Customer Insights
Excellent for Glock MOS and Pistol Platforms
“Sits really nice and low without any distracting hood. The dot size is perfect, with a lot of adjustment range. I mounted it on my Glock MOS without shims or extra plates—just used Blue Loctite and proper torque. The clarity is far superior to my previous RMR, with less tint and a bigger window for faster shot recovery.”
Key Takeaways: Easy MOS fit, low profile, crisp optics, fast transitions.
Reliable After Hundreds of Rounds
“Installed it on my Springfield Armory XDe with an EGW mount. The first unit had a minor issue after 134 rounds—Vortex replaced it quickly with excellent customer service. The replacement has now survived 500+ rounds and two competitions without losing zero.”
Key Takeaways: Exceptional warranty service, durable build, holds zero under heavy use.
Great Value and Build Quality
“Perfect fit, remarkable durability, and a great price point. The lens coating really helps in all weather conditions.”
Key Takeaways: Affordable for its quality, rugged construction, versatile use.
