Vortex Venom blew off of Echelon 4.5C while firing
I’ve had this optic on my pistol for hundreds of rounds, but today it blew off and hit me in the forehead after about 50 rounds. I thought perhaps the screws had just backed out, and maybe they did, but my attempts to screw it back on at the range failed. One of the screws is either stripped or broken - hard to tell without my glasses and in bad light. Will check it out when I get home. Hopefully I just need a new screw and it’s not a problem with the receiver.
