Gideon Optics Omega

This is the Omega optic from Gideon Optics, and it is big. It is the end, right? Alpha Omega, this is Omega. If you want the big sight on the big gun like this Canik Rival, This is exactly what you want. Especially for competition use, When you want that big field of view, you're not worried about concealment.

You're not worried about it getting hung up on something, coming in and out of quick access. Safe, you could mount this on a defensive gun, particularly a home defense gun. You could even mount this on a PDW, but I think this is really where it is at home. It's a 22, little over 22 millimeters tall and a 27-millimeter-wide field of view. It's designed so that if you keep the dot within the center two-thirds of that window, You don't have to worry about parallax, especially beyond 33 yards.

Inside of 33 yards, if you're somewhere near the edge where you really shouldn't be, If your alignment is right, you don't have to worry about it at all. It's got 10 levels of brightness. It's available in green or red. And it is available as a 3 MOA dot alone or a 3 MOA dot with a 45 MOA circle around. It's got 90 MOA of adjustment, one MOA per click.

Click 45° left and right, 45° up and down off of center. It works with a 1632 3V battery, and you can access the battery from the top of the optic without having to worry about unmounting. In some designs, In some firearms, you're going to be able to mount this with rear sights as well. But on the Canik here, it is set up purely as the solo sight. I still have a front sight on there, but obviously it can't be used.

And that's another reason that I would see this as a competition-optimized setup. Obviously, this is an incredible gun for competition or fun at the range. And this is going to be an incredible optic as well. It does have shake awake. It's 225 seconds of stillness that will put this to sleep.

You can turn it on and off manually, And again, 10 levels of brightness adjustment, which you're going to handle with these. Nice buttons on the side, no problem. Um, you know how these things work by now. Red dots on pistols are pretty much standard, at least a very standard option some people are Choosing. In competition, it's been a regular mandate, Of course, in the highest levels of handgun competition for decades now, And we usually see them as larger sites.

This is a site, The Omega, that splits the difference between today's carry optics, which are very small, and the traditional very large red dot optics that were on competition Guns. This gives you that field of view to pick up the next target really quickly. Obviously, in these choreographed settings, When you're doing competition shooting, your eyes are going to move to that target. But you're going to need to find the target inside the field of view. And the bigger the field of view, the better in that setting.

That's what the Omega does really, really well. Everything from Gideon Optics, I pretty much find a use for everything in my collection. This one belongs on this Rival. Canik makes a great competition-style gun. Large gun, easy to shoot.

This optic has a large window. It's easy to find the dot or the circle dot, depending on your preference. The Omega from Gideon. Optics.
