Durability – Excellent (5/5): The Razor is comprised of high-quality aluminum and during evaluation took a significant amount of abuse in terms of contact from weapon manipulation and contact to other gear/hardware.There was a slight bluish tint to the glass that is shared by other optic manufacturers, but not to the level as being a distraction to the shooter. This was made all the more complicated when gloves were introduced. It was an uncomfortable placement of the intensity buttons under the shroud, specifically when turning the RDS ON/OFF.
#3 MOA VS 6 MOA USPSA FULL#
The 3MOA dot was not as bright nor crisp as a Trijicon RMR04 in full daylight, but was comparable to an Aimpoint PRO in intensity and was still readily tracked. The ability to see the dot, and the peripheral target area allowed for rapid transitions. For carbine, the added height-over-bore from the rail adaptor made for a perfect fit and put the rounds right on target without any necessary adjustment. Comfort – Good (4/5): With a 28mm x 17.5mm field of view, the Razor was slightly larger than other RDS optics (such as Trijicon’s RMR with a 22mm x 16mm field of view), and was wider than the Vortex Viper.Considering that it came with an included picatinny rail adapter, then the price point is well placed. The Razor does offer improvements in design and materials, as well as a larger field of view than more inexpensive RDS optics of similar purpose. It doesn’t come with the legacy of other RDS optics, such as Leupold’s Delta Point Pro ($519) or Trijicon’s RMR ($419-$546) with its extensive Government contracts, but those also come with the associated intrinsic price tag that can be unrelated to the optic itself. Cost – Good (4/5): At an MSRP of $499.99 the Razor is comparatively priced for a high-end optic.As all its products, Vortex covers the Razor under a lifetime VIP warranty coverage. It should be noted various mounting plates are available by Vortex or other retailers to mount the Razor directly to handgun slides, thus negating the need for a picatinny rail.
