I recently bought a new pistol that came with a Vortex Viper, which was unfortunately faulty (worked intermittently). I sent it in for a warranty claim and they sent me a new one in a sealed box with accessories.

I don't currently shoot competition, but would like to get into competitive shooting when I eventually relocate. So do I try to sell it for $200 ($175?) and buy a better red dot if I ever need it (Venom?), or do I hoard the one I already have?

This is new territory to me as I only buy, never sell. Oh, I'm also in a commie state.

I have a couple venoms. Prefer my sig kilo 7, but its on a rifle, not sure what youre shooting.

It'd be on a Canik TP9sfx. It's a full sized competition style pistol based off of the Walther PPQ.

The pistol came with rear iron sights that bolt right where the red dot plate goes.

Edit: The question is more, do I keep it since I already have it, even though I won't be using it any time soon?

I would. I have spare optics laying around. Never know when youll accidentally buy a new gun and a spare would come in handy

True. Do you happen to have any vipers? If so, how do you like it compared to the venom? My biggest complaint about the viper is that you have to remove the optic to replace the battery.
