![]() ![]() So I made a number of adjustments and finally got a pretty decent group. Which wasn’t bad also full disclosure I was shooting subsonic 9mm 150 grain Sellier and Bellot ammo which has been hit or miss for me. Out of the box the Primary Arms Micro Prism was about 5 inches low and 4 inches to the right. The Primary Arms micro prisms have 120 MOA windage and elevation adjustments. If you don’t have a dime for MOA adjustment you likely shouldn’t be buying optics!Įach click is a 1 MOA click value so don’t go cranking on your turret. The only downside is you need to bring your own adjustment tool but that’s an extremely minor thing. The dot adjustment on the prism is extremely easy. So Primary Arms created their SLx 1x Microprism optics with that in mind, good call on their part! Dot Adjustment Obviously, 9mm and 5.56 have wildly different capabilities and thus have much different bullet drop profiles. Bullet drop.Įach reticle has different hash marks to accommodate the normal yardages where each caliber starts to have bullet drop. PA has other reticles notably the Cyclops which for for higher power rounds like 5.56 and 308 Winchester.īut what gives? Why have different reticles for calibers? It’s actually really simple and it boils down to one thing. This particular reticle is specifically for 9mm and it’s called the Gemini. ![]() Let me talk about reticles for just a minute. The nice part about the field of view is it’s 76.5ft at 100 yards. The eye relief range is 2-6″ with 3.6″ being the optimal field of view. The other nice part about having an etched reticle is the illumination isn’t required so if your battery dies your optic still is in business! The prism optics feature an etched reticle so if you have an astigmatism this is gonna be your go to optic. Similar to the Primary Arms SLx MD-25 I wasn’t sure if this reticle was going to be big enough for my liking but once I got the hang of it I’m in reticle heaven. The reticle is probably one of my favorite parts of the micro prism.

I decided to mount the SLx 1X ACC Gemini on my Stribog SP9A1, since the Gemini is a 9mm specific reticle. Even with the riser the Micro Prism comes it at just 7.6 ounces. The SLx 1x Micro prism is an extremely compact optic with a length of just 2.48″ and just 5.5 ounces without the riser. The micro prisms are fully multi-coated optics and are an all-metal construction.Įven the turrets and illumination wheel are made from quality aluminum. The one thing I really like about Primary Arms micro prism optics is the fact that they use really good materials and coatings. Lastly, the Primary Arms Micro Prism is backed by Primary Arms lifetime warranty, which I’ve never had to use but I’m sure their customer service is as solid as their products. The MicroPrism, like most PA optics, come with lens covers. But even if you do leave it on it has an impressive 29,000-hour battery life on the medium setting. The AutoLive motion-sensing on/off technology helps extend your battery life if you’ve accidentally left your optic on. ![]() The PA SLx 1x Micro Prism optics features an ACSS Gemini 9mm reticle, which will we cover in-depth later in this review.ġ3 separate illumination settings included 3-night vision settings and an astounding 8 mounting height options. ![]() There are a ton of articles that will help you determine the difference between prism scopes and red dot sights but because this is a review of a prism scope and not a comparison article we are gonna just hit the pros and cons of the two optics and not do a deep scientific dive.

There’s nothing about this optic that feels cheap or budget right out of the box. I have opened a ton of optics in my life and this MicroPrism optic is extremely well done. Once you pull the optic from its nicely packaged box you can tell it’s a high-quality optic. It’s compact like a Trijicon MRO but is clearly different because the overall body of the optic is the same size whereas the MRO gets larger in the front than in the viewport. The optic really catches your eye because of its unique look. I couldn’t wait so I quickly unwrapped everything in the box to get my hands on this awesome-looking optic. When you open the box you are greeted with the following items:Īs you can see there’s a lot in this box and most of it is individually wrapped in plastic and in then placed in its specifically cut spot in the box.
