What red dot are you running on your shotgun?

I have an old Holosun 403. It's taking a pounding running buck & slugs. Didn't think it would hold up, but it's still going...
I have a Trijicon SRO on my Benelli SBE and a Holosun EPS carry on my Mossberg 940 Tactical. The Holosun on the 940 works well, but I would have preferred a SRO on the 940, but that would not work with the factory red dot footprint it came with. May have that fixed later on.
I put this really simple one on a SBEIII for my kid, and so far he's loving it.
Aim Point Shotgun Sight.
Not top tier, but built for a shotgun and it didn't break the bank. I had never even thought to do this till he requested it. I'm still marveling at how great fiber sights look in the blind 30 min before sunrise.

Vortex Crossfire. Not going to put a lot of money into an optic for a scatter gun. Even if the optic slips 5 MOA, that's only 2.5 inches at the effective range of the gun, and the scatter pattern will still strike the target. Round count will be low enough that this likely won't even occur, as I'm not running quadruple digit round counts through it each year.

Having recently learned of the existence of this item- https://fostech.com/product/origin-12-short-barrel-shotgun/ I am contemplating buying one and then I will have to put an optic appropriate to support the Warhammer 40k theme since that shotgun looks like a Space Marine bolter. It is just one of those things that "has to be done."
Heading from the rear, Limbsaver "Nitro" recoil pad on stock (biggest pad they make), "No Kick" shock absorbing buffer tube, connected to Mesa Tactical adapter with "Fab Defense" grip underneath, Fab Defense forearm and angled grip (bending my 75yr old wrists get harder and harder so they cut down on the angle when I grip the gun).
Gun came w/Scattergun Tech rear ghost ring and rifle sight up front, and the Mesa Tactical full length rail in between was added later (which also blocks heat).
After I finished the build, I decided to show it to my Daughter, and call it the first thing that came out of her mouth, she said it looked like a lizard, so I called it "Reptile".
Eotech XPS3-0 on a FFT rail. Benelli M4 Entry 14”. I had a Sync mount with an RMR but frankly it was too low.
Burris Fastfire 4, its mounted most of the year on a Rem 870 18" for home defense. But I'll swap it onto a 1100 for turkey hunting a couple of weeks out of the year too, It has a 3/11 MOA dot/circle reticle that is cool for quick target shooting.

I'll be running an Aimpoint Acro P2 once I get my Beretta 1301
