Primary Arms Optics GLx 1x MicroPrism

Primary Arms Optics is releasing the new GLx 1x MicroPrism optic, a compact and versatile prismatic sight built for close-quarters performance without being affected by astigmatism. Designed as an evolution of the SLx MicroPrism, the GLx 1x MicroPrism offers a range of improvements that make it the ideal solution for shooters seeking precise and fast target acquisition.

GLx 1x MicroPrism brings several new advancements to the table, including a larger objective lens that provides a wider eye box and improved light transmission. Due to its prismatic design, the GLx 1x MicroPrism has an almost unlimited amount of eye relief, allowing users to engage targets effectively from a variety of shooting positions such as non-traditional or awkward angles. This makes it an attractive alternative to traditional red dot sights, especially for shooters with astigmatism or those who are looking for a more rugged and precise solution without the drawbacks of a battery-powered reticle. With 8 mounting options included in the package, users have extensive flexibility to customize the optic’s height and placement on their firearm.

Available in both red and green illumination options, the etched ACSS Cyclops reticle gives you precise aiming and a long battery life, which is further improved by AutoLive technology, which extends the battery life by turning off the optic when not in use. In addition to this, the GLx 1x MicroPrism now features low-profile push-button controls, replacing the traditional knob design for a sleeker, less obstructive peripheral view.

"The GLx 1x MicroPrism shows our commitment to innovation and customer feedback. By upgrading the glass, enhancing durability, and providing intuitive controls, we've delivered a prism optic that is faster and more precise at any distance,” said Stephen Morgan, Director of Product Marketing at Primary Arms Optics. “For everything from personal defense to competition shooting, the delivers top-tier performance in a compact package."

MSRP for the GLx 1x MicroPrism is $299.99, and for more information on this new optic or other products from Primary Arms Optics, visit primaryarmsoptics.com.
