Hawk21 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Picked up a carry optics package few weeks back off the forum with a vortex venom. Made a few range trips and was ready for my first IDPA match yesterday. Didn’t think anything about the dot battery as my range bag contains half a dozen 20232s and a couple 1/3n (even though I no longer own a slide ride). So when my dot went out midway thru the match I headed over to the safe table for a quick fix, but immediately knew I was in trouble with how small the cover was. To my surprise under there stood a 1632 staring back at me I had no replacement for nor did anyone else in the squad. finished the match down 133 lesson learned!

SteelCityShooter Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 As you have discovered, not every red dot takes a 2032! The Vortex Venom and Viper, Burris FF3, Nikon P-Tactical Spur and I assume other similar size sights all take the 1632. I'm surprised no one else had one.

I should have checked but, since the battery loads from the bottom I guess there is more room for a larger one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevrofreak Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I don't even shoot a gun that uses a 1632, but I have a spare in my bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
