geekier@reddit

Same code works on the red reticle version as well

[-]

Had it in my cart this morning, accidentally cleared my cart when I was checking if the discount applied to two items combined, and then it was sold out when I went to add it back 30 seconds later. Dammit.

[-]

kungfushun@reddit

Got one for my MPX.

[-]

ReclaimUr4skin@reddit

Went to do the same just now, looks like you got the last one.

[-]

kungfushun@reddit

Sorry to hear that. Did you try the red one? That’s the one I went for.

[-]

nubbinator@reddit

Code also works on the SLx 1-6x24 Nova LPVO bringing it down to $216.74 shipped.

[-]

TricksOfTheTrey@reddit

Thank you!! Purchased!

[-]

BrokeShooter@reddit

Holy!

[-]

Bloodline01@reddit

Is this a good optic to blind buy for my first AR? I have a minor astigmatism that isn’t so bad with my red dot on my pistol.

[-]

Winner_Pristine@reddit

I have the original version of the primary arms 1x prism and it is fantastic. Been using it for years (since it came out) and still happy. I recommend it.

[-]

Bloodline01@reddit

Good to hear, just purchased it

[-]

Blundaz@reddit

You are not going to regret it. Make sure you set the diopter properly for your eye. The PA 1X is a home run.

[-]

Stoopidmunky223@reddit

FWIW I own 3 of the SLX 1x prisms and 2 of the 3x SLX prisms. I love them. I use them for guns I don't have an optic for or don't want to drop trijicon or eotech money on an optic for.

They're fantastic and are pretty much the best bang for the buck prism out there.

[-]

GatterCatter@reddit

Prisms are the gold standard for stiggys

[-]

Aka_Heisenberg3@reddit

I have right astigmatism as well and this optic works great!

[-]

Foxxy__Cleopatra@reddit

Dayum, at only like $35 more OTD than the smaller SLx1 at Simmons, this is a crazy value proposition.

I have 4 of the SLx1's, and one of these new GLx1's and I'm impressed, the glass quality seems to be noticeably improved, and the quality on the SLx1's were already pretty good to begin with.

[-]

nope_noway_@reddit

Is the FOV better?

Like the optic can be further from your face?

That is my one gripe with the SLX that things got to be right up on your eyeball

[-]

LegendActual@reddit

With the SLX 1x? I've had multiple Gen 1 and Gen 2 and none of them are even remotely like that except the 3x and 5x versions.

[-]

nope_noway_@reddit

Yes slx 1x…. I have 2 and they are both like that…

It’s why you see so many of them installed on the very rear of the receiver on AR 15s .. just not a great look

[-]

roostersnuffed@reddit

Are you sure it's in focus?

Eye relief isn't really applicable with the 1x. I can see the illuminated reticle in mine from across the room.

[-]

nope_noway_@reddit

Yes… I mean, I can see it, but it ends up looking like you’re looking through a straw… unfortunately unfortunately it is not a true one X like a red dot or this wouldn’t be an issue things get slightly distorted

[-]

roostersnuffed@reddit

Thats weird. You might have a defect of sorts.

[-]

nope_noway_@reddit

Def not.. I have two of them and they look identical. It’s just how they are.

[-]

TheWildestNoodle@reddit

Tbe rear end of tbe optic that you look through spins to adjust how the picture looks. You should be able to see clealty pretty much anywhere on your upper with the adjustment of that lens.

[-]

LegendActual@reddit

I feel like I've never seen any but the 3x or 5x that far back. I have my Gen 1 at the front of the receiver and they have worse eye relief than the Gen 2. I had the Gen 2 on an Attero mount on an AK which is like another 3" further away than that.

[-]

M4ndoTrooperEric@reddit

Eye relief** and i do not have this issue with my slx1x. My slx1x is something like 5-7" from my eye since I have a 5" magnifier in front of it

[-]

nope_noway_@reddit

With the SLX?? IT def needs to me close… at least for me… looks goofy mounted this way

[-]

katherinesilens@reddit

This is definitely not the prevailing opinion. They should have tons of eye relief. Post a pic? Maybe yours is fake or defective?

C_does has some excellent optic reviews. Here's his slx footage, do you not get the same?

[-]

M4ndoTrooperEric@reddit

I can't post pics in comments on this sub otherwise I would.

Are you have issue getting clear picture out of the optic or you just see black and a small picture?

[-]

Buzz5aw@reddit

How does it magnify and what magnifier are you using?

[-]

konzy27@reddit

I use an Sig Juliet Micro 3x with my GLx1 and it works great. Love the vulcan reticle and it stays nice and sharp under magnification.

[-]

M4ndoTrooperEric@reddit

Apparently the bot may have deleted my comment since I linked Amazon.

I use the Tacticon Falcon 3x flip to side magnifier. I paid $60 new 4.5 years ago. On Amazon it appears they're $90 now but I'd highly recommend

Foxxy__Cleopatra@reddit

That's the case with the 3x (ACOG levels of eye relief), but the 1x has like 30" of eye relief it's a complete non-concern.

