Frequently asked questions

What MOA size works best for defensive shooting?

A 3 MOA dot splits the difference—large enough for fast target location, small enough for precision at intermediate distances. Most defensive shooters find it intuitive and reliable across typical engagement ranges.

Does the Athlon Midas EDC work on pistol slides?

No. This is a rifle-mounted red dot designed for upper receiver or Picatinny rail installation. Pistol red dots require different footprints and mounting solutions.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?

California requires a 10-day waiting period from when DROS is submitted until you can take possession of the firearm. TacticCAL is your gun store Richmond in the Bay Area.
