Gideon Optics Valor Mini

The new Gideon Optics Valor Mini is an enclosed-emitter red-dot sight designed for carry pistols. It sits on the RMSc footprint, though it will also ship with a Picatinny rail mount adapter if you want to put it on an AR pistol or use it as a backup sight with a 45-degree offset. But primarily it is designed for slim pistols, and it will fit on all the major guns in the compact carry gun market.

Rob Pincus reviews the specs and features of the Valor Mini. In particular, he likes the enclosed emitter, the shake-awake feature, the low mount (it works with standard-height sights), and how affordable it is – under $300.
