One might even say a Princess, which is an easy attitude to have when Uncle Sugar is buying your toys. Even at that though, I must admit Uncle failed us a few times with the old \u201cConglomerate Corp gets the contract, and immediately quality goes to crap, and then they offer to fix it for more $$$$$\u201d. Lots more, the old military industrial complex special. But that attitude really started changing just about a year ago with my review of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/primary-arms-md-25-red-dot\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"primary-arms-slx-microprism-review\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\">Primary Arms SLx MD-25.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9730-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" class=\"wp-image-149683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9730-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9730-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9730-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9730-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9730-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9730-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Robust mount<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only did the MD-25 perform, but it also passed odd things like a tracking test better than some $800 red dots. And even if I had been initially skeptical of the MD-25 at a price point of $169.00, I am not now. I kept that optic and put it on one of my training guns. This means it has had almost daily use since, as I had a range in my backyard for most of 2020\/21. This means I can tell you now that it has held up magnificently and is well worth the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9729-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" class=\"wp-image-149684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9729-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9729-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9729-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9729-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9729-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9729-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Simple quick adjustments<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, I jumped at the chance to cover the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primaryarms.com\/primary-arms-slx-1x-microprism-with-red-illuminated-acss-cyclops-gen-2-reticle\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"primary-arms-slx-microprism-review\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.primaryarms.com\/primary-arms-slx-1x-microprism-with-red-illuminated-acss-cyclops-gen-2-reticle?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"primary-arms-slx-microprism-review\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new SLx MicroPrism<\/a>. Prisms, in my opinion, are the weapon of choice for dire survival situations. The difference between a Prism and an electronic red dot is significant. What we commonly call a red dot is an electronic projection of a laser or light on a piece of glass. They are tough, and the batteries do last a long time, but ultimately they are reliant on electronic power. If you have no battery juice, your optic becomes a very expensive monocular with no magnification. Which is to say, useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9728-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" class=\"wp-image-149685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9728-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9728-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9728-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9728-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9728-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9728-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>3 night vision modes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A prism, for lack of a better term, is built like a 1x scope. The reticle is actually etched on the glass, which means it works battery or none. Like an illuminated scope, it does have a battery function that makes the reticle as bright as a red dot. But in dire circumstances, it does still give you an aiming point as any real scope would. The problem with prisms prior to this has been either lack of availability or exorbitant price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9726-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" class=\"wp-image-149686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9726-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9726-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9726-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9726-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9726-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9726-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Daylight bright illumination settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The only two I can remember on the market in recent memory are from Leupold and Elcan. The Leupold was a good optic but discontinued about 7 years ago. And the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.midwayusa.com\/product\/1019798419\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"primary-arms-slx-microprism-review\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\">ELCAN will break your<\/a> heart if you price it. It was SOCOM issue, so I have firsthand experience with it. The 1x to 4x throw lever for magnification briefs well but presented problems. We found in testing (long after fielding), that the prism didn\u2019t always snap fully into place, which meant your zero was WAY off, and I wouldn\u2019t take one if you gave it to me. And I certainly wouldn\u2019t pay $2800 for it, even in Monopoly money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9731-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" class=\"wp-image-149687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9731-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9731-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9731-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9731-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9731-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9731-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>All a growing boy needs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This brings us to the Primary Arms SLx MP. At a price of $249, you get a very robust, very useful prismatic reflex sight. It is remarkably well built, a kind of quality you can feel. In testing by Primary, it survived 7000 rounds on a SCAR 17 (7.62x51mm), which is a notoriously hard recoiling weapon. Putting this optic on gives you almost all the benefits of a red dot, with none of the weaknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9732-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" class=\"wp-image-149693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9732-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9732-1-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9732-1-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9732-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9732-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_9732-1-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First, this is a hard optic to judge handholding it. Like a real scope, it doesn\u2019t quite feel right if you just try and look through it freehand. You might see some scope shadow creeping in, as this is built like a scope. But not to worry. The moment you mount it to a rifle, all of that goes away. Primary Arms has built in a very forgiving eye box, and is attached to some Picatinny, you won\u2019t even notice. One point here, about a prism vs a true no parallax red dot. Could you find yourself in such an awkward position, such as short stocking a rifle, that the scope shadow is a factor? Yes, possibly. But despite what modern rifle training will tell you, that is exceedingly rare to have to do. For all normal shooting conditions, the prism is indistinguishable from a red dot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/PA-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" class=\"wp-image-149689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/PA-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/PA-2-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/PA-2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/PA-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/PA-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/PA-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>In action, velcro strap not pictured.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And then we have the advantages unique to a prism, in addition to the battery bit. Some people with astigmatism cannot see a red dot well. Even if they can see it, it may look oddly shaped. Not so with an etched reticle. An etched reticle is also cleaner, which makes it useful for something besides a simple dot. While some electronic pure optics have tried a complex BDC reticle, it has never really worked out. Enter the Cyclops 2 for the SLx series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"355\" title=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-17-at-12.21.32-PM-1024x355.png\" alt=\"Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism\" class=\"wp-image-149691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-17-at-12.21.32-PM-1024x355.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-17-at-12.21.32-PM-400x139.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-17-at-12.21.32-PM-150x52.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-17-at-12.21.32-PM-768x266.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-17-at-12.21.32-PM.png 1129w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Reticle use (Courtesy of Primary Arms)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cyclops 2 is a Ballistic Drop Compensating reticle, developed in-house by Primary Arms. Normally I am against a BDC reticle for precision work, as it isn\u2019t as accurate as a mildot reticle. On a 1x, however, I will readily acknowledge the BDC is the better choice. None of us see well enough at range to make mil dots superior in this case, and a BDC is going to be \u201cclose enough\u201d as we say in the business. The Cyclops 2 is also unique in that it was engineered to work on a wide variety of calibers and barrel lengths. 5.56 from a 16\u201d,14.5\u201d, or 10.5\u201d, as well as 7.62&#215;39, 308, and 300 AAC. In testing, mine was dead on to the chart for a 10.5 pushing a 55-grain bullet at 300 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SLx MP is an absolute bargain at $249, and I recommend you grab one while the grabbing is good. This is a great value optic and given the supply chain so far this year, probably going to be in short supply.
