A mundane handgun can be transformed into a DVC (Diligentia Vis Celeritas aka Accuracy, Power and Speed) fire-breathing handgun.

Diligentia Vis celeritas is a way of life

Vortex optics is fast becoming the ‘go to’ brand in both the South African and international optics market. The company is now setting its sights on the handgun market, with the release of its new Red Dot sight. We received the Vortex Viper VRD-6 from Whylo Distributors for testing and review, in order to establish if it really is a game changer in the handgun market.

General information
The Vortex Optics brand was established in 2002 by Dan and Margie Hamilton. The Hamiltons, who were not newcomers to the optics industry, owned and operated a Wildbirds Unlimited store from 1983, which predominantly sold optics for outdoors enthusiasts. Dan Hamilton became very involved in the general optics design, believing that consumers deserved high-quality, tailor-made products that were both affordable and extremely rugged. Thus the Vortex brand was established. Vortex produces a multitude of optics, including spotting scopes, rifles-scopes, red dots, rangefinders, binoculars, monoculars and tripods. Product development is headed up by Sam Hamilton, who oversees all design aspects personally, including prototype construction.
