The Viper comes with a Picatinny mount for attaching it to an AR-style rifle, but I was looking to add it to a pistol without the expense and time of sending my slide off to be milled for a red dot. Fully multi-coated lenses provide excellent light throughput as well as clarity, while protecting them from scratches and smudges.Īdjustment screws allow 1 MOA per click for quickly setting zero and because the Viper has such a low profile, it can be co-witnessed with suppressor height iron sights for additional fine tuning. The rugged single-piece chassis protects the lens and internal electronics from harsh use and accidental drops. With the typical ranges that I engage targets with a pistol, the dot is still plenty small so that it doesn’t obscure the target, but that extra bit of mass cuts down on time spent searching for the point of aim. Some red dots on the market with smaller aiming points, can be difficult to find in the viewing window, but because it has a larger dot, the Viper is quick to get on target. With a 6 MOA red dot, the Viper is very easy to acquire. One great option I looked at is the Vortex Viper Red Dot sight. I set out to find a decent red dot pistol reflex sight that I could mount without sending off the slide of my gun to be milled. It is no wonder, that so many avid shooters are looking to improve their sighting systems and a great method to accomplish that is with a red dot reflex sight. As my eyes get older, sometimes the front sight focus I have come to take for granted gets a little fuzzier and harder to find.
