From the Razor, Viper, Venom red dot thread
Quoted:
Hey Vortex Rep,
I am planning on getting one of S&W's CORE full size M&P 2.0,.....whenever they come out with it.....and want to put either the Vortex Venom or Viper on it. I would like to use the iron sights that come with the pistol, and get as close to an absolute co-witness as possible. Would it be better to go with the Viper or Venom to do this, or how much of a difference would there be between the two? ? Also, what are the upsides to going with either Vortex choice?
Thanks for the info!
Hey Clastac - you're going to want to look at the Viper. The Venom sits about 1.4 mm higher than the Viper, and would be too high. -RJ
Many thanks RJ!
I ordered the Viper a couple of days ago, and a regular 9L ported CORE today (gave up on waiting for the 2.0). Talked with a John from Vortex CS, and he said that I need to use the #5 plate, #3 screws, and put some electrical tape between the Viper battery and the plate and I should be good to go.
What used to take months and cost a small fortune, now costs about half what it did, and can be completed in an evening by the average customer. Will post pics when completed.
Thanks again!
