The Primary Arms GLx 1x MicroPrism – PA-GLX-1XMP-CYCLOPS offers all the speed of a red dot with the precision and clarity of a prism optic, making it ideal for users who demand performance, especially those affected by astigmatism. Its etched ACSS Cyclops Gen 3 reticle provides holdovers, ranging, and windage cues, and remains visible even when the battery is off.
Powered by a CR2032 battery, the optic includes 13 brightness settings, including 3 night vision-compatible levels. It also uses AutoLive® technology, shutting off when idle and instantly waking when motion is detected—preserving battery life up to 25,000 hours.
The rugged body is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, ensuring shockproof, waterproof, and fogproof durability. A modular mount system offers eight mounting heights, allowing you to dial in the optic’s placement for ARs, AKs, or other platforms.
