Guys. Need help. I just got my Gideon Omega dot/circle. Is there anyway to toggle between just the dot or is it only dot/circle only?
Evil4blue@reddit
Just got the green, circle-dot version this past week from 3D. Shipped quickly and I’m pretty happy with the performance of the dot. My only complaint, if you’d call it that it the lines of the circle feel really chonky and the elevation/windage adjustment screws aren’t compatible with the thousand adjustment tools I have in my bag. The slot on the screw is very narrow. Obviously this has nothing to do with the shop and their service, but for $134, I can look past these niggles.
Separate_Way_1084@reddit
Which online store?
Evil4blue@reddit
I got mine from 3dgunman.
Separate_Way_1084@reddit
Thanks for the quick reply. How is it?
Evil4blue@reddit
TBH, I actually really like to. Seems to hold zero well, the glass is clear, circle-dot is crisp. It really does punch above its price-point. We’ll have to see about long term reliability and I wish they had a 6 moa version.
Separate_Way_1084@reddit
On the circle dot which is the multiple reticle, Can it switch to single dot?
Evil4blue@reddit
Not that I’ve found. It’s just the circle-dot, donut of death, reticle.
Separate_Way_1084@reddit
Thanks for the info. I guess for the price, I try it out. Got a few projects going on. So it’s gets expensive. For a range toy, it should be ok
fawther-05@reddit
Shake Awake?
Evil4blue@reddit
Yes, it has shake awake.
fawther-05@reddit
Is this a good option for a 20ga turkey shotty for kids?
radar1225S@reddit
How do you like the circle dot? I’m afraid it’d be too big for my liking. I have the green dot and while green doesn’t really agree with my eyes, I wish the dot was 5/6 moa rather than the 2.
Evil4blue@reddit
I like the donut of death, in general. It helps me aim when I’m on the move. I know, in general, as long as my target is inside the circle, it’s a good hit and I move on. I have a number of Holosuns with the MRS specifically so I can pick my reticle for my situation, but I can buy 2.5 Gideons for 1 507 comp, so missing some features is expected/ok. Honestly, I bought the Gideon Omega as a test run. I put it on one of my 2011s and took it to the range this past Friday. The optic held up well. Zeroed easily and kept zero for about 175-200 rounds. Green works perfectly for my astigmatism, so I try to always go green. I think the Omega punches way above its price point, which is all I was hoping for and it’ll live on my Mac 9 DS for the time being. Is it as good as the SRO or 507 comp, no. Is it as good as the Defender XL or Justice II. Now we’re probably in the similar ballpark…if, and it’s a big if, it runs reliably for more than a couple range trips.
Inner-Mix-1669@reddit
I have the green circle reticle too I just got a few days ago and I’m not sure how my astigmatism feels about it yet. I’m on the fence on trading it for a dot instead. Sometimes it feels blurry sometimes it’s crispy. Did you have to get used to the reticle?
Evil4blue@reddit
No, not really. My astigmatism isn’t terrible, mostly blooming/starburst, but I can mitigate it by lowering the brightness, usually. Green seems better than red for me. Green is always crisper to my eyes, but the one exception is the Lead and Steal Promethean. That reticle is red and is fantastic to my eyes. 🤷
Jamieson22@reddit
Yeah it is tough to pass these up at $135 or so. And they even come with a pic rail mount. I got red dot version for my 22/45 Lite it has done well. Recently ordered a green dot version to go on my P-10 F. Will continue to buy 507 Comps for some guns (have 3 currently) but like these best from the budget options (prefer over Swapfox Justice 2 I have). Even considering swapping an Omega for the 507c I run on my S&W Victory. These big windows start to spoil you.
