Hi all,

I got a Glock 17 gen 5 MOS a while ago and I’m looking for a red dot that won’t break the bank.
Has anyone got any recommendations?

Thank you
 
I’m considering the same

EBAY or Amazon
Fancy one of the folding ones
Or maybe just an under slung Lazer red dot
Opinions welcome 👍

I've had a couple from CV life. Cost me around £40 each and both have been ace (two different styles)

Is it an American company? I had a look online but was coming up in $ instead of £
 
They are Chinese. Buy in USD and it converts to GBP. Not had any issues. They emailed me a discount code yesterday for 40% off, I will PM it to you if required.

My two sights are the JackalHowl shake awake, and also the WolfCloak shake awake.
 
I use a Vector Optics Frenzy-S Ultra-Low Weight Red Dot Sight (SCRD-43) fitted onto my G17 Gen 5 MOS using the Umarex adapter No.4 plate (sold in a 4 plate pack) and use same red dot on my Beretta M92FS using the picatinny adaptor supplied with that sight. I've grown a liking for these compact red dots and even changed my 2nd M92FS XX-treme over to this type of sight. All works well on the Glock and looks really neat and tidy. I'm not sure what your looking to spend but it's cost was £62.10 including shipping using a voucher code I found for the Vector Air website. Normal price is £70. The Umarex adaptors cost £29 for the set of 4 though which adds to the cost unfortunately.

Thanks for the reply. I got the vector one for £52 because of the Black Friday sales.

So do you need the adapter for it?
I’m guessing it won’t mount straight on the Glock without it?
