Nice to see someone that has machinist knowledge and or background, slow is fast, It's hard to explain to someone that if you walk through a project in your head first you can save yourself a lot of time.

I wish I could say, "That makes things go planned" but sometimes if it can go wrong it will. All good, I have a video where I broke a screw in the slide of a Glock G19, and then the ensuing work to make it right. Thanks for watching

I ordered a new Swampfox Sentinel (Green ) Shake N Wake Manual Brightness today I purchased my Son JB A used Hell Cat and a Swampfox Sentinel Red He really can hit the distant target at 25 meters. I have had my Hellcat for about two years now and it's my favorite cant wait to Zero my Sentinel and see how well it shoots with the new sight installed. Thanks for the Review and walk thru of the mounting of the SwampFox Sentinel to the Springfield Armory Hell Cat.

Glad to pass on a little info to a fellow shooter. I've added 2 more SwampFox red dots to my line since this video. I believe they are a good company with very good products. Thanks for watching and commenting. I use an Alien Gear "CLOAK" OWB holster as my daily carry, I'm faster with Appendix, but my work is lots of squatting and bending and that makes it uncomfortable.

Great video. I would only add that the tool provided by SwampFox gave me a scare. I needed to use a handled Torx driver to get a positive bite to back the factory screws out.

SwampFox has a "screw Kit" with many sizes of screws that maybe needed. about $20, its worth it. Thanks for watching

@@jesseawiten8480 Good Afternoon, I'm not sure of what you are asking. When sighting in, I use a benchrest at 15 yards. I want the bullet impact to be the exact same spot as where the dot was when the trigger was pulled. Does this answer your question? Thanks for watching

The waterproof pad is too large for my Hellcat. Can I install without it?

Sorry for the delay, working a turn around, I think its best to have it on the optic, Are you running the Sentinel? I just looked over mine and it is slightly smaller than the red dot

@@PaPaDsRangeTimeWatts Yes sir it’s the sentinel. The gasket was a bit larger and would not line up with the holes. I just installed it without it since I don’t plan on shorting it in the rain. Lol. Time will tell. Thanks for getting back to me.

Um... I'm pretty sure that the auto adjust Sentinel is not 'shake and awake'. I just ordered one from the manufacturer website, I decided the 'always on auto' was better than the manual 'shake and awake', unless their website is wrong...

You are Correct, I have 4 of these in different models, just got a little confused on the model I was speaking of. Thanks for the feed back, I don't want to give wrong info. I have had much success with these Red Dots.

I just installed mine with the use of purple (222) Loctite, but I'm worried the screws might come lose. I didn't soak the screws, as recommended by Brownell's, but I did wipe them down with an alcohol cleaning pad. Am I good to go, or should I reapply?

I've had mine only a few months, but it's going strong. I contacted Swampfox about a concern and they offered a warranty repair or replacement, if I did have a problem. The 100% warranty is a real deal. Reach out to them for this.

With the waterproof cover can you still co witness with the iron sights?

Yes, its a very thin shim and does not change the co witness. I'm not a fan of having to remove the red dot to replace the battery, but it should last for years before I have to address that. Thanks for watching.
