OK, light it is.

I was looking at LPVOs but then I thought wait, is magnification useful at all for self-defense? As far as I can tell, the "1x" on most variable scopes is either something like 1.3 or has a distorted fisheye effect. A 1x fixed scope should behave more like a red dot, having a nice big "eye box" and low distortion.

I recall as a kid shooting a 22LR rifle with a scope on it at a range, and it actually wasn't easy at all to hit the bullseye at just 25m. The magnification just made it more obvious that my hands weren't steady lol.
