ATEI in Downriver Detroit has a very good reputation around here. They started off doing prototype machined intake manifolds for the car companies IIRC and then branched out. I think it's a major source of their business now. https://ateiguns.com/
I have two of these on order and can't wait to get them mounted up and rolling. That reticle is a game-changer IMO.....

I’ve spent a career gunning irons so this will take a bit to get used to.
I just made my second trip to the range with a Holosun 507K X2 on my Sig P365 XL, and I feel the same way! I find the whole thing rather distracting, especially the circle dot reticle on this sight which covers up a lot of a small target at distance. But then, when I go to the dot only, I have a harder time picking it up, and then I find myself chasing it around on the target instead of shooting the darn thing. I don't know how much ammo I am willing to allocate to this experiment.

I just got a Canik TP9FSx and want to try an optic on top. It comes with plates for the popular styles. To keep the cost down I want to use Cabela's points up. Unfortunately their selection SUCKS these days. On the lower end the choice is between the Vortex Venom or Viper. Main difference is 3 vs. 6 moa dot. Both can be had for $250 and they have a good warranty. Stepping up double the cost, they do have the RMR. The Holosun 507C is not available, nor is the Leupold or Burris. Until I know I like them I'm not ready to spend $500 on the optic so I guess it will be one of the Vortex. I'll just be banging steel and shooting informal targets for now. Rest of the time is will be a house gun with a light on it. I'm leaning to the 6MOA due to research saying it is easier to pickup and so forth. I won't be head shooting squirrels with this rig so which one would you go with?
Resale on RMRs is pretty good. I don't know about the Vortex dots in comparison. It may be that the RMR is less of a risk financially, I would look into that first.
