John Utah's Review of Swampfox Raider Micro Prism 1x20mm Prismatic Sight
I went with a prism because I have astigmatism and it's a game changer for me since the dot is now crisp. Another bonus with a prism is the etched reticle, so I have a reticle even if illumination is off or fails. Add the build quality, shake to wake, compact design, reasonable price, and this is my favorite optic.
I only found one con and it has nothing to do with the build of this optic - it's the fact that prisms have eye relief. I must have this optic closer to my eyes than a standard red dot. For me, there is no more mounting over the magwell. This can mean not having room for backup sights on some weapons. This is the case with my rifle and the popup sights I was using. There may be another type of rear sight I could use, but I am not too concerned with this particular weapon. However, this optic can co-witness with the Springfield Kuna popup sights when using the lowest included Swampfox mount.
I am so impressed with Swampfox that I will likely buy more of their optics for new builds, or to replace other optics.
