    I got a few Burris fastfire 3s. Shot it on a pistol today and have one on an ar pistol. They can be found $150-200. Check academy. Oh make Sure there is a red dot in the box before you leave... ask me how I know!

    If you have an X-Five with a Romeo1, it has a Romeo1 footprint and won’t fit other optics. You will need an adapter plate for whatever optic you choose.

    IMO, the Fastfire series isn’t worth buying. From my experience it is one of the cheaper made optics. Vortex has a good warranty, but their MRDS are not much better than the Romeo1 that you’re sending back. The RomeoZero posted above won’t fit your slide either. It has the RMS-c footprint.

    The Holosun 407C and 507C are excellent optics for the price. Both will fit your slide with an adapter plate.

    If you want to spend more money, you can have the slide modified for a Delta Point Pro or use an adapter for a Trijicon SRO or RMR.

    I second the Burris FF3s, I have two on pistols. One on a Canik SFX with a couple thousand 9mm rounds thru it so far without a single issue.
