Important to note these do not zero with any specific click value. It's just a screw you turn. Other optics have individual 1 MOA or 0.5 MOA click values to zero.
Lenny, you're the best. Thanks for making shooting fun again.
Thanks again Lenny another great option.... Happy New Year to you and everyone at the Glock Store
stopped in when I was on vacation for some training, awesome place, the insstructor was great.
good to see more choices! swimming in green!
You always have good videos on how to work on the GLOCK guns. Take care and be safe sir. See you on the next video.
Good seeing you again Lenny, I am a huge supporter of Holosun, Trijicon and Olight, Viridian makes lots of quality sights. Happy New Year to you all!
They use cheap 6061 alluminum
I believe from the day I shipped my slide out to the day I received it was 7-8 days including the weekend. Very fast service.
Well now you thru another one in there…actually been thinking about the holosun scs for my G40 gen4 mos and I’ve got G19 gen4 prolly send in for a slide cut would you go with the SCS on these two?
Wish I lived closer. Store is on my vacation stop .
Will the optic hold zero when you remove it to replace battery's ?
Nope ...not when I can get a Holosun with a side mount battery, or basically the same money.
No one should still be making you remove your optic just to change a battery.
They do it because...
The technology is better and batteries last longer now.
It is a bigger battery than the side load ones.
Adding a tray makes the unit thicker and less cowitness. This is the main reason for the bigger battery and no tray
When puking and zeroing it literally takes a couple minutes and very little change.
The smaller battery is not as common and harder to find than the 2032.
There are good valid reasons for putting the battery on the bottom and not having a tray.
Do these green dots require a sealing plate under it?
Any of them fit a Delta Point Pro cut?
Do you have options for g42?
Say to say that’s this is a new Gen ? I wonder when the last time it was these were redesigned. I just bought one
How much is the veridian?
Question. Do these Optics stick out if you have mos version or if it's just the cutout version ??
They can cut it to the right depth for you
As a hunter that puts equipment through harsh conditions in the mountains, this looks like it could be easily damaged and the sun would light the glass up: making it harder to see the target.
Can i use the RFX 35 on my GLOCK 19X?
I've been wondering this for years, why don't manufacture's make more green optics? Green stuff always sells better than red, seems like a no-brainer move.
The holosun acss 🫠
I’m from Ohio. In spring and summer, everything is green. In winter, everything is white. Green doesn’t contrast well against green or white. Red is the way to go.
@@roul3688 The high vis green laser dot is easier to see than red against an outdoor green background, especially if you have an astigmatism. I live in the South and things are green year-round. I recently tested both colors in multiple outdoor situations and bought the green.
@@roul3688I live in ohio too but I say green is the way to go cause it's proven to draw in you're attention more than red.
@@roul3688also it doesn't snow much where I live in ohio and if it does it only stays for half a day maybe a day max
Did you say you were in Nashville? I thought your store was in California!
Why would you buy a bottom battery dot??
Are these shake awake? Auto or manual adjustment? What is the dot size?
Instant on, 3 MOA
Dot size??
Can Viridian RFX15 directly(no plate, no cut) mount on G43X/48 MOS?
Shouldnt be a problem
My question is are they really worth the money for an actual gun fight which would usually occur at close range. My opinion is they would be good at the shooting range or if you would be engaged in a long range shoot out. Still thinking about installing one on my EDC Glock 26 though.
You will see it but you won't remember.
I hard to buy one. When they almost cost as much as a new gun.
Usually doesn't mean always. Your iron sights are useless at the typical gun fight range too. Might as well take those off of your pistol too.
I can’t find any link or reference to the 10 day slide work on your website. Can you post it please.
We can't link to our website without getting flagged but if you go to our website and search "9072" it will come up.
Remove optic to replace the battery then spend time & money at the range resetting sights in.
Why do so many gun & accessory reviews use a black or dark background with products that are black? I can barely see any details.
