Glen Gilmore's Review of Primary Arms The SLx 1x MicroPrism Red Dot Sight

First let's talk vision. Need a prescription for close in (reading, computer, handgun sights) Need a little bit of correction for distance and have astigmatism that makes RD sights look a coma. All due to normal aging eyes. Shooting without glasses, prisms have been the best solution for me and the form factor and features of this PA micro would have made it the next great thing for me if...it had been capable of both the abilities advertised by PA. After MANY counterclockwise revolutions the diopter I was able to get a clear reticle. I should note that just before it cleared up there came a point where the un illuminated black reticle looked like it had "specks" in it. Never had that with other prisms but it did clear up in the end. So...advertised ability #1 achieved, it works with astigmatism! Advertised ability #2 and the dealbreaker for me was that PA says It works with magnifiers because it's a 1x prism with exceptional eye relief. Followed instructions to adjust magnifier and 1x prism. Worked at it for hours. Scoured the internet for advice and should note that it seems to NOT work for more people than it does work for. Returned with disappointment. I love it and hate it at the same time LOL! If you need to magnify it for your use, buyer beware. IF YOU JUST NEED AN AMAZINGLY COMPACT MICRO WITH A GREAT RETICLE AND GLASS THAT WORKS WITH ASTIGMATISM THIS IS A 5 STAR OPTIC!!!
