I am interested in strapping something to my FN 509 but I don't have much of any experience with pistol optics. I was looking at the Vortex Venom 3 and the Holosun handgun red dot as my early favorites.

I run a Holosun 510C on my Bren and I love the dang thing, but I also like my Trijicon MRO. The price on the Trijicon RMR did give me pause but I haven't totally ruled it out and I know some people love the Burris Fastfire 3. The main thing with me for this optic is reliability and ease of use. I'm looking to make the 509 my defense gun and I don't want to be fiddling with buttons or worried about the battery or trying to get the optic to be bright enough. I want to be able to pick it up and shoot it.

Any suggestions or personal experiences good or bad with pistol optics?
