Just got me a Hellcat OSP and was searching red dots. Very few affordable micros out there that fit. Screw 600 bucks for the Trijicon.
Came across Swamp Fox.
I ordered a couple sights from them since they get decent reviews.
This isn't a sight review, but a discount alert.
They give 30% discount to active and retired military and LEO.

I'm sure someone will mention 1 of the owners was possibly involved with some sort of lawsuit with MagPul that didn't go anywhere I don't think.
Whatever.

Even at full retail, it looks like their stuff is competitively priced.

I can't speak for their scopes but I just mounted a Primary Arms scope in the Swampfox 30mm Independence Mount and was pleasantly surprised. They're nothing fancy but for <$60 I can't find much else that is better for the price. I scooped one for $40 a few weeks ago.

You will not be sorry with your purchase. Have been using the Justice on my 45 build. Holds zero. Like that you don't have to remove sight to change battery'

I got the Sentinel for the Hellcat and the Kingslayer (green) to play around with on some AR's. Maybe my 10.5 pistol.
Both together came out to about $380 after discount.

Where do they stand on 17 year olds defending themselves against antifa thugs? :lol:

Thanks for the info.

This may be of interest to some people:

Blade is an excellent choice for shooters with astigmatism who have issues with dot sights.

It has an etched reticle.

I have a couple of friends that swear by their Kingslayers and Sentinels, so I added the Justice onto my Christmas list for my Canik.

How do you like the Hellcat?
I was looking at it but a decent priced M&P Sub Compact w/ 10 rnd mags popped up.
The M&P does not have a milled receiver though.
I do like the pinkie shelf on one of my M&P mags (1 is flush, 1 is a pinkie mag)
I am in MD and the Hellcat would be sold without mags (The dealer trashes them) and I don't believe there are 10 rnd mags for it?

Slackdaddy · Dec 6, 2020

Is swampfox the actual manufacture? or are they "re-labeled" overseas units?

EDIT:
found what I was looking for. Swampfox is made in China.
Trijicon RMR is designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA

I bought one of their Arrowhead 1x8 scopes from their website. The controls seem well thought out. Illumination has an off between each level of power so you can set it to the level you need and turn it off with one click rather than spinning the dial. throw lever included, glass clear enough for me. Eye box is pretty good, it's taking a bit to get used to for me.

FREEDOM21 code on their website to save 21%

I have no idea how it is yet. I went on travel the day after I got it. So far I have red dot sight and Vedder holster for it still in boxes while I am away.

I am sure it's fine. I have no doubt I'll be able to hit center mass a few times with it.

Let us know after you shoot it.

Do the Hellcat sights co-witness with the sentinel reflex?
How are you liking the Hellcat? and the sentinel ?

Update us

I've had snow on the ground since I got this thing. It's been collecting dust on a nightstand.
Catch me in the Spring lol

Mr.Culper · Jan 20, 2021

Does the sentinel sit low enough to fully co-witness the hard sights?

I was looking at the swampfox due to price, they can be found close to $200
I found this article that reviews it on the Hellcat, while it "does" co-witness, it is about 30% of the front sight is blocked. Not sure how I feel about that.

Swampfox is made in China, Sheild, not sure of where it is manufactured, they did not say on their web site,, that typ meens china?

I never understood the co witness of the sights thing. If you are lining the dot up with the sights, then just use the sights.

The idea of the dot is to be free of sight alignment. Iron sights are the back up.
