@MARSH1
Can we get an AR15 pre-order before general sales pre-order? BTW, its June 1 today! :) |

I just want stats on the 3x so I can decide if I want the current Slx 3x or the new one.

Preordered one and an American defense mount to test out, will likely get a second if it’s as good as expect

View Quote Is that the micro dot? I have a couple of them. |

View Quote How did you get yours so quickly? I thought they weren't shipping until August?? |

Can someone help me understand why Primary Arms insists on adding the auto-on/off "feature" to optics whose battery life is already measured in years?
It literally makes the product a worse optic than it would be without it. Because it adds a needless new point of failure (motion sensor failing to detect motion means optic doesn't come on) for a "benefit" that doesn't actually matter. I'd pay extra for a version of the optic that removes it. It's like if I sold you a car with a pressure sensor in the seat that didn't let the engine start unless it detected you sitting down. If the sensor fails to register you sitting in the seat, you can't start your car. I could market it as a way to save gas, and I could assure you that the sensor is perfect and will definitely never read a false negative or have any technical problems ever. But just... why? |

For anyone coming to this thread at a later date, MARSH1 addressed my question in the other thread.
Basically this prism optic takes a lot more power to illuminate than a standard red dot. And if left on the daylight bright setting, the battery would drain out quickly. |

Just FYI and learn from my mistake, there is a “company” out there that goes by Cariot Tactical that claims to have them for sale but after you pay ask for a “refundable” registered mail fee or they will not ship

When will the 9mm Gemini version of the GLX1 be hitting the market?

Has anyone had difficulty obtaining a 100 yard zero with this scope due to the 1 MOA adjustments?
Thanks |

If you’re lucky, you’ll be close, if you’re not lucky you’ll be an inch off. It’s just math. I still can’t wrap my head around why they went with 1 MOA adjustments. It’s why I didn’t buy a few of them. |

So you have all the info this is what I posted about it in another thread. "The choice to make the click value 1moa was done because of space, reliability and manufacturability. Because of the compact size the pivot tube length/pivot distance is very very small. In order to achieve less than 1moa of click value the jacking screw would need to be a extremely fine pitch which does present some manufacturing constraints and possible reliability issues. The 1moa click value insures reliability and proper tracking. While we are working to try and achieve 0.5moa click values it is a long way out and we have not found an instance where 1moa adjustments has not been a high enough resolution of adjustment to properly zero and make accurate shots at short and long range distances. In this instance reliability, consistent manufacturability and size out weighed the 0.5moa click values, given we have not seen that to be necessary to perform well, for its intended use. |

Nothing annoys me more than when a company tells me as a customer what I don’t need or don’t want. Or what I don’t understand.
I’ve owned optics with 1 MOA adjustments. I hate them and will never own one again. Consistently being off bothers the hell out of me. Some of us are not “good enough” kind of people. Do I “need it?” Of course not, but knowing it’s off is irritating. I’m not new to this. If you can’t make it with 1/2 MOA at the very least adjustments, ok, but I don’t want your product then. I like PA, so please don’t tell me what I want or that now you’re making “good enough” your benchmark. I don’t know one person at the club who didn’t make the face when we realized it was 1 MOA adjustments. This was a miss, please don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining. |

View Quote Didn't mean to come across that way. What I meant was MRW did a good job of explaining why you won't ever me 1 inch off as you posed above. Yes you can be 1/2" off. It was that worst case that we used in the decision process. I added the other comment to explain why from a design and manufacturing standpoint the decision was made. We went with .25 MOA in our 3X Micro Prism because we expect it to be used at greater distances than the 1X and knew 1MOA was not precise enough for it. It is always a compromise when you are trying to hit a quality/price point design. |
