Summary

If you only remember one thing from this podcast, it’s probably how good Mike Love, new guest to the podcast and range instructor here at Vortex, sounds with his perfect radio voice. Anyway, in addition to Mike, Adam Maxwell joins Jimmy and Mark to discuss the “Wild West” world of red dots on pistols. With no convenient standard to adhere to like our beloved AR-15’s with their “Mil-Spec” parts, there seems to be about a million and one ways to mount a red dot to your handgun, thoughts on proper technique for their application and opinions on reliability or viability of red dots in competition or duty use. These guys also touch on the history of red dots’ application on pistols and some of the common mistakes people make when transitioning from using the traditional irons to a red dot sight, being such a relatively new technology to most. As always - let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation podcast by asking us on any one of our social media platforms and using #VortexNationPodcast.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Vortex Nation podcast brought to you by lovers of hunting, shooting, public lands, the Second Amendment and Good Food. All right, Vortex Nation, I'm very excited to kick this one off now for a couple of reasons. One, we're going to talk about
0:24.3	pistols, which we talked a lot about rifles in the past and now we're going to talk about
0:28.8	pistols specifically. We're going to be talking about red dots. I think red dots are awesome. I'm also super

0:38.7	the podcast. It is Mike. He's sitting across the table for me and just wait. Don't say anything just yet, Mike. He's sitting across the table for me. And just wait, don't say anything just yet, Mike,
0:45.0	because I want to amp this up a little bit.
0:46.6	Mike has, quite possibly, the greatest voice for
0:52.7	for podcasts ever. So if you're planning to listen to this today, actually you might even want to wait and just till you're about ready to go to bed and
0:59.8	let the smooth buttery tones of Mike Love put you to sleep.
1:05.0	Just Mike Love sounds good.
1:07.0	Yeah.
1:08.0	When I say it.
1:09.0	Mike Love, he could be a radio DJ.
1:11.0	I can't even live up to the hype you guys are giving me right now.
1:14.0	So we do have... We might even get a lot more female listeners, Jim.
1:19.4	We might. You could be our ticket in.
1:21.9	One never knows
1:23.0	Uh, man, he does have the best radio voice.
1:27.0	That's so true. Mike might end up with a few female visitors
1:31.0	exactly. The more raspy nasally voice visitors after this. Exactly.
1:33.0	The more raspy nasily voice on the mic now is Jimmy,
1:36.0	and then we have Mark next to me as usual
