ChiefWPD Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Thought some of you would like to see how a Vortex Venom looks when mounted on a “normal†Glock pistol (i.e., not set-up for electronic sights). The Glock was purchased new, by me, back in 1992. I decided to try a red dot sight on the pistol and liked the Vortex Venom model a lot. I put a plate on top, which is done via a piece inserted in the rear sight slot (need a sight-pusher for the job, IMHO). Once that was done it’s a straightforward installation. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L9734Y6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I did use blue Loctite for all screws. Just in case. I have around 150 rounds through the pistol over the last few days. Sights working like a charm! The threaded barrel came from SilencerCo. $20 bucks with the purchase of one of their suppressors. A deal!! (actually, a $200 credit) The funny looking crinkly black stuff is a rubberized material I found on Amazon to enhance gripping my slide (I think the material is intended for use on grips).

JJHNSN Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Looks good to me, have a good time, how are you finding shooting with an RDS? Slow you down much getting rounds accurately on target? I have half a dozen Glocks and my "fun Glock" is my Glock 43 MOS with a Deltapoint Pro on it, triangle sight, I run it compensated and have Taran Tactical extensions for 17+1 45ACP capacity, etc. Fun times.

Might take some time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
