Depending upon application, that could be quite a long time. I am tempted to buy one to put on my Ruger PC-9. The shake awake feature means that it can sit at the ready without the light on, then when I pick it up, it's ready.

Battery was packaged separately, different than what some folks have complained about (already installed, and dead). Very nice RDS, just gotta decide what to put it on now. P.S. One word of advice... Do NOT install the included scope cover if you haven't already mounted the light to your gun! The instructions say absolutely nothing about the proper use of the cover, but it is practically impossible to remove from the RDS if not attached to your gun.

Of course I'm NOT speaking from personal experience.... That must be true for all of them. I did the same thing when I got my Burris FF3. I called Burris to see if there was a trick to removing it but I was told I would just have to jam something up in there to pry it loose.

I finally flipped it upside down and used the rubber-cushioned handle of some channel locks to push the sight (using a LOT of effort) out of the cover. I'll probably never install that cover again, whether or not the sight is mounted on a gun.

Use the included picatinny adapter and buy a short pic rail such as the Weig-A-Tinny Mini mount 2. Forget the included picatinny adapter and buy a dedicated mount such as the Allchin Mini STS mount I have both an Allchin and a full-length Weig-A-Tinny on other revolvers and both seem to be well-made, solid mounts. While the Allchin would result in a cleaner look, the Weigand is more versatile (and cheaper). One more question: If choosing the Allchin, which would look better; stainless (if mounting on a stainless gun) or black, which would blend with the Sightron and would thus look "right" on either a stainless or a blued gun?

One for a turkey shotgun, not sure about the other. I was lucky enough to get a couple of 2 MOAs from the Midway second shipment. One will go on a Ruger MK II with a Volquerson upper, and again, one extra. Thanks to SU35 there! Thanks Doug and gents for the heads up! Mucho appreciated.
