Primary Arms GLx 1x MicroPrism with Green Illuminated ACSS Cyclops Reticle

Primary Arms GLx 1x Features and Performance

The Primary Arms GLx 1x is a compact prism optic built for fast target acquisition, durable performance, and practical versatility on rifles and carbines. Designed for shooters who want the speed of a 1X optic with the clarity and etched reticle advantages of a prism scope, the Primary Arms GLx 1x is a strong choice for defensive setups, range rifles, and general-purpose builds. Its compact 2.6-inch overall length keeps the footprint small while still providing a capable and easy-to-use sighting system.

One of the standout features of the Primary Arms GLx 1x is the green ACSS Cyclops reticle. That reticle is designed to give shooters a fast central aiming point along with a more informative sight picture than a basic red dot. Because this is a prism scope, the reticle remains visible even without illumination, while the illuminated green reticle adds extra speed and visibility in a wide range of lighting conditions. Night vision compatibility also gives the optic added flexibility for users building out a more capable rifle setup.

The Primary Arms GLx 1x is built around a practical balance of clarity, compact size, and repeatable adjustment. With a 1/2 MOA click value and 50 MOA of both elevation and windage adjustment, it offers straightforward zeroing and useful adjustment range for a variety of rifle and carbine platforms. Its 20.5mm objective, 18.8mm exit pupil diameter, 4.40-inch eye relief, and 74.8-foot field of view at 100 yards help create a fast and usable sight picture for close-range and intermediate-distance shooting.

Powered by a CR2032 3V lithium coin battery, the Primary Arms GLx 1x offers a battery life rated from 10,001 to 25,000 hours, giving shooters strong runtime for regular use. At 9.1 ounces, it remains compact and manageable while still delivering the solid feel expected from a prism optic. With compatibility for Primary Arms MicroPrism and Trijicon Mini-ACOG mounting standards, this optic is a practical option for shooters who want a compact prism setup with proven reticle design and strong real-world usability.
