Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different reticle modes on the Gideon Mediator optic?

The Gideon Mediator optic features three distinct reticle modes: a standard single red dot for precision aiming, a simple red ring for faster target acquisition, and a combination circle-dot reticle that balances speed and accuracy.

How does the simple ring reticle compare to the standard red dot?

The simple ring reticle is designed for faster target acquisition, making it easier to quickly find your aim point. However, it sacrifices the pinpoint accuracy offered by a standard single red dot, which is better suited for precise shots.

Can the Gideon Mediator optic be used on both pistols and rifles?

Yes, the Gideon Mediator optic is designed for versatility and can be mounted on both handguns and rifles, making it a flexible choice for various firearm platforms.

What is a Stern Defense magwell adapter used for?

A Stern Defense magwell adapter is used to convert an AR-15 platform firearm to accept 9mm Glock magazines. This allows for easier and more reliable feeding of 9mm ammunition in an AR-15 build.
