the older plastic models and would not argue that it was "battle hardened".  I do not treat my rifles rough and it has never lost zero

While I would not put it in the same class as a T1, I do think they are overlooked as a nice optic

I have one of the metal versions on my 9mm SBR. It's been a great optic and I have never understand all the dislike of them. It has to be one of the quickest and easy to use sights I own.

What I'd read on them was that the optic had to be removed from its mount to change the battery.

Unprotected

Zero shift

Short battery life

Mst re zero when changing the battery

Short battery life

Yes. . . I SEE . . . What's not to like?

okay, now I'm confused. Isn't the battery compartment cover that panel between the diode and the objective platform, accessed from the top?

Guessing it varies by model, they make several. While I have no experience with their optics I was less then thrilled by their customer service on the phone after trying to find out info on a C-More product I bought by mistake after being misled by the seller.
