Vortex venom

Trijicon RMR

I like the deltapoint has a bigger field of view but itt mounts where you can’t co witness on most guns. RMR is tried and true. The dim controls are much better on an RMR as well.

only 2 options imo. Trijicon is more rugged, but the deltapoint has a very big window.


RMRs on all my pistols fwiw

Trijicon rm06 is the only answer. There’s also options to have your slide milled to accept different optics with adapter plates. (Unity tactical and agency arms)

not as rugged, small window, electrical issues.

the razor red dot is a big step up from the venom. ill sell you one for almost a Venom price if you want it. got a spare.

I’ve got one of my slides milled to accept atom plates and I’ve been really pleased with it.

I looked through a venom and it felt like it was not clear...kinda rounded around edges like I was looking through a coke bottle or something...can't describe it exactly...

I'm not gonna mill the slide or put much into this this with an aftermarket slide or the like

maybe a suarez dovetail L-Mount, Burris Dovetail mount(vortex said it should work on theirs if I get a vortex product)or an EGW Dovetail mount for the Vortex razor

I'd be interested in the Razor you have if the price was right.

What do you think?

I know Dovetail mounting isn't the best, but I'm having a hard time liking this gun, and a red dot may be the only way to save face on this Glock...haven't had a good experience with a glock yet.

Also: what is your opinion on the Sig Romeo sight

Bro, if you’re not invested enough to mill the slide then don’t bother asking about the optic. Get your Burris fast fire or vortex and be done with it. You get what you pay for.

My second glock (couldn't get excited about the first in 10mm} and not excited about the current gun itself enough to invest in those mods...want to be able to return it to stock and get rid of it if I am still not enjoying the glock product...

If putting an optic on (any grade)and a cheaper mount can get me interested in the gun, then I may just reinvest in doing it the right way. But if I dump the gun, I'll still have a possibly good optic to put on another pistol.

no need to get all high and mighty in your post "Bro"

I assumed you had a Glock with MOS. Not a big fan of dovetail mounts, but I've seen people run them and like them.

Not MOS...but Like I mentioned to that other poster...If I could actually enjoy shooting the glock I may invest in slide milling...but for now want a temporary mount (dovetail) to see if it does it for me.

I do like the Leupold and can get one for $286 as a hunter ed instructor and the Vortex for $197

thing about the Leupold is it has auto shut off and motion sense instant on...kinda like the sig romeo does

not sure on the RMR as it claims a long battery life ...but does not say auto shut off and motion sense turn on...that I can find

What do you not like about it? Trigger?

Have you tried a new connector? I have a ghost in my 19 and it’s night and day. Easy to change.