I’m curious as to why laser s have fallen out of favor I purchased a Lazermax guide rod for my Glock 19 an love it couldn’t imagine not using one again.
Salesman at my local gun shop said some people feel like a laser can give away their position, which they feel is a no-go. I have a green laser on my .380 Bersa.
I agree. Laser is way faster! Red dot takes a lot of practice. They are cool but I don’t like em on a carry weapon.
The people saying it gives your location away, what a joke! Don’t you think the flash from your weapon gives away your location? Ha
If your weapon is getting pulled out then it better be faster than the enemies! To each his own.
I do like the concept though.
@@keebz75 lasers are a gimmick. Get use to it grandpa.
@@samabinguap8303
Comment don’t even make sense?
Lasers are a gimmick but red dots aren’t? And get “use” or get used!
smh
The tooling marks in that Optics cut are terrible I hope that is mid production and still has some polishing to go. Also I don't know if the customers would want their slide serial numbers out on youtube. Otherwise this is pretty cool and that's a very great time frame for service as long as things aren't rushed.
Green is dominant , your eye will go to that safety green before any other color, it excites the rods and cones more than any color in the human eye.
My lady excites my rod and I excite her cones
Hey Lenny, you said that the RFX35 takes a 2025 battery, but when you were showing its underside, it said “2032.”. Just saying. Thanks for ALL your informative content!!
It's the eyes ...I saw that to lol
with the battery underneath, when changing batteries I assume you need to zero once again?
Yup!
But really that takes a whole minute! With a true cowitness, it’s just set the dot on front post.
Can’t do battery on the bottom, that’s old school.
No it isn't. Most are on bottom because of technology and the downfalls of building a small optic that will cowitness with a battery tray. This is the norm. It's not a big deal to pull and change every 2 or 3 years. There is a reason they aren't doing it.
In these day and age if you don't know how to mount a sight then you have a problem.
Battery is on the bottom....Thats a no-go for me...... Pain in the ass to replace.
Literally takes less than a minute to remove and add a battery
They are way behind the game with having to remove it to replace the battery , a lot better red/green dots on the market ....
Battery on bottom. Doesn’t that mean you have to remove the optic to change battery? That seems like a non-starter. The first time i mounted a red dot with locktite, it came off. Remounting isn’t something i want to do.
I was thinking the same!
Might be petty but optics with battery on bottom are a no go imo
That’s pretty much the norm with a true cowitness with factory height sights.
@@keebz75 Good point but do you want a co-witness on a pistol?
@@jonathans1472
Honestly I did! I had a shield plus with shield arms. All co witness! But the dot didn’t raise any higher than 1/3 height of the glass! It was hard for me to pick up fast. At least I could find the Trijicon HD sights then the dot was there. Now I feel I would want a middle dot sight picture. But then that changes my sights to a suppressor height. And that changes the concealability in my mind. I want a quick draw with no obstructions. Guess it would be good with different holsters. But for me I carry deep IWB with a cheap Barsony holster which actually “locks” gun into holster with the Trijicons. Haha. I’m too picky and dont like change.
First and great content as usual
Thanks Lenny
Bought a Holosun 507k and the battery died in less than 4 months. Pick up my carry backup and look for the dot, none there, shake awake, nothing. Changed battery and it's fine. I am not believing the 5 year battery life story any longer and now I feel it's unreliable for a carry weapon. Looking for a replacement.
They look like unremarkable generic red dots. They are out of touch, look at holosun they came up with with 4 different closed emitter options.
soooo many failure points everywhere....
These look cheaply made, especially compared to the competition.
Are these on back order like the rest of the Glock store stock. LOL. Complete garbage!
Very constructive and insightful comment. Do you have an order on back order or are you just looking for the attention your parents neglected to give you?
@@BWHeitmann
Both?!? It’s been almost 2 years, order not filled. Same bs when I call. I found the exact same product and was at my house in a week. The Glock store is garbage.
