Watching this 2 years after release.  Very helpful and appreciated :)

He has a face????? What else is he not telling us!?!?

Thank god YouTubers such as your self take the time to make these informative videos !

The fact he pronounces small as “smol” makes me smile to no end.

Now what we need is a 4x GLX full size with the 5x style reticle and amazing glass under 14oz.

This is one of the best videos that explains optics that I've ever seen. Usually they don't show the reticle when talking about scopes but the way you put this together was easy to see and understand. Thank you for an excellent video.

Now that is actually usefull content. It's getting rare these days, but this is definetly it.

I really wish you had done some other comparison combos say 1x vs 3x, and 1x vs 5x. I feel you really lose your perspective or understanding of the magnification when you only compare ones that are close together. Maybe just a still image of all 5 side by side.

You have great production and presentation skills along with concise and meaningful reviews - keep up the good work!

These are great do it all general purpose optics, I own two, 1X and 3X and really love them. The 1X is just really underrated and is absolutely a red dot killer, especially if you have any sort of vision issues. I would argue that you don't really need an offset red dot with the 3X. If you don't want another expense, and more equipment hanging off of your rifle then you can easily train with the 3X to make close up shots. Marines did it with 4X for years. The more equipment and high tech you get, the more logistics and support required.

I can’t believe I just found your channel.  I have a handful of gun tubers who I subscribe to regarding firearms and accessories reviews.  Yours is probably one of the best regarding optics!  I just bought the GLX 2x prism based on your evaluation and my needs.  Two things I’ll add as my go to rifles all have ACOG’s in either TA33 (3x) or  TA31 (4x).

Target Identification - for sure with higher magnification, better target identification.  I don’t compete but use my rifles as tools and I carry a 8x monocular or 10x compact binoculars with me.  This does a much better job of target identification in real world situations.

Close Quarters Work - with ACOG’s and keeping both eyes open you can be effective at very close distances.  And, transitioning to primary and secondary sides is just as effective with prisms if you train to it.


Excellent reviews and I look forward to your future stuff!

Best video on the Microprism line to date. Thanks for your work, keep it up!

The gold standard of optic Reviews. Thank you. Thinking Glx-2x for affordability, usability, simplicity and versatility based on these reviews. Makes perfect sense.

I watched this video a year ago a couple of times, now 2026 I'm back again because it is excellent, outstanding and right to the point with SUPERB comparisons, thanks a lot for sharing your experience and knowledge. And I will be back again to review it from time to time because it is the best review.

people make fun of how I can “over analyze” things, (and its true… I can many times to that to a fault) but you provide all the essential details my math mind craves lol. Thanks man… many subscribers in your future. I hope this brings you many new opportunities. Blessings to you in New York… (from CA).

For my older eyes, the PA 2x has been my preference on one of my ARs.  It replaced the Holosun S510 which I also really like. The 510 found it's way on the PCC.

I would love it if an option of the 3X would be to get the reticle that the 5X has.  Just do not like that stupid donut.  Also, 1 MOA adjustments on the 1X is just too coarse.  This is what stops me from buying that one.

Would live to see an option for etched cross hairs with a 2moa dot on each of these

First off, great face. Second, the 1X is probably my favorite red dot to run period as someone with an astigmatism.
