Well, now you have the chance to get it zeroed and try it out!
Heres a good video for how to zero a MRDS for anyone that needs a good video. Aaron Cowen is extremely knowledgeable:

Being a young 83 with slightly weaker eyesight I am unable to attain sharp focus on the front sight without corrective glasses. Then, with sharp focus on the sight the target is fuzzy. I discovered the red dot system and immediately purchased a SIG 320 with the Romeo Red Dot. WOW! What a difference. Running a shoot/move/reload/timed type course at various distances my score jumped from 75% to 95% hits in the kill zone. You BYA that I’m a believer in Red Dot sights. Not as fast getting on target as Lazer sighting, but no tell tale beam pointing to the source either. And, a draw and hit in under 2 seconds ain’t all that bad.

I am really, really happy reading your post @GREG12. A draw and hit in under 2 seconds is not bad at all!

Thinking of milling G19gen5 for RMR. Just wondering if I need to pay for suppressor height sights. Given advances in battery life and reliability, isn’t the RMR enough I could just change the battery annually like my smoke alarms. (FYI it is for EDC/home)
I’d say go for the suppressor height sights. Yes the battery life’s great and they’re very reliable, particularly the rmr, but I’m just one of those guys who says better safe than sorry. There’s so many things that could possibly render the dot unusable from fogging up to getting dirty while be carried or just a flat out failure. All it takes is one little piece of lint to land in the right spot in the emitter and there’s no dot when you draw and present…
Get suppressor height sights. It is unwise to not have BUIS with a device that runs on electronics.
Also, I just get all backed out BUIS for the MRDS. I dont want a bunch of dots and different colors drowning the dot out.