LengthinessWestern64@reddit
If i did it again, I'd just get the dot. Circle is too big and isn't as crisp and clean as my holosun. Glass isn't as clear either. Still excellent for the price.
radar1225S@reddit
Just what I needed to hear!
justjaybee16@reddit
Yes, the reticle lines are really thick compared to any of the Holosuns i have. I'm using it on a shotgun to see if i really like having a dot on a shotty, so it's not a big deal, but it would be very inconvenient on anything where i was shooting past 25yds.
burritoresearch@reddit
Does it need like a really tiny flat head screwdriver?
Evil4blue@reddit
Yes. It comes with the right tool, but I just tossed it into my misc tools drawer. lol.
MathiusShade@reddit
Hey there-- I experienced the same thing!
I had to file down my screwdriver on the concrete of my shooting range to get it to fit.
Evil4blue@reddit
I happen to have my small tool kit with me and had a micro flathead otherwise, I’d be right there with you.
Potential_Space@reddit
I completely agree with your assessment.
The lines are juuuust a bit too thick on the circle dot, and also wtf... Just make the click adjustment slots normal size like everyone else's!
killadocg23@reddit
I read that last word in your paragraph very wrong !
Hereforgundeals69420@reddit
I like saying that word to make my wife mad lol
Evil4blue@reddit
Lol, your confirmation bias is showing. Ha ha
Cajunsson98@reddit
Thanks for the post OP! For anyone reading, the code works for all flavors of the Omega. (Red or Green, Dot only or Circle Dot)
johndavis730@reddit
Hey man! Was just gonna grab one of these bad boys using the promo code. The code brought it down to $134 but it's not giving the free shipping as well - is that part of the code over now (I know it's been 2 days since this was posted, just wanted to make sure! Thanks!!)
Cajunsson98@reddit
Hey there! Free shipping wasn’t a part of the promo, there is a flat rate $7.50 on these.
johndavis730@reddit
Ahh shit okay my bad! All good the price is still right regardless. Thanks for the reply!!
feriz_@reddit
Any updates on my when Holosun 503 will ship?
Cajunsson98@reddit
My guess is tomorrow, but shoot me your order number so I can double check!
feriz_@reddit
Dm'ed you.
MallSWAT@reddit
Would this be good for my m9a4?
Cajunsson98@reddit
If you’re new to dots, it’s a great option to get. See if you like dots and if you ever want to upgrade, this one comes with a picatinny adapter so you can easily put it on anything else.
MallSWAT@reddit
Okay thank you. I’ve got a severe astigmatism so I’m nervous to jump in with both feet
ruggedrazor17@reddit
I got one of these recently, just basic green dot version and threw it on a G40. The dot is crisp and it survived a couple hundred rounds of 10mm. I hope this company is the next horosun
akmjolnir@reddit
They'll be the next Swampfox, considering who does their development. It's not a bad thing either.
DaKolby314@reddit
What footprint is this?
Freedom-Forever@reddit (OP)
Rmr
Few-Bench6305@reddit
So when they say SRO Compatible they are just saying that the RMR to SRO mount is included?
JuicyStick13@reddit
I’m pretty sure the “SRO Compatible” means, it just looks like an SRO optic (same RMR pattern as well). People call it the SRO at home.
Few-Bench6305@reddit
Same Footprint as RMR
Mounts easily using the same base as the Trijicon RMR.

rjz5400@reddit
I'm pretty sure they use the same pattern for mounting. This, rmr, sro, 507comp, etccccc
Evil4blue@reddit
But also comes with a picatinny adapter.
A_Very_Stable_Penis@reddit
Would this work on an AP5 (MP5 Clone)?
Onlyinmurica@reddit
Mine is sitting on my ap5p. Works great. I used the included rail adapter and have it mounted on a titan tactical single claw pic mount. Pic mount isn't my favorite but it keeps my hand clear when operating the charging handle. Optic sits just above the front sight post so I like it
Freedom-Forever@reddit (OP)
If you're running spec-op raids launched out of submarine torpedo tubes, no.
For most of us, this will do just fine. I really like mine
A_Very_Stable_Penis@reddit
LOL fair enough... any general feedback from the astigmatism-ridden members of the shooting community? I know it's almost always a YMMV thing with these (unless talking about LPVO or prism optics), but some tend to do better than others in general (thinking of the HS510C specifically).