[-]

JohnnyBoy11@reddit

It makes me very naseaus to look through for some reason. It seems to be even less true "1x" than the slx and looks even more compressed. Maybe that has something to do with the unlimited eye relief?

[-]

Foxxy__Cleopatra@reddit

It sounds like you just need to turn the diopter knob on the eye piece.

[-]

BrokeShooter@reddit

I’m going to be that annoying dude and say if you have the cyclops looking slx, that’s a gen 2, not a gen 1. Having said that, I completely agree with you. I thought the SLX had a cloudy image, much worse than in an SLX nova, but the Glx image is so good, comparable to razor iie. The only shitty thing about it are the buttons. I wouldn’t be opposed to a slim rotary dial on top of the optic with intermittent offs. I highly recommend the Glx over the SLX, and at this price, no brainer

[-]

Gorge_Lorge@reddit

Dammit. Missed it

[-]

tcc9mpl@reddit

Holosun HM3X under $140?

[-]

akmjolnir@reddit

Can someone explain the difference between the SLx and the GLx?

[-]

OzempicDick@reddit

These are worse than the slx

[-]

mrhorseshoe@reddit

Do these things work with magnifiers?

[-]

PoliteRAPiER@reddit

Can you magnify it? Sure but it's not ideal. The problem you'll likely run into unless you happen to have the perfectly mishapen eye is that you have to set the focus on the optic with the diopter as well as the focus with the magnifiers diopter.

What will likely end up happening is that you'll have either a less than ideal diopter setting on the prism optic by itself in order to compensate for the addition of glass from magnifier, or less than ideal settings on the magnifier when it's set behind the optic. Which to an extent kind of defeats the purpose of the magnifier since in most cases it's to increase capability precision over distance. Hopefully that makes sense.

Kind of nature of the beast but either get the magnified prism and deal with constant 2x, 3x, 5x while having a secondary 1x red dot or stick with a 1x prsim.

[-]

mrhorseshoe@reddit

Thanks for the explanation. Probably best to just get a fixed 3x prism then.

[-]

No_Artichoke_5670@reddit

They require a bit more fiddling to get setup than red dots, but they look great under magnification. You have to get both diopters dialed in together and separately, I instead of just the magnifier diopter if you're magnifying a red dot. Once it's dialed in, you're GTG.

[-]

mrhorseshoe@reddit

Okay, thanks. So I have to adjust the prism diopter every time I engage/disengage the magnifier? That's pretty annoying.

[-]

Ok_Imagination_649@reddit

Have the SLX, put the magnifier in front of the prism optic like a NOD scope. Best if you have magnifier that can center via dial adjustments. I have Romeo Juliet 5x I put on to zero my SLX for finer tuning.

[-]

Zune2423@reddit

Was able to use same code to purchase the GLx 2x, 257 out the door. Best price I have seen anywhere so far

[-]

Traditional-Hat-952@reddit

How's the 2x vs the 1x?

[-]

blackjoker4077@reddit

It has twice the magnification!

[-]

Farva85@reddit

Great optic and a great deal on it

[-]

Limited_opsec@reddit

Wow, a contender enters the ring vs Simmons.

The winner of course is always us.

[-]

pskindlefire@reddit

I've ordered from them last week and yes, they also fuck.

[-]

swootah23@reddit

This or wait to see if they ever restock the EXPS2 on PSA (highly unlikely 😭)

[-]

GoingToSAsoon@reddit

That was most likely an inventory dump, it was way below dealer price. We missed out on it.

[-]

swootah23@reddit

I will never forgive myself lol. I stared at it for a good 20 mins right after it was posted. & once I finally decided to pull the trigger… oos… fuck man

[-]

xTheHybrid@reddit

Take the roll on this , I just bought one for $270 from Simmons this week 🥲 but it’s super nice

Barry_McCockinerPhD@reddit

It’s great but I wish it was the red one…

[-]

geekier@reddit

Here ya go, same code works.

[-]

Barry_McCockinerPhD@reddit

Order placed 224.99 after no tax and free shipping

[-]

Limited_opsec@reddit

Dang, what state? I was surprised they hit the general sales threshold in WV already, this place seems new.

[-]

Barry_McCockinerPhD@reddit

Live free or die

[-]

Limited_opsec@reddit

Ah figures, shame that historic place is surrounded by wannabe redcoats now.

[-]

MP5K-PDW@reddit

NICE

[-]

PoliteRAPiER@reddit

Great price! Bought my Red GLx just over a month ago direct through PA with mil discount for +$30 shipped.

[-]

angrynoah@reddit

code also works on the SLX 1x

[-]

Guava_Poppa@reddit

In for 1!! Thanks Op love the green so much easier on my eyes than red.

[-]

DiscoWookie2@reddit

Autolive was the dealmaker for me when this popped up on Simmons just a little while ago. I swapped from the holosun AEMS to this and have no regrets. I've seen some other commenters say that you can't mount this farther forward and it looks silly mounted at the rear, which it does. You can move this optic forward without too much of an issue, however you will have to adjust the diopter a fair amount and you'll have some slight fish eye effect. If you were interested in this little prism, this is definitely the BIN price
