I don't care for them, but some guys like them. My 535 ate them for breakfast.

I've had good luck with mine, but it doesn't  get alot of rounds to jar it.  Probably 10 shots dialing in and testing and 6 or 7 so far with dead turkeys the last two seasons.  So far, it's performed well.

I've shot a TruGlo red dot for about 5 years now using 3 1/2" loads and have had no problems.  I would say more than 6 boxes of shells total sighting in and dead turkeys.
