Primary Arms SLx 1x MicroPrism with ACSS Gemini 9mm Reticle: The Ultimate Compact Optic Solution for Astigmatism and CQB Excellence

Are you a shooter struggling with the common frustrations of red dot sights, particularly the "starburst" or "smear" effect caused by astigmatism? Do you seek a compact, lightweight, yet incredibly robust optic that delivers unparalleled clarity and rapid target acquisition for your pistol caliber carbine (PCC), AR-15, or home defense firearm? The search for your ideal sighting solution ends with the Primary Arms SLx 1x MicroPrism with ACSS Gemini 9mm Reticle.

Designed from the ground up to address critical needs of modern shooters, this innovative 1x MicroPrism redefines what's possible in a compact optical system. It’s part of Primary Arms' acclaimed SLx optics line, renowned for its commitment to innovation, unwavering reliability, and exceptional value. Every SLx optic, including this MicroPrism, undergoes an exhaustive regimen of rigorous field-testing during development. For the SLx 1x MicroPrism, this meant enduring over 7,000 rounds of .308 through a SCAR 17s—a testament to its formidable durability and ability to perform flawlessly in the most demanding environments. This is more than just an optic; it's a precision instrument built to instill confidence and enhance your shooting performance.

Why the Primary Arms SLx 1x MicroPrism is Your Answer

This MicroPrism stands out as an optimal solution for a wide range of shooters and scenarios. If you've ever asked yourself:

• "What's the best optic for someone with astigmatism?"
• "How can I get a crisp, clear reticle without the starburst effect?"
• "What's a truly compact and lightweight 1x optic for my PCC or AR?"
• "I need an optic with long battery life and an 'always-on' capability."
• "Can I find an optic that allows for the use of backup iron sights and magnifiers?"
• "What's the most durable and reliable 1x scope for close-quarters combat (CQB) or home defense?"

The Primary Arms SLx 1x MicroPrism is engineered to provide definitive answers to these crucial questions, offering a suite of features that directly solve these challenges.

Unrivaled Clarity for Astigmatism Sufferers

One of the most significant advantages of the SLx 1x MicroPrism is its etched reticle. Unlike traditional red dot sights, which project an illuminated dot onto a lens that can appear distorted or blurry to those with astigmatism, a prism scope's reticle is physically etched into the glass. This means you get a consistently crisp, sharp sight picture, regardless of your vision. Even without illumination, the etched reticle remains visible, providing a crucial fail-safe should your battery die unexpectedly. This feature alone makes the MicroPrism a game-changer for countless shooters who have previously felt limited by conventional red dots. The clarity it offers translates directly into faster target acquisition and improved accuracy, allowing you to focus on the shot, not the optic's performance.

Designed for Compactness and Agility

When every ounce and inch counts, the SLx 1x MicroPrism shines. It is approximately half the size of Primary Arms' Compact 1x Prism and over 20% lighter, making it one of the most svelte 1x optics on the market. Weighing in at only 7.6 oz with a height riser (and a mere 5.5 oz without), it adds minimal bulk to your firearm. This ultra-compact housing is ingeniously designed to allow for the convenient use of backup iron sights, providing an essential layer of redundancy for tactical situations or critical applications. Furthermore, its small footprint ensures compatibility with various magnifiers, offering flexibility for those times you need to extend your effective range. This lightweight design is particularly beneficial for Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs), short-barreled rifles (SBRs), and AR pistols, where maintaining a balanced and maneuverable platform is paramount.

Advanced Illumination and Unmatched Battery Life

The SLx 1x MicroPrism integrates cutting-edge LED technology to deliver exceptional illumination performance across various lighting conditions.

• 13 Illumination Settings: From dimly lit environments to the brightest midday sun, you can fine-tune the reticle's brightness to perfectly match your surroundings. The highest settings are genuinely Daylight Bright, ensuring your ACSS Gemini reticle remains highly visible against any background, even on glaring sunny days.
• 3 Night Vision Settings: Dedicated low, medium, and flood night vision settings ensure compatibility with night vision devices, allowing for seamless transitions between daylight and low-light operations.
• AutoLive Motion-Sensing On/Off Technology: This intelligent battery-saving feature detects motion, automatically powering on the reticle when the optic is moved and entering a low-power sleep mode after a period of inactivity. This "always-on" capability means your optic is ready the moment you shoulder your firearm, without needing to manually activate it.
• Approx. 29,000 Hour Battery Life: At a medium setting, the MicroPrism boasts an incredible battery life of nearly 3.3 years on a single CR2032 battery (included). This extended lifespan, combined with AutoLive, ensures that your optic is consistently ready for action, minimizing the need for frequent battery changes.

The Revolutionary ACSS Gemini 9mm Reticle

At the heart of the Primary Arms SLx 1x MicroPrism's performance for PCCs is the ACSS Gemini 9mm reticle. ACSS (Advanced Combined Sighting System) is renowned for its intuitive design, enabling rapid target acquisition and engagement without complex calculations. Tailored specifically for 9mm carbines, this reticle integrates multiple features into a clean, uncluttered sight picture:

• Chevron Aiming Point: Provides a precise and rapid aiming point that doesn't obscure the target.
• Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC): Offers intuitive holdovers for various distances, specific to 9mm ballistics, allowing for quick and accurate shots at extended PCC ranges.
• Lead Dots: Designed to assist with leading moving targets, enhancing your effectiveness in dynamic shooting scenarios.
• Ranging Capabilities: While primarily designed for speed in close quarters, the ACSS reticle's design elements can often assist with quick target estimation.

This reticle empowers shooters to achieve impressive speed and accuracy, making it ideal for competitive shooting, tactical applications, and home defense scenarios where quick, decisive engagements are common.

Unparalleled Mounting Flexibility

The Primary Arms SLx 1x MicroPrism package includes a new ruggedized mounting system that utilizes the industry-standard mini-prism footprint. This robust system guarantees unwavering reliability and zero retention, even through heavy use and adverse conditions. Out of the box, this mount offers 8 different mounting heights and configurations, ensuring universal compatibility with virtually any rifle system. Whether you prefer an absolute co-witness with your iron sights, a lower 1/3 co-witness for a more heads-up shooting position, or specific heights for shotguns or other platforms, the SLx 1x MicroPrism provides the versatility you need to achieve your perfect setup. This comprehensive mounting solution eliminates the need for aftermarket purchases, delivering immediate value and adaptability.

Robust Construction and Optical Excellence

Beyond its intelligent features, the SLx 1x MicroPrism is built to endure.

• IP67 Waterproof: This certification means the optic is completely protected from dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) for 30 minutes, ensuring reliable performance in wet or dusty environments.
• Nitrogen Purged: The optic is filled with nitrogen gas, preventing internal fogging caused by rapid temperature changes, guaranteeing a clear sight picture regardless of climate fluctuations.
• Fully Multi-Coated Optics: All air-to-glass surfaces are treated with multiple anti-reflective coatings, maximizing light transmission for a brighter, clearer image and superior color fidelity.
• Wide Field of View: With an impressive 76.5 ft @ 100 yds field of view, the MicroPrism excels in close-quarters battle (CQB) situations, allowing for exceptional situational awareness and rapid target acquisition.
• Generous Eye Relief: Offering a usable eye relief range from 2" to 6" with an optimum 3.6" for the best field of view, this optic is highly forgiving, allowing for comfortable and consistent head placement.
• Precise Adjustments: Featuring 120 MOA of windage and elevation adjustments with crisp 1 MOA click values, making zeroing and adjustments straightforward and precise.