Currently trying to decide on whether to pick this up and roll the dice (admittedly haven't had much luck with Holosun optics) or just go with a PA prism that won't look as cool but I know I shouldn't have any problems with...
ThatNahr@reddit
Everyone’s ‘stig is different but for me the 3MOA red Omega is not great indoors. Outdoors with bright sun, everything is fine, but indoors it is one of the worst looking dots. It’s not a huge deal, though, you learn to shoot with your own eyes
radar1225S@reddit
Yes. The green dot was terrible indoors for me. Much better outside in broad daylight. Holosun 407k in red is much better inside so that makes me think the red Omega may be better for me.
ThatNahr@reddit
I prefer my red 407K indoors as well. Keep in mind the 407K is 6MOA though. For some people larger dot = better looking
radar1225S@reddit
Yep that’s me. I wish more options came with 6 moa dot. It’s about perfect in my eyes.
ThatNahr@reddit
I’d like to try 4 or 5 MOA. The 3 seems okay for me, and the 6 looks good but is a bit large for some things
radar1225S@reddit
I am post lasik and have an astigmatism and the green dot never was great for me. I’m hoping the red dot will be better. For what it’s worth, green 407k was similar. Red 407k is pretty good to me. Vortex crossfire red dot and primary arms slx are fine to me as well. Green just doesn’t really agree with my eyes.
JuicyStick13@reddit
It would, if you add a rail to the AP5. It may be too low for practical use, using the supplied low picatinny mounts. I have a Holosun on one of my AP5’s with a medium height Scalarworks mount.
PewPew247365@reddit
Competition brings out the best in everyone.
For those who missed out the other day. There is shipping on this… about $7.50 for a total of 142.50.
Not the cheapest but it’s available for those who have FOMO.
Freedom-Forever@reddit (OP)
Yeah I didn't read the email right. Apologies for stating "shipped". Would edit if I could
App1eFanBoy@reddit
$152.11 after ship/taxes to Texas
JuicyStick13@reddit
Dang it, they are in Texas. I have to pay shipping and tax. Will wait for one of the non Texas deals to pop up.
Falcon77777777@reddit
Is there a way to get one of these to mount to a TX22 Slide?
JuicyStick13@reddit
Easily if you have the optics ready version or you could use a RMR mount that mounts in the rear sight notch.
Falcon77777777@reddit
Isn't rmr cut different than Rmsc? Tx22 optics ready comes with the rmsc cut I believe. If that's the same, wow my worlds blown open
JuicyStick13@reddit
NVM me, I’m an idiot. You would need an RMSC to RMR plate. They range from $70-$100.
Falcon77777777@reddit
Side quest, this or a primary arms classic?
ancillarycheese@reddit
Bought it at $149 and happy with it. Might get another for the TX22 at this price.
Panthean@reddit
I'm facing a bit of a dilemma with my Omega.
I have a 407c on my ACOG TA110.
I'm very tempted to swap my Omega onto my ACOG. The large window of the Omega is just so pleasant to use, for some reason the dot seems crisper than my 407c.
The only reason I haven't switched yet is because I worry about the Omega failing, simply because I consider Holosun more proven. However my Omega is also working just fine.
I'm really torn by this. I don't know if my concerns are justified,
pewminator36@reddit
Can Anyone Vouch for the NV Settings on these and what they look like under Nods?
1B3AR@reddit
You think people with nods are buying these ..
pewminator36@reddit

1B3AR@reddit
Just had to give some shit

Limited_opsec@reddit
Fuckit, time to finally try one of these "SRO at home". I have a billion RMR mounts and ~~too many~~ almost enough spare PCC builds.
MommaTooted@reddit
Adding shipping for me?
Freedom-Forever@reddit (OP)
Maybe I read the email too quick. Last week I got free shipping on it. Apologies if so
