Viridian RFX35 1x22 Micro Green Dot, RMR Mounting Pattern, Featuring Instant-ON

So low profile and nice quality that it’s a no brainer. Was a lil worried but after installing it I couldn’t be more pleased. Co witness straight from the package wow even cooler. Dot is good man I am so pleased Updated! Unless you can locate screws for the Glock rmr plate the screw they supply which are the only ones … go through the rmr plate and contact to slide of the Glock… that causes to rmr to lift at the back. At first I thought well it’s not a big deal but I thought about it and if I shoot that’s going to wear away at my slide. Can not locate screws with thread pattern and the right depth and width I just returned it. Dam nice sight One more thing there is a little space between sight and mos cut out and there’s a gap in front hard to see but it’s there. Big picture window Broken hearted

This will be my 3rd and 4th RFX35s. The first two are going very well on my CZ Shadow 2 OR and my 10/22 speed steel rifle. The green dots are far easier on my eyes and targets acquired quicker. Will be replacing 2 other red dots with this purchase. These offer real value for money, are robust ( few thousand on my CZ) and bright. These are mounted on Outer Impact's universal mounts.

Low deck height for a more compatible co-witness. Holds zero on my ported M&P 2.0 Carry Comp. Ports being in the slide cut, putting them closer to the chamber/Optic than the muzzle. Didn't realize the battery it came with was almost dead, the LED emitter flickered while shooting about a month into using the RFX35 on the weekends. Swapping out that battery for a Duracell 2032 solved that. Ordered a RFX11.

UPDATE: I've contacted Viridian and they will replace my unit - so kudos to their customer service and how they handle things. I will now test this that will be the third unit in a couple months - If it works, and lasts longer with a descent brightness level, I will update my review here as well. <Original Review> I'm competitive shooter, and color blind with strong protanopia, so I see a lot more green than red - I had my hopes high when I saw that this one has the same footprint as the RMR SRO (the window is a bit smaller, seems to be the same as the C-MORE RTS2), and it's green. At first it did seem to have a good brightness - not the crispier dot by the way, nothing compared to the high end brand such as C-MORE, RMR and Holosun. But the first unit I got broke even before I shot the gun for the fist time with live fire. I had it installed and was dry-firing a lot to get used to it. When I went to the range to do a live fire test for the first time, the brightness was already down, so I thought of changing the battery. After I removed the used battery and put a new one the thing wouldn't come alive again. It was dead! Tried the used battery again, nothing... 2 other brand new batteries, nada... It was dead. Sent the one back and got another one - The new survived the battery change, and I was finally able to test it for real - In a bright sunny day, you can see the green dot, but is not nearly as bright as you would like. Even on the maximum brightness and with a new battery, it's just not enough. And good luck if you shooting something with a white background... your dot will just vanish blending with the background because there is just not brightness enough to stand it apart. I can no longer return this one, or I would. I'm going back to the SRO. Even as a color blind and with extreme difficult to see the right amount of red, I can still work with SRO better than I would with this viridian thing.

I like how bright this optic is and was able try it out a few days after receiving it. It wasn’t hard to zero and held up for that session. The only issue I found was that of the mounting screws. Mine were a little too tall and wouldn’t allow for flush fitment so I had to shave them down just a tad and not it sits flush on my slide. I’d buy another.

These are great for the price. I have one on my Canik Rival-S and it works great. I prefer green over red as it's clearer to me. Zero issues with background colors and is very bright in sunlight. Holds zero. No issues.

I'm a huge fan of green dot sights and large windows on optics. I added this to my AR47 build and it has held up very well. It mounts securely to my rmr riser. Instillation is easy and plenty of screws are provided.

I love it. I have glasses and the green is easy to see and keep track of without them. It's really mad me happy so far.
