Good A4/ ACOG backup sight
Got it on sale with 30 $ off so i took a chance. as i had a specific purpose for it.
surprised that having astigmatism and the green recticle is crisp! well constructed , good controls. different hardware to fit your mounting needs.(screws and pic mount) Glass is clear! ease of access for battery...

Gideon Alpha Green Reticle
Notice I said Green Reticle because thats all you get can not switch to the dot only, which would be fine but the brightness goes from bright to extra low. There are multiple levels of brightness yes but when you get to the middle its high than extremely low, so yes outside or when its bright inside...

Not what I expected or what photos show
I bought this optic for the red front lense to match a red and black firearm build.
After opening the box. The Gideon optic is not even remotely red as the images suggest. It looks smoked gray and I see no shades of red when looking at the lense. Where my Holosun i ordered with a red lense CAME WITH A RED LENSE just like the photos. I was led to believe I was getting one thing and either got a wrong product, or the photos of a red appearance when facing a Gideon Alpha is completely false advertising. The Gideon alpha lense is dark and transparent, not red like the photos show. Deceptive photos. Disappointed to say the least. This will not end up on the build it was bought for. Either returning or putting on a different firearm. The optic works. But its still not what the photo shows. I expected a dark red tinted lense.

Would recommend: Yes
Decent little red dot.
For those looking for a budget friendly option, is a pretty good choice. Note that you CANNOT swap between the dot, circle, and circle dot; the optic only has circle dot as an option. I also noticed some warping of the dot if it gets close to the edge of the glass and from certain angles, the dot is cut off by a hair on the bottom. Ive also noticed that the optic chassis is a bit tall, definitely not cowitness, even when directly mounted to slide. I suggest getting suppressor height sights of you plan on cowitnessing whis optic. The top loading battery compartment is a really nice touch, especially since most budget optics have a bottom loading battery compartment.
Pros:
- Quality, good value, smart design
Cons:
- Single emitter, not cowitness height
Would recommend: Yes
Gideon Green Circle-Dot sight
Great quality for the money. The bigger circle helps get the dot in your sight view. Simple to adjust and turn off and on. Fit just right.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Pros:
- Price
- Quality
Cons:
- No shake awake
Would recommend: Yes
Great value for an excellent green dot
In the past I’ve used more recognizable brand names and have been very pleased. A friend showed me his Gideon and I thought I’d give it a try. Works well and has held up to daily use. I really like the green dot and larger circle. The alpha model so impressed me that I purchased three for use on my different handguns so I would face the same sight on each.
Pros:
- Price, clarity, durability
Cons:
- None
Would recommend: Yes
Red dot sight
I bought this red dot for aCZ Shadow2 compact. Fits and works great . IMO the circle is too large and at 7 yds , blocks the target. I would ,in the future, Buy the dot only and not the circle with dot.
Pros:
- Cost,
- Fit, Adjustability, Weight, Colors, Price
Cons:
- Dot Size (large)
Would recommend: Yes

great gor the price
I like that this site is raised like an SRO at a fraction of the price. I have two SRO’s, two RMR’s and several other lesser brands and bought two Gideons to put in range guns. I took them out to the range this past weekend and put 50 rounds through each gun. I needed to adjust the sites to zero in and found that I didn’t need to turn the adjustments as much as I need to for quality sites indicating the adjustments aren’t as fine as more expensive sites. You get what you pay for and these are good for the price.
Pros:
- Cost & Functionality
Cons:
- Quality
Would recommend: Yes
