Primary Arms Optics Releases New GLx 1x MicroPrism

Monday, September 16th, 2024

HOUSTON, TEXAS — Primary Arms Optics has announced the release of the GLx® 1x MicroPrism, a compact and versatile prismatic optic built for optimal close-quarters performance without being affected by astigmatism. Designed as an evolution of the popular SLx® MicroPrism, the GLx 1x MicroPrism offers a range of improvements that make it the ideal solution for shooters seeking precise and fast target acquisition.

Priced at $299.99, the GLx 1x MicroPrism brings several new advancements to the table, including a larger objective lens that provides a wider eye box and improved light transmission. The GLx 1x MicroPrism has nearly unlimited eye relief, allowing users to engage targets effectively from a variety of shooting positions, including non-traditional or awkward angles. This makes it a fantastic alternative to traditional red dot sights, especially for shooters looking for a more rugged and precise solution without the drawbacks of a battery-powered reticle. With 8 mounting options included in the package, users have extensive flexibility to customize the optic’s height and placement on their firearm, ensuring a perfect fit for any setup.

Available in both red and green illumination options, the etched ACSS® Cyclops reticle ensures precise aiming, even for those with astigmatism. Like its predecessor, the GLx 1x MicroPrism has a long battery life, which is further improved by AutoLive® technology. However, this new optic now features low-profile push-button controls, replacing the traditional knob design for a sleeker, less obstructive peripheral view.

“The GLx 1x MicroPrism shows our commitment to innovation and customer feedback. By upgrading the glass, enhancing durability, and providing intuitive controls, we’ve delivered a prism optic that is faster and more precise at any distance,” said Stephen Morgan, Director of Product Marketing at Primary Arms Optics. “For everything from personal defense to competition shooting, the GLx 1x MicroPrism delivers top-tier performance in a compact package.”

UNITY Tactical FAST FTC 4X Integrated Magnifier Now Available

Friday, September 13th, 2024

FAST™ FTC 4X Launches with New Integrated FAST™ QD Lever

BROUSSARD, LA. (Sept. 13, 2024) – UNITY™ Tactical, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, is now shipping its FAST™ FTC 4X. UNITY first previewed the 4X magnifier with an integrated base at SHOT Show 2024, but only just unveiled the new integrated FAST QD Lever at its official launch.

Integrating the mount with the optic shaves weight, increases strength and ensures streamlined functionality with near-zeroocclusion of the primary optic when stowed. The integrated base brings the magnifier up to the established FAST height of a 2.26″ optical centerline from the rail.

UNITY’s FTC (flip-to-center) technology allows for easy stowage when not in use. Just as simple to use, the new integrated QD Lever still allows for one-handed donning and doffing but eliminates any possible snag hazard. It keeps the charging handle side of the rifle completely clear and shaves more than half an ounce off the total weight.

“The new integrated FAST QD Lever makes the magnifier and integrated base a true and complete package,” said Trent Zimmer, founder of UNITY Tactical. “We aim to challenge conventions, so we asked ourselves – does a throw lever always have to run parallel to the base of the mount? It’s a small but critical feature that seamlessly demonstrates our approach to systems-based innovation.”

Designed for use with a red dot optic mounted at the same height, the FAST FTC 4X provides ultimate picture clarity, utilizing the dot in the primary optic as the aiming reticle. This allows the shooter to quickly shift between non-magnified (stowed) and magnified (up/deployed). The magnifier can be mounted on multiple weapons platforms behind a red dot sight or used as a hand-held monocular.

“We set out to build an integrated magnifier and base that expands capability to a 4X power within the traditional footprint of a 3X,” said Mike Roth, vice president of business development. “4X magnification power has historic success within the U.S. Military on primary battle rifles. It pairs well with your red dot while being strong enough to use on its own with an ideal magnification point. With the addition of our new integrated FAST QD Lever, we knew a benefit this magnifier would provide is quick detach, which allows the user to pull it off the rifle for individual use and then easily reattach to the weapon.”

The optical glass provides a clear and durable sighting solution with a fully adjustable diopter. The magnifier has a field of view at 100 yards of 30.1 feet or 9.2 meters. Eye relief is 2.6 inches or 67 mm. Weighing less than 12.0 ounces or 340.2 grams, the adjustment points for Windage and Elevation are flush with the housing, further reducing weight and snag hazards.

The FAST FTC 4X comes standard in black and retails for $710. It is available for purchase now through authorized UNITY dealers and on UNITYtactical.com.
