I've been beating on my EXPS3-0 for several years and have not had a single issue. I prefer the reticle on the EoTech over a simple red dot but love Aimpoints as well. Glad you came out of the situation safe but hate to hear of a failure at the worst possible time.
Glock 43 with Taran Tactical +1 for 8 rounds of Winchester PDX1 124grain +P that rides in a GearCraft IWB holster. This is my year round setup and I carry everyday all day.
Been wanting to get my hands on one and hopefully it won't be too much longer before I can get to do that. I love my P-07 but I'm anxious to see how they build a striker fired one!
Vortex makes really nice glass for the money. I have the PST and the Strike Eagle and both are great! If you want more power then save a few more dollars and get the Viper 2.5-10x44 which would be great for you.
I had a IC-SPR and wasn't impressed with it. Shot really smooth but the BCG had some twist and the cam pin gouged the upper receiver. I prefer DI rifles but I can say my Sig 716 hasn't given me any issues. I might like to try their DI model rifle.
I run the Wilson Combat sights on my 19 and love them. I've tried many different brands and types but for me a small night sight dot up front with a black u notch rear works best. I don't try to be super accurate but I try to be fast so that's what works for me.
