The first one most people think of is that shooters with astigmatism can see a prism\u2019s etched reticle without the halo or flare they get with the reflected dot of reflex sights. The other big checkmark on the microprism side of the ledger is you can see that etched reticle whether it\u2019s illuminated or not.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, reflex sights are generally lighter by a couple of ounces (or more, depending on their size), but microprisms can be magnified where a red dot is strictly a 1X optic. Oh, and microprisms also have diopter adjustments that let you fine tune their focus to your particular eyesight.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primaryarms.com\/primary-arms-slx-1x-microprism-with-green-illuminated-acss-cyclops-gen-2-reticle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Primary Arms SLx 1X Gen II MicroPrism<\/a> gives you all of the benefits of a prism sight in a compact package that works well on any long gun. And Primary Arms packs it with a range of mounting options so that it works for virtually any shooter.<\/p>\n<p>The SLx 1X MicroPrism is available in two models, illuminating its ACSS CYCLOPS reticle in either red or green. If you\u2019re a fan of red reticles, go for it. But green light is about six times more visible to the human eye and given that Primary Arms prices both versions the same (<a

With the ACSS reticle (which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trijicon.com\/products\/details\/ta31f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some ACOGs use<\/a> as well) they\u2019re incredibly adaptable, well-made and damn-near bomb-proof.
