smilata's Review of Vortex Viper 1x24mm Reflex Red Dot Sight

i have this sight. i mounted this sight to my glock , g34, gen4 mos. i used plate #1 for my glock.
i called vortex because you need new screws to mount this sight to the glock. plate #1 mos.... Vortex provides these screws for free if you message them... i then had to buy the "gasket" that UM TACTICAL sells. to fit between the sight and the mounting plate #1 which is attached to the glock. it costs like $5.00 bucks.
you need this to have the battery (2032) stay in contact with the frame/sight. . Some bypass this by using shoo-goo or other sticky stuff to hold the battery in place. . i can not vouch for this method as i have not used it. (spend the $5 bucks)
USE THE GLOCK SCREWS TO MOUNT THE PLATE #1 TO THE GLOCK BODY ( MOS PISTOL) THEN USE THE "SHIM" (OR GASKET() SOLD BY UM TACTICAL BETWEEN THE BATTERY THAT THE VIPER SIGHT USES (AND VIPER SIGHT) TO THE GUN. ( LIKE A CAKE THAT'S LAYERED) THEN USE THE FREE SCREWS PROVIDED BY VORTEX TO ATTACH THE VORTEX VIPER TO THE UM TACTICAL SHIM WHICH ATTACHES TO THE GUN BODY.
SO, 1) GUN FRAME (BODY) LOWEST .LAYER.. ATTACH TO THIS BODY (FRAME) THE M.O.S. PLATE #1. STEP #2 (ATTACH PLATE #1 TO GLOCK (FRAME) OR (BODY) WITH GLOCK PROVIDED SCREWS AND USE OPTIONAL LOCKTITE (THREAD GLUE APPLIED TO SCREWS ) TO KEEP PLATE #1 ATTACHED TO FRAME. BETTER
NOW STEP #3. PUT THE BATTERY (2032) (PLUS SIDE SHOWING OUT) INTO THE VIPER.
STEP #4; PUT THE SHIM (UM TACTICAL'S) GASKET) BETWEEN THE VIPER RED DOT SIGHT, AND THE FRAME (BODY) OF THE GLOCK. .. SECURE THEM WITH THE FREE SCREWS PROVIDED BY VORTEX.
SO, IT'S THE;, " VIPER SIGHT ATTACHED TO THE SHIM, ATTACHED TO THE GLOCK FRAME (BODY)( (USE LOCKTITE AGAIN ON THE SCREWS) THAT SECURE THE RED DOT VIPER SIGHT TO THE UMTACTICAL SHIM WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE GLOCK FRAME (BODY)
