Can't beat Vortex warranty. They are the first company I shop with for all optics. In a similar price range, check out Holosun. If you email Covert Tactical, they have discount codes on most their Holosun dots.

I have both Holosun and Vortex optics And love both! Something to keep in mind however… where does the battery go? There are some Vortex models that require removing the sight to replace the battery. Since there are choices, I’d rather not have to remove it. Happy hunting, I mean shopping!!!

I have a Vortex Razor red dot I am selling. If you are interested I will list it in the classifieds. It was mounted on a Ruger 22 pistol. Full warranty for used as for new from Vortex.

I'm partial to the Holosun brand. They offer MANY different designs to choose from. Sig Sauer makes a decent dot sight too.
The Vortex uses a 3moa dot size while Holosun uses a 2moa dot size. Better for small targets,
For just a few dollars more, the Holosun is a LOT tougher sight ! DON'T DROP the Vortex sight, you'll be buying another ! You won't hurt the Holosun...at all !!
The Holosun sights have a longer battery life, plus, you don't...have to turn it off. It will turn off by itself, then turn back on when you pick up the gun.
And if you spend a little more...and get the solar panel version...even if the battery does die, as long as there is sun, the sight WILL work.

I have a couple of these, they work as designed, never had a problem with ANY of my Holosun sights. I kinda stumbled onto them a few years ago. And so far, have not found, an overall...better dot sight brand to choose from.
And yes, by the way, I DO have a Vortex Razor, but it's been on the shelf for a while now !

We are packing for a move so it will take me some time to find it. Once I have it retrieved I will post it in the classifieds and will send a message to you and the OP if they are interested.
EDIT
Found it. Will take more photos and post it in the classifieds tomorrow. Currently mounted on a Ruger SR22 pistol.

Actually, for the Leishy, this would be perfect. I just put this Holosun on my modified AirMaks, Caiman. I put the green dot on the Caiman.

Red or green dot, the model with no protective caps / windows, is cheaper.
Again, has the solar cells on the top for battery free usage, a very crisp dot shape, even with bad eyes..! Also, if you look in YouTube, this one's also been heavily torture tested, and came out the other end...with flying colors.
