JGPlank's Review of Burris AR-1X CQB 1x20mm Prism Red Dot Sight
Purchase from Dvor.com a sister company of Optics Planet.
I have various reflex red dots from cheap to fairly expensive, and always wondered why I saw a star burst instead of an actual dot. Come to find out I have an astigmatism (basically, your eye focuses at two points, instead of one).
This prismatic sight reflects light internally differently than a red dot "reflex" sight does. In turn, the dot and reticle are clear as a bell.
The glass lens is etched, so you see a black reticle and dot even without battery power.
It does have a window for eye relief, unlike a reflex red dot, but I can live with that for a clear dot.
You can also focus the sight (like a scope) unlike a red dot. The glass is very clear.
Seems like a true 1x, and it is easy to shoot with both eyes open..
All in all, I really like it.
