I have a Romeo 5 on a PSA 10.5 pistol and like it alot. It would be by most serious 'go to' gun if I knew I could rely on the RD being on when I needed it. That means not having to turn on any settings but be confident it's ready to go if and when things got serious. If I have to press and hold a button and adjust it's setting every time I need it on than it will just be a range toy and hog, coyote gun.
Do you leave yours on and trust it to go in sleep mode when not handled? As a full time truck gun, will riding in a stiff riding truck like an F-350 keep it on when not needed?
ETA- I left my RD on all weekend, only waking it from it's sleep mode to move it to the bedroom at night. I did take it shooting today but when I got settled down to shoot off the bench I saw the RD wasn't on. I held down the + elev. button to turn it on and nothing. I repeated this with both the + - buttons and still nothing. I thought 'This sucs, so much for a truck gun, HD optic'. I removed the battery cap and dialed the (new) battery slightly and held the + button down again and it came on.
I shot and left it on, came home and looked through it again and it was on but I am seriously disappointed. I'm going to be check it the next few days. It will probably work here at home but as soon as I drive an hour to the range to shoot, or worse, when I really need it, it will let me down.
I have about as much faith in a Chinese RD right now as I would some stripper girlfriend.
