I recently acquired a Gen 2 Kriss in 9mm.

I am looking around for a good, durable, simple-to-use red dot for under $300.

I was handling the Vortex SPARC AR 1... what is your impression? It seems well made, but these things are rather alien to me.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately? You won't find very much in that price range. You might just want to tough it out and save up a bit more.... maybe win a PICK 3 or something, I dunno. Truth is? You simply CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON QUALITY! Either you pay for it up front or you break it and end up buying another cheap-o and you eventually end up spending the same amount. Hell maybe even MORE!

That one is $375 and that was the CHEAPEST.

For quality? I don't have any experience with the Burris. Aimpoint is the brand they have that I trust so the CHEAPEST Aimpoint is $700.

Holosun will fit the bill.

Yes they are good, have had several and still have 1.
 
I have a strike fire, it is good enough for what the vector is, if also co-witness' perfectly with the irons, I also like the fact you can have a red or green dot

It's what I have on mine. They do seem to be good value for the price—the one on my UTS-15 has shown no issues so far with around 100 rounds of 12 gauge slug and buckshot.

Thanks guys, I think I'll pick-up the SPARC and see how it works out. It's on for $279, and if it breaks, I didn't break the bank.

How are you enjoying your Vectors? I opted for black in 9mm, but the white was tempting me... kind of reminds me of a Storm Trooper prop! lol

I'm not a "black rifle" kind of guy at all, but the Vector really spoke to me from an engineering stand point and I'm a big fan of 9mm Luger in Carbine length barrels. It should make a fun range toy.

Why can't I fid this exact same set up with gen 1 folding g stock but in 9mm!?!?!?!??!

I'm havin a ####ing hard time finding one
 
You won't break the bank if it breaks, the best thing about Vortex products is their no-nonsense lifetime transferable warranty.

I purchased a Vortex PST 1-4x scope from the EE. When I got it I noticed some of the illumination settings didn't work. I sent it in and they provided me a brand new scope, the original owner had crushed the tube by over-tightening the rings.

I purchased a Sparc 2 but it didn't work for my Kriss Gen2- 45ACP... not enough elevation to shoot where I was aiming ...At only 50 yards... (like 8 inch below where I was shooting!!)
I though my Sparc 2 was broken, so I called vortex to explained the situation...with their life time warranty (no question asked) they sent me another one...same problem...
I decided to buy a eotech (much more expansive) but, now it's working. Now, my Sparc 2 end up on my CX4 and I love it...

IMO, I think it's normal for a Kriss vector to shoot low, considering the sights/red dot are up really high and the barrel is really low. It's the way the vector is designed.
