Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with Phantom Defense’s customer service dept?

I know this doesn’t even seem real, because I’m not sure how this gets past QC, but I just received my order from Phantom Defense and I am missing 10 rounds from my order. I ordered a 50ct of .300blk slow papi rounds. I just emailed them to see how to proceed, but I’m honestly just baffled how this happens.

If you can notice from the picture, the foam inside the box only shows 40 indentations from the bullets. I’m worried they’re going to think I’m lying, but I think the 10 missing foam indentations is pretty good confirmation that I’m not up to any funny business.

Please let me know if you guys have any experience with their customer service.

*EDIT* - Phantom Defense already responded to my email and they’re going to take care of me, in a way that’s more than I could have asked! As long as they follow through with what they just said in email, they earned a returning customer.

Guys, I know I’m a dumbass for not understanding this. I’ve watched every YouTube video possible about zeroing pistol red dots, and I still don’t understand. I am indeed a dumbass.

Anyway, I’m an okay pistol shooter, but I’m trying to get a deeper understanding of the relationship between my irons and my dot.

I was at the range yesterday zeroing my dot from a bag, and I have it so that my impacts are hitting where my dot is aimed.

That’s all good, but when I have my dot aimed at the center of my target, my irons are not lined up with equal light on both sides. When my dot is centered, my front sight post is off to the right, it’s nowhere close to equal light. When I have my irons lined up for equal height and equal light, my dot is off to the left.

I don’t believe my irons are off from the factory. I have to imagine this is user error. I do have an iron sight pusher, but again, I don’t think that’s the problem here. I think I’m a dumbass with a lack of understanding.

——————————————————————————————-

Now, onto the co-witness, lower 1/3 co-witness stuff. I think I understand this even less. I have the FN Reflex XL, which has some pretty low profile iron sights, as you can see in the 1st picture.

With my dot zeroed, my dot is all the way at the bottom of my sight’s window, how it shows in the 2nd picture. It’s lined up like a co-witness (I think) but I’m not sure if this is correct, especially considering the iron sights on the pistol are low profile. I would love if I could have it so my dot is centered in the window, but when I do that, my irons do not exhibit equal height. My front sight post is higher, exactly how the 3rd picture exhibits. If I move my dot so that it is centered in the window, and the irons are equal height, the point of impact is way low from where my dot is aimed.

Like I said, I know I’m a dumbass, I’ve watched every video I can, it’s just not clicking in my head. I’m not sure if anyone can rephrase this information so that it’ll click in my tiny brain, but I figured it’s worth a try. I don’t have any friends that are more experienced shooters than me, so I don’t have anyone to ask for help IRL.

I’m sorry for the word salad, but I just hoped to explain everything thoroughly so that if someone tries to help me, they understand what I’m trying to express.

Thanks guy, and I appreciate the infinite wisdom from this sub and other gun subs.

Great range day! These targets are 200yds out and I’m using my 11.5 Geissele/LMT “pistol” with a Polonium suppressor.

P.S. Yes, I know my emissary is backwards.

Happy Sunday range day gents!
