Its not the best choice for that application, but dudes have met Allah through that optic.

Disclosure: I am affiliated PRN with a tactical training center, but I speak only for myself. I have no idea what we sell, other than CLP and training. I receive no income from sale of hard goods.
When did Aimpoint have a price increase? Seems like all the Micro models on the new and used market are selling for at least $100 higher than it did a few years ago.
ETA: Just checked my notes and see that I paid $505 for an near new condition Aimpoint H2 with an ADM Low Mount on the EE back in 2017. I don’t think I’ve seen an H2 go for less than $600 lately. T1’s that used to sell for $500-550 with a LaRue Mount are now $600+. T2 is running near $700 from what I’m seeing on the EE.
Is this panic pricing or is that the norm now

Ever tried visiting an optometrist? I did a couple of years ago and had a pair of glasses made that corrected my astigmatism. It's not 100% but it was huge improvement for me. The dot is much cleaner now and the tail blob phenomenon is almost completely gone. Reading into it before I did it seems to indicate that ymmv depending how on your eyes.
With it primarily being used on either a home defense handgun or CCW, it would be interesting to see the “wireless” charging integrated like phones have come to have. A charging pad could either plug into a small bedside safe or just on the nightstand if kids aren’t present, and you don’t have to worry about batteries ever again.
I have a T1 on my main HD gun and a PRO on the back up..
Anyone have any experience with the ACO... The Aimpoint Carbine Optic? And I know a PRO is $40 bucks difference usually.
T2 with LEAP mount sits on the bedside “pistol”. It’s certainly the best RDS for me, but I must say the mushy brightness knob has me wishing I’d spent $50 more on the Comp M5 instead. At any rate, the dot is perfectly crisp, battery life is phenomenal, and I have no doubts about the durability of the optic. Peace of mind is worth the price jump from a budget optic, especially for a gun that doubles as my companion on long trips; I’d have less faith in a budget optic holding up in my trunk on a road trip, and the MRO (post 89k serial no.) was a comma to my eyes. The PRO was even worse with my astigmatism.
Coupled with a tough, lightweight RTZ mount (I refuse to call Scalarworks knob “quick detach” because it’s anything but quick) and I couldn’t ask for a better serious use optic. I have a hard time not thinking of the T2/M5 as the best RDS in the world. Competitors may match it or one-up it with FOV, battery life, price, etc, but they’ll never have the track record.
