Yeah, I figured it was. Now I guess I gotta buy another one.
I gotta say though, I'm not having any issues transitioning. I haven't been chasing the dot. May be the doughnut of death reticle, but I'm okay with that.
Do you clean after each range trip ?

I like the way it looks sitting so low on the gun. Reminds me of the Romeo1Pro.

Yes, I need pics please.
Now I also have the original slide with a nice set of TFX Pros on it I will probably never use again.

Yup. I love that it sits low enough that it works with standard height BUIS. Big bonus.

I’m thinking I might eventually put an SCS on my VP9SK.
A comparison of my Viridian Green Dot with suppressor height sights and SCS with standard sights.
I couldn’t position the guns to show the dot on both sights, but you can see the difference in sight windows.
Each gun with the dot cowitnessing with the respective iron sights.

Too bad I don't know someone who would cut my original slide for the SCS affordably. Then I would just buy a frame.

you know, that's "true" in some cases...back in my wrenching days, Fords were notorious for rear main oil leaks...The radiator of an old mustang i had in high school was like that. Never change the fluid or it would leak!
i had a customer that never changed his oil, his car had like over 100,000 miles on it, he just added oil.
back then, Mobil came out with Mobil 1 synthetic...(full oil change was like $25 back then, i'm talking early 1970's money)
i busted his chops and told him he SHOULD change over to that, and save on oil...
of course too, the Mobil 1 would ran out faster that a race horse at Belmont.....and he would seized up his engine.......
but i would made out great, installing a good boneyard engine..........plus the $25 (wayyy back then) for a Mobil 1 oil change...!!!!!!

i still don't understand why some folks still stay away from Turkish built guns...??
and i got me some heirlooms...my D/W's, my Sigs, My S/As', my Glocks, my Kimber, every gun i own is a heirloom....
they cost me money, an investment pretty much, that i want to last for a long time, or until i sell them.
is it OCD...???
maybe, or is it just cleanliness of one's possessions..???
i vacuum my car weekly, more if it needs it, i wash it at least 2 times per month, or less depending on the weather, and wax it at least 2 times a year.
either me or the Mrs, change the sheets weekly, and we do laundry (towesl, sheets, clothing, etc) several times a week..?
clean freaks...??
well, for us, it's "preserving the life" of things we "invested in", cuz no one can afford to go out and buy these things weekly or monthly, when they wear out prematurely, or break due to mishandling.....
i clean/vacuum yes, vacuum, both my reloading presses, and lube with grease or oil as per the owners manuals.....OCD, or taking care of what i own..??? what i invested in...????
some guys right here on this site, go out and buy guns nearly every day.....i am on SS and a pension, and i cannot afford to do that, so I MUST "preserve and protect my investments" all the time, to make them last.
not even with the Mrs Bingo winnings, do i go out and buy several guns a week.
ammo..?? components..?? gunpower....?? different story, those are "expendables" or consumables....
low dollar, or high dollar guns......are not...expendable at least, not to me, or some of the rest of us.
so.....OCD....??
Maybe...to some

I have had more Turkish made guns fail that I have used than from all other makers combined. Shotguns are horrible, rifles pretty bad and pistols are batting only 30% from the hundreds I have shot over 20 yrs.
As for cleaning, a pistol or AR in particular should go thousands of rounds before it needs cleaning. there should be no wear on the firearm from normal firing.
Now, if the firearm is your conceal carry, a proper cleaning after range use would be in order so you dont put it back in your holster and get some powder residue on your fancy pair of Dickies Coveralls.
I am clean person, but I am not OCD about it.
I "preserve and protect" my investments as well, I just not OCD about it.

apples and oranges....Do you guys use T.P. every time, or just live with the residue until 2000 rounds or so?
that would be like dipping your gun in the mud.. of course its getting cleaned after use.
the other would be like going #1 and your good to go to you shower the next day, or do you shower after every time you do a #1
