Most of todays optics take the 2032 battery. For some reason the Fast Fire takes the 1632. Sometimes hard to find. I have a Fast Fire III, 3 MOA in my squirrel pile. They are a solid sight. I'm assuming from your group size that yours is a 3 MOA also. Plenty good for pistol shooting.

I had the Burris on my Mini 30 and even with the 3 MOA dot it shot center mass at 200 yards on a man sized silhouette. I retired the Burris and have been running the 1 MOA Trijicons on the rifles.

Keep us filled in.

The Fast Fire also has the top load for the battery. A pain to get at. My RMR's have the bottom load that is a breeze. Only issue is removing the sight from the mount to access it.

The SRO I just got has the top load battery almost identical to the Fast Fire but worse because it is tucked under the hood. A real PITA.

Get the Energizer Lithium batteries if you can find them. Excellent life on them.

The only brand i could find was Durracell Lithium ...
I avoid Duracell batteries in the AA and AAA category because of leaks. I've had a number of pieces of equipment ruined by leaking Duracells.

You should probably be OK with the Duracell coin style battery. Might want to monitor.

now you and @Bepe have me concerned ... the last thing i need is more worry thoughts while i try to sleep ...
I was over the GF's house on Sunday. She was working on her digital camera with some white vinegar and a Q Tip. I took note and muttered only one word. Duracell????

She said yes. The camera was toast.

Change it every 4 mos. You will be fine
No scientific datat to back up my claim but I think the coin style batteries are a different animal. I've had the 2032 battery in the alarm fob of the Harley since 2005. I probably should change it out before I get stuck.:oops:
