I ran a Rival with the 6moa viper on it for a year and a half. After I bought the gun and optic I needed a holster hanger, belt, two mag pouches, and elected to get a magnet for the occasional oddball stage (like stowing mags from barrels) I also grabbed the mag extension and spring/follower combo that allows 24 rounds and still fits the 141.25mm gauge. That made it so I wasn’t at any significant disadvantage anywhere, local or major. (24 round classifier like “trigger freeze”? No problem. No reloads needed.) The Canik Rival ships with 3 mags, a holster, and the optic plates you’ll need. It’s around 6. Found a solid deal on the Vortex viper for under 2. The mag extension, belt, pouches, hanger, and magnet was just over 2. So for right around a grand I’m in the most popular division. As far as shooting goes that a very low barrier to entry. There were guys way better of course, but there were also guys who are new that I could compete against. Carry optics is such a popular division that every level is well represented, even at small matches. Since then I’ve upgraded a few things, but the point is I didn’t have to…I had a great gun, great optic, equitable capacity, and ability to play the game on an even ground. That left success up to ability and work ethic, exactly as it should be. I’ve outlined a great entry option for someone who has little or no gear. They need to be familiar with their gun and with range safety. Other than that, there is zero reason they can’t come out and have a blast shooting USPSA.

Glock 34 gen 5 with "agressive texture" on frame (to increase friction against sweat); Razor Six MOA red dot; Double Alpha Academy competition belt.

A close up of your gun and gear woulda been nice

[@sarb6p55]

Good for you

[@richardmartinez7844]

Love the rigging!! What models are they belt,holster etc?

[@matthewrezuke8130]

Mmmm seems the cz is missing.

Good video brother

[@SkyOps1]

I went through 5 Razors on my Shadow 2 before I decided enough was enough. Now have an SRO and works great. Can't recommend the Vortex Razor.

[@Tyler_Lyons]

Any plans on making a red dot for the RMSc footprint. I want to get a red dot for my P322 but want a better warranty than the others

[@lesttermata5056]

Cheers !! excellent information on the Vortex sight !! with a query!! What is the difference between this Vortex Razor and the Vortex Venom 6 Moas? is one better than the other ? always for competition? Thank you

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Great question! There's a few subtle differences between the two. The Venom has a top load battery vs the Razor having a side load battery compartment. Additionally, the Razor has 170 MOA of elevation and 114 MOA of windage adjustment. The Venom has 130 MOA of elevation adjustment and 100 MOA of windage adjustment. Overall, the Razor is a step above the Venom in terms of its optical system/glass, but will sit a bit higher in comparison. Depending on what you're putting a dot on - one might be a better fit. Let us know if you have any questions on choosing one over the other, but that's a run down of the differences!

Any trigger mods?

[@chrisnanney1095]

Which trigger in your 34?

[@pablohermida5722]

Hello, I would like to practice this sport, could you please tell me about a club in Orlando Florida where I can do it. I appreciate your help and information is very important to me

[@biker1958]

Great, I have a Glock 34 gen 3 with a trijicon sro for carry optics. Glocks are as good as anything out there.

[@richardoliver1468]

Please do a video on a Canik TP9 (not optic ready slide) series with your Vortex Viper using a dove tail adopter plate.

[@tacoscheap]

That’s gonna sit pretty high on the gun. You’d have two adapters between the slide and the optic. I love caniks, but I’d recommend trading in yours for one that’s optic ready. I’ve seen Mete’s (sft) for right around 4…less if you can find it used. That’s optic ready. For 6 or less if you find it used, the rival is loaded down with great value. See my post.

Lighting, camera work excellent and professioal...info kept me engaged, however, the video is about the gun, soooooo 90% of the video time should be close up of the gun. ..all angles.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Appreciate the feedback! We'll be sure to pass that along to our video team!

Please make a green dot

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Hey Aaron! The Strikefire II is a red/green dot. But we'll definitely pass along your feedback about incorporating green dots into our line up. We appreciate it!

[@glocktopus888]

@@VortexOpticsUSA yup but I need a green pistol dot! Recently sold a g34 mounted with a vortex dot (astimigsm), then cut my other 34 for a holosun to get a green dot. Would rather add to my large list of vortex products! Still waiting on my gen 3 6-36 to land and cant wait

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

@@glocktopus888 We hear ya! We'll definitely pass along that feedback my friend! And let us know how you like that 6-36 when you get a chance to send a few down range! 👊

[@laszlovandor4770]

Proof of the rich vocabulary "peacekeepers" have . Fortunately I have and like Vortex, otherwise watching this, ......

[@vince38curious2]

6 MOA Seems Really Big to Me.. Even a 3 MOA in a Rifle Scope is Huge.. Why not Make a 1/4 MOA DOT and Make it Brighter or More Contrasting against the Back Ground for Finer Accuracy !?

[@nobody9046]

It's a pistol

[@tlwisner]

@@nobody9046 It's a pistol that is shot quickly too! 6 moa works well. It isn't a bullseye pistol.

[@jstpsgthru]

ha ha, you could have had a real gun for the money you put into that thing.

[@Huhmasta]

There’s a good reason you really don’t see anyone at a high level using vortex red dots, just saying. You guys aren’t known for qualify for red dots, you’re known for your scopes.
