Vortex Venom Question

Not sure about the 6 moa, but isn't it Vortex Venom that Kimber generally puts on their OI pistols? That's what's on my Aegis, and I know I've seen them on a few other models

Yeah, no shake awake bothers me. You're either burning battery or you aren't and there's no middle ground. That said, My Aegis is a safe queen; I've never even put a round through it so this isn't an issue for me. But I think pretty regularly that because I like my MCP so much for EDC that I'd like it even better with an optic. Stopped in a gun shop the other day and saw an Aegis Elite OI 4" in the case and almost put hands on it, but then I thought about it being turned on all day every day and I didn't bother even taking it out. If I get a carry gun with an optic, it's going to have to be smarter than the Venom or my OCD will be off the hook 60 hours a week.

I didn't buy it because need more guns to shoot, I didn't even buy it because I really wanted it. I bought it because it was too good a price to pass up and I happened to have the money.

Now I can make 100yard hits with my carry gun, and my eyes suck.

Holy Toledo Batman!

I really need to start shooting my OI's and update my EDC.

Sounds like my issue, focussing on the target and the front sight at once. It's like the venn diagram just can't find consensus. I'm decent with irons out to 25 yards with my gov't, but it feels a lot harder than it should for someone who can read an exit at a quarter mile but can't see the date on his watch without a cyclops.

Anyone have an opinion on Swampfox? For an extremely short time (which may be telling), Kimber offered Micro 9's with a Swampfox Sentinel red dot. Kinda hard to find, but it got me thinking it would probably be a simple enough thing to have Kimber mill a slide since they were selling them OI a year ago.

I'm only thinking of Swampfox because I like the idea of a RDS on a Micro 9 and Kimber already did it with that one, at least for a few minutes.

Well, I'd certainly feel more confident about a Holosun, but that's mainly because I don't know anything about Swampfox- but I assume they're at least a bit cheaper. I wandered into a gun store yesterday and the counter guy handed me his EDC which was a Shadow Systems somethingorother, so I could look at the Swampfox optic on it. It looked at least as nice as the Vortex on my Aegis, and he really loves it. I dunno. This little project I'm considering is essentially a pajama gun, so I'm not in a rush to get it figured out. Appreciate the responses though, it all adds up.
