Spend the $20 on a lens protector and protect your "investment", I've seen guys get a brand new optic and say they don't need a protector since the chance of getting shot in the lens is really low... only to have it shot out 15 minutes later.
The optic you have linked, commonly gets its lens shot out, even with the flip up protector, since bb's can come from behind you as well.
Just pick an optic that's compatible with a kill flash or screw on lens protector so you don't have to get a flip-up protector, looks nice and slick and your lens is protected.
