The Primary Arms GLx 2X is a fixed 2× magnification prismatic sight that excels at target identification in medium-range scenarios and facilitates quick dual-eye firing at close-range targets. Many shooters encounter difficulties when using collimators or other similar sights due to astigmatism, a vision condition that causes the aiming point to blur or distort. This hampers precise aiming, particularly when targeting small objects situated at a distance. However, this problem can be resolved by replacing the collimator with a prismatic sight, which has been gaining immense popularity across various shooting communities.

Primary Arms GLx 2X: The Ultimate Solution for Astigmatism

Unlike collimators, magnification prism sights offer a BDC reticle, ensuring a much clearer image without parallax errors. They provide superior accuracy over longer distances while allowing for binocular aiming and situational awareness. The compact aluminum body of the GLx 2X measures only 135 mm in length and weighs 312 g. With a 12 mm exit pupil and optimal eye relief, this prism sight offers a wide field of view, making it ideal for rapid shooting scenarios where time is of the essence. The inclusion of AutoLive motion activation significantly extends the battery life, lasting up to 20,000 hours. AutoLive intelligently turns off the reticle illumination during extended periods of inactivity, immediately reactivating it when the weapon is moved.

The proprietary ACSS reticle of Primary Arms can be used with or without illumination, with 11 adjustable brightness levels. The first three settings are compatible with night vision devices and remain visible when used in conjunction with them. The two highest settings, referred to as DAYLIGHT BRIGHT, ensure comfortable usage even in intense sunlight. By adjusting the backlight intensity appropriately, shooters can achieve optimal contrast between the reticle and the target, enhancing target acquisition speed without straining their eyesight.

The ACSS Gemini reticle is specifically calibrated for 9 mm PCC carbines. Its central portion features a thinner chevron (inverted "V") surrounded by a thicker horseshoe. Below the chevron, there is a precise point scale for applying bullet drop corrections. The result is an intuitive reticle that excels in dynamic shooting at short distances while offering precision for medium-range shooting. The ACSS aiming system is renowned for its simplicity and functionality, making it a favorite among both novice and experienced shooters worldwide.

The second-generation GLx prism sights utilize a robust aluminum mount with key steel components, ensuring consistent and reliable zeroing. The GLx 2X features a mini-Acog mounting base and comes complete with a prismatic sight, a Picatinny rail mount, and three extensions of varying heights.
