Reviews & Ratings for Primary Arms GLx MicroPrism 1x Prismatic Red Dot Sight — 26 reviews — Page 1

If you’re ordering this optic, you probably have experience with RDS’s and you’re wondering if this is a good fix for your astigmatism. For me, it was not. Idk if it’s my eyes or just the nature of the optic, but in certain lighting situations, I get a bit of light “leakage”, for lack of a better term, around the reticle. The reticle looks decent when you get the diopter dialed in. The optic is nice hardware but it’s heavy, especially compared to a micro rds. If you are used to RDS and like them, this is not going to replace them because it’s not a true 1x zoom. Running it with two eyes open is awkward. There’s a fish eye thing going on. If you were running with only one eye open, it wouldn’t be so bad but i couldn’t get around the distortion of the almost 1x fish eye thing with two eyes open. It feels similar to looking through a scope over an RDS (cuz it is). I could see this being a decent option for like a slug shotgun meant for hunting, but not anti personnel defense. Just stick with a holosun rds if you don’t have the budget for an aimpoint.

As an active hunter and shooter, iron sights developed into magnifying scopes then age and astigmatism bore its ugly head. This optic definitely helped. With an adjustable eyepiece and the green lighted reticle option turned out to be a game changer. Especially great for AR type pistols

I love the reticle on this microprism optic. Very fast acquisition, crisp, and pretty clear glass.
Also it’s nice n light, compact lil piece. Put one on my 44 lever gun to take it up a notch from the iron sights. Very happy with it for the price point.

The optic has a little bit of heft to it seems really well made. Sighted in quickly. Very pleased with the accuracy.

Second one I’ve purchased. Clear and push button operated versus SLX model older knobs. Bought adm quick mounts for them also although not necessary. These come with an assortment of spacers and mounting options. Only downside is No cover included

Awesome optic, Prism is amazing and tail prof, if your batteries go out!

Very clear, love etched glass. Using 1x on muzzleloader. Better than Leopold freedom.

Primary Arms hit a home run with this PRISM RED DOT. The New GLX model has a larger view box with the same quality as the SLX, a perfect combination with the SSLX magnifier.

Good eye relief and clear glass. Only thing is it’s slightly less than 1x which doesn’t bother me at all. Love that it can be used without the battery in a day light. Good product from PA!

I think I prefer this type of radical due to the fact that I don’t have the best eyesight. Also, it’s crisp and clear. The radical does not even need to be illuminated for me to pick up the dot. Great product would recommend this to anybody with a little bit of astigmatism.
