I just wanted to take a moment to thank the generous individual in this community who donated this optic to my AR-pistol build. It was part of the SOTAR karma I won back in December. Thank you again!
While I would've been grateful to just have a set of iron sights on my build, the Vortex Spitfire 1x was an unexpected bonus. Wasn't sure how well a non-magnified illuminated sight would work but, I gotta give it two thumps-up.
Like a lot of people my age (58), I have pretty severe astigmatism. Red dots appear as either a streak or a starburst and I ended-up switching back to a conventional optic with a crosshair reticle after trying a couple of nicer red dots a few years ago. I absolutely love this Vortex, though. No streaks. No smears. Target acquisition is fast and instinctive.
