Hi-Lux TD-3C Red Dot Sight

This is not a place for discussion about RDS vs iron sights. My 67 year old eyes already made the decision for me.

I found this RDS intriguing.

TD-3 Open Reflex Red Dot Sight

The Hi-Lux TD-3 is an open reflex sight intended for optics ready pistol slides and other weapon systems for quick target acquisition. The reinforced electronic housing can withstand even the heaviest recoiling calibers. Machined from 7075-T6 Aluminum, the lightweight yet durable TD-3 red dots...

One reason is: Hi-Lux gives a healthy veteran’s discount.

Does anyone here have experience with this particular red dot?

Thanks in advance.

So…. I bought one of these. Mounted it up on my P80 CL and just got back from the range.
50,000 hrs battery life but mainly because it shuts completely off after 4 hours of no use. Not crazy about that and I change my batteries once a year anyway.
It literally took less than a 10 shots to sight in at 20 yards.
When I moved to 7 yards, the dot was about an inch low. Perfect!
The adjustment "turrets"/screws have positive clicks/detents and are consistent on how the sight moves the bullet on the target.
Great discount for veterans too.

That looks a aweful lot like a Holosun 507C to me, right down the the battery tray, mounting pattern, windage and elevation adjustments and even the steps in the aluminum where the emitter is set.
