Overview
A green dot reflex sight for handguns with a picatinny mounting base, an aircraft grade aluminum housing, and a footprint that matches several common handgun optic mounting patterns.
The listing markets this as a green dot model, and the footprint is built to match Doctor, Vortex Venom and Burris Fastfire style mounts, plus optics ready slides like Glock MOS, Springfield OSP and Taurus TORO when paired with the manufacturer's own mounting plate. That plate is not included, so confirming your pistol's exact footprint before buying matters.
- Green dot reflex sight
- Picatinny mounting base included
- Fits Doctor, Vortex Venom and Burris Fastfire footprints
- Aircraft grade aluminum construction
Who it's for
Handgun shooters whose optics ready pistol slide already uses a Doctor, Vortex Venom or Burris Fastfire footprint, or who plan to buy the matching mounting plate separately. It is not a fit for shooters needing an included, pistol specific mount.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Aircraft grade aluminum housing

- Fits several common footprint patterns
- Multi coated lens for a clearer sight picture

Performance notes
A multi coated lens is intended to provide a clear sight picture and better light transmission. The aircraft grade aluminum housing is built for durability. A picatinny base is included, and separate handgun mounting plates let it fit Doctor, Vortex Venom and Burris Fastfire footprints, as well as Glock MOS, Springfield OSP and Taurus TORO slides.
