How Freedom Gorilla Compares
Why experienced customers consistently choose Freedom Gorilla without getting lost in specs.
* Orders placed before 2 PM. Excludes most dropship items.
I bought this for use at the range/EDC. Window is large enough for fast acquisition, but still able to comfortably conceal. I enjoy cycling thru the different reticles and even with astigmatism, I don’t mind the red coloring- it is crisp. The cowitness isn’t as clear as I’d like but you’re still able to use the iron sights with the red dot- just need to practice. Overall- best red dot for the money you can slap on an Sig GTO. I don’t regret buying this at all. Bye bye now.
I got this optic for my Springfield Echelon full size and it is awesome great combo. Thank you guys for the videos you put together also
As always i love you freedom gorilla
Overall after having it on my Glock 45 is nothing but positive reviews. The dot is crisp and maintained zero very well after putting 100s of rounds down range. Super durable and can rack the pistol with the dot if needed. Window is big and clear.
