The Vortex is just better engineered and a smarter design in that regard. It also makes changing a battery mid-match or midday a pain in the butt. Although this probably won’t change your point of aim very much they can be affected enough to have a consequence on your score in a tight competition or on stages with longer range targets. In many of the other red dots the battery compartment is under the red dot and you’re going to have to take down the slide, remove the unit to replace the battery and then reinstall the red dot. The battery replacement leads me to one of the biggest reasons I decided to go with the Vortex Venom, I can change the battery without removing the unit from the slide. The batteries are cheap and it is easy to do so for peace of mind so you may as well make it part of your normal maintenance on your gun. While we do not have number published per setting, it would fall between those two numbers.”Ī rough estimate means I would change my battery after every 20-25 matches if I was running the highest setting all day. Use at lower settings can allow up to 30,000 hours. “Up to 150 hours of use at the highest setting. I normally leave the dot on all day during competitions and have yet to change the battery although I do keep a spare in my range bag for when it inevitably craps out mid-match. I have been using the G Sight Laser Training Cartridge to work on dot acquisition. It is just a different skill set and as such takes practice and trigger time. Finding the dot usually is the biggest challenge to many people as they transition from irons to dots and has been the largest volume of issues and complaints that I have seen. I spent hours dry firing and drawing from the holster learning to index the dot with my eye so I did not spend time searching for the dot during shooting. Some of the highlights are in the video below. I think because of that I felt a little more confident and was able to relax a little which allowed me to shoot better and really learn the acquire the red dot from the holster. My first steel challenge was a great experience with a ton of good teachers who walked me through each stage. So far it is been a joy to use this gun and competition and I’m getting more excited for each weekend that I get to compete. I feel that I have managed to master the sight enough to finally start becoming truly proficient with it. So far everything about it has been positive, although there was, and still is a learning curve. The Vortex Venom has been my jumping off point into the red dot pistol sight world. Although I have used red dots on rifles I was new to putting one on a pistol so I decided to go with the cheaper red dot that still has very good reviews. I just had to research and I just didn’t want to spend more money not knowing if I was actually going to like it or not.
When I started designing the pistol ( Red Dot Glock Build ) that I wanted to have built for competitions I had a few things in mind, the biggest being I really wanted a red dot.
