Re: 61 Minute of Angle Zero Shift with Vortex Viper Red Dot Sight

So, it turns out that the glass had actually shifted a little bit within the housing of the Viper RDS, which in turn pushed the red dot askew resulting in the drastic shift in POI. I'm glad the Vortex Rep who called me actually took the time to look it over while we were on the phone, because the gu...

Re: 61 Minute of Angle Zero Shift with Vortex Viper Red Dot Sight

I'm thinking it may be a problem with both the Viper & the Venom, as I found a couple blog posts citing a similar issue with the Venom. Heck, there were even a couple 1-Star reviews on Vortex's website that cited loss of zero for the Viper. I'm willing to bet that most of their RDS' are good to ...

61 Minute of Angle Zero Shift with Vortex Viper Red Dot Sight

I decided to get a RDS for my Glock 19 a couple years ago, but didn't really put many rounds through it since it wasn't my every day carry gun. Other than using it for the DPS' First Responders Course, it was basically just used to familiarize myself with RDS'. Last October I began training with it ...

Another damning expert witness report: https://nraindanger.wordpress.com/2023/03/27/another-ny-expert-witness-report/ There's too much in the report to post, below is the last two paragraphs.

Cold Bore Tactical training videos on YouTube

It's been a discovery-learning process, but I'm getting the hang of creating educational videos & posting publicly for free onto YouTube. The initial intent was to provide a resource for my students to review as they continued to practice the techniques they had just learned in class. Rather tha...

Re: carrying under what authority?

My opinion is that you do not choose which authority you are carrying under in cases like this. You need to remember that you are carrying under the authority of your license ONLY when it provides an exception to the law making your carrying otherwise illegal. So, in most cases, you are not carryin...
