Pros & Cons
Pros
Only problem is, seating the battery cap with the battery in takes time. Vortex has the best warranty in the business. Long battery life, light weight aluminum body.
Use the brightest part of the comet as the center. Auto brightness works very well between outside and inside lighting conditions.
Cons
Zero in is a struggle at short distance and a shim might be required. The battery is loose in the compartment causing the red dot to disappear after every shot.
Threads/heads make some unusable (screwdriver won't go in because there's metal chunks basically welded into the top). Would not turn on. Why is this still an issue?
Vortex * red dot optic is not up to par. Outfitters charged me additional $37. Is this an amazon scam or is vortex dropping off on quality and qc?
Product is not eligible for refunds, returns, or exchanges. We work our * off to be able to buy these products and to see the above response is truly nauseating. I hurts me to write this review but not every product companies make can be excellent, so... Read More
Highlights
Quality
This, coupled with the overall ease of use, makes it a joy to shoot with.
Works great, quality made and nice mount.
The holes line up fine, but the screws that come with the venom are too long and won't tighten all the way down.
I'm glad they make this lightweight red dot though i wish the quality was better for an optic priced well into the +$200 category.
Price
For the price you cant go wrong.
Shipping
Both times vortex sent me a new optic and even paid for shipping.
Competitiveness
In my use case, i was mounting this to a springfield armory xdm elite .
I really love this sight, and don’t hesitate to give it my most enthusiastic five-star rating.
22 and the other on a taurus tx 22 competition.
Not sure how the screws fit with other firearm brands, but you'll need to find new screws or grind them down a bit for them to ... Read More

I was then able to zero the sight

This was easy enough but should not have been necessary for a piece of equipment in this price range

The slot in the pistol is flat so i had to file the screw mounting holes to allow the bulge to clear enough
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Be aware you might need to file out the mounting screw holes a little to get a good fit
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Down side is that it arrived with a fully dead battery and removing to cover even with a nylon coated tip screwdriver caused quite a bit of the black paint to come off
