Crimson Trace CTS-25 Red Dot (worth it?)

[@johnqpublic2718]

I too had some Cabela’s bucks burning a hole in my pocket and just ordered one of these - granted it was off of Bass Pro, but it was free.

[@FullLeadTaco]

just make sure to note the directions on how to adjust before you take it to the range, I think I put them in this video

[@johnqpublic2718]

@@FullLeadTaco I definitely caught that part, lol. Thanks for the content and tips!

I love crimson trace best budget lasers and sights I've found

[@FullLeadTaco]

this one has still held up on my AK-V in 9mm. Got around 700 rounds through it and it is still holding zero.

[@miker258]

Got one on my AR in 9mm and I love it Can’t be beat for the price

[@FullLeadTaco]

it has held up nicely so far on my AK-v

[@joshuaabren]

I personally look through the retical when sighting in my red dot, that way I can watch where the dot is moving

[@FullLeadTaco]

That works, but hard after you've sighted it in already and you need to change it just 1-2 clicks right or left.

[@parabellum7961]

Thanks I just bought 2. Hope it's still working well!

[@FullLeadTaco]

so far so good... it seems to be holding up ok on my AK-V in 9mm

[@parabellum7961]

@@FullLeadTaco sweet thanks! Im putting one on a gsg 16 and the other on cz scorpion.

[@anthonyn.3575]

Yeah I bought two myself before watching your video. I mounted it on my 9mm carbine rifle and took it to the range. Needed to adjust windage and elevation so I went to unscrew the cap and exactly the same problem, no indication at all for windage or elevation. I opened the manual thinking that it would mention it….nothing there either. So I had to guess on both windage and elevation….wasting ammo, of course. Was irritating and pissed off, really 🤷‍♂️

[@FullLeadTaco]

Yeah, kinda stupid for them to do that

[@terrycannon2061]

Thanks for the review. I see you have about the same thing t say about it as Papa's Place did. I feel the same way except at least your box had a Model number on it. Mine has ZERO identification other than CT . I think they are playing a suckers game with this product.

[@leveractiongypsy1848]

Good vid thanks for the education on red dot sights as I dont know anything. I'm thinking of getting a red dot for my 45carbine, what do you suggest for a 'good bang for the buck' model? I had a crimson trace laser sight that came on a Kahr 45 pistol and hated it. It never stayed put and was constantly readjusting! I actually hate that pistol now too lol

[@nickjm37fordel1]

Hey Mike Thanks for the review. Hear Crimson Trace laser grips are pretty good, maybe this red dot will be OK for a plinking gun ! Look forward to the shooting test. The products, warrantees and service are good on is Feyachi products. Life-time guarantee :-)) Would be cool to see your view on these products.

[@FullLeadTaco]

a review on feyachi red dots?

I go for Bushnell CTS26 the new one...old one is 25??!!! $99.00.....I like it!

[@graypatriot1299]

thank you

thanks for watching

On another note: Have you ever used reclaimed lead from car batteries? Do you think it would work? I don´t think its a good idea. I am doing research for a videogame mod.

[@reloader7sixtwo]

Never attempt to reclaim lead from car batteries. Not only is the amount of lead not worth the effort, the gasses generated from the chemicals used in car batteries which impregnates the lead and melting down that lead is deadly even in small amounts.

[@FullLeadTaco]

Reclaiming lead from batteries can be VERY dangerous and toxic. There are some pretty strong acids and chemicals that can really do damage to your lungs/body if you don't know how to neutralize them properly. I would NOT recommend doing so.

[@southsidebtd]

no indication for adjustments¿ who needs that¿ rookies

[@FullLeadTaco]

Lol, right?

[@rodrigoanunezrivolta9267]

Hi, nice video. I was looking for this cheap red dot model, since I don't want to spend a lot of money. I am planning a similar setup in an PSA AK-V. You filmed this video 8 months ago. What do you think now compared to a Bushnell trs26 or a sig Romeo 5? Regards

[@FullLeadTaco]

Sig Romeo 5 is better

[@rodrigoanunezrivolta9267]

@@FullLeadTaco Thanks, finally got a Holosun 403b, and a Bushnell RXS250, since no Sig was available here (at a reasonable price). Will try both and decide, the RXS its smaller, so less "combloc AK cosmetic compromise" Regards Rodrigo

[@FullLeadTaco]

@@rodrigoanunezrivolta9267 yeah, let me know what you think of those two

[@Matt-dc8lp]

I would like to learn more about this "and stuff" that you use red dots for.🤣🤣🤣

[@FullLeadTaco]

lol

[@hawkrider1957]

Look inside the caps for directions

[@FullLeadTaco]

No, you don't understand, there are no markings for directions. Not under the caps, not on the caps, and not in the instructions.

[@flippdoubt8057]

Follow up vid on Crimson Trace?

[@andy79z28]

Sent you an email like a week ago did you see it???

[@FullLeadTaco]

yeah, sent a reply

[@ratagris21]

How's this optic holding up? Any concerns or issues besides no arrows for directions. ♠️☯️🎩🏁

[@FullLeadTaco]

I have it mounted on my 9mm AK-V and have about 300-400 rounds through it. Seems to be doing alright.

[@ratagris21]

Thanks I was wondering also. Just bought two!
