Xfive Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I used the Vortex Viper last year. I like it over the Venom because of the bigger window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phique2000 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 Thanks for all the great replies. I have one more question before I go ahead with this project. Has anyone set up a red dot by using a mount that fits into the rear sight dovetail? Are they durable? Do they hold zero? If I do this I'll be using the Galloway on a Ruger SR-9. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 They work fine, but put the dot quite a ways above the top of the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Couple of guns with EGW dt mounts. Very durable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For slide ride beatings, I think RMR is as tough as they come. I've been debating doing the exact same thing for my RFPO 22/45 mk3. Currently I'm running a CMORE slideride on the allchin mount. Allchin makes the dovetail mount that will fit several brands. Only reason is to lighten the gun. It's already a LITE model. My concern is the brightness of the 6moa. I love the 8 moa dot on the CMORE. I've looked at a venom 2x, both were 6moa. Once at a match and once in the gun store. At the match it looked like a pin prick and I was disgusted with how small it was on max brightness and not a clear circle. At the gun store the 6 moa looked amazing. Clear, large, circular dot. Maybe the one I viewed outside had a weak battery or the difference outside is just that big?? I wasn't even standing in direct sunlight. So how have you liked it so far?
