I’ve got a hefty gift card for Cabelas/Bass Pro. Thinking I might use it toward putting an optic on my Scorpion. I have pretty bad astigmatism, so, most red dots don’t work well for me. Thinking maybe a prism sight. Only thing is, it’s tough to find a prism in 1x with most being 3x magnification. I think 3x is impractical for a 9mm.

Do any of you guys have an optic on your Scorpion (or other 9mm carbine) that has worked well for you? Anyone with astigmatism found a red dot that doesn’t blur?

Thanks,

-Breck

I have the 3x version of the spitfire on an ar15, it's nice.
i run an aimpoint pro on my UMP 45 rifle, but i don't have astigmatism.

I like the vortex prism scope and i have some astigmatism. It's nice that you can turn down the brigtness when its dim to decrease tree effects of it.

I think Leopold also made a prism scope.

I have some of that astigmatism too. I hated my eotech and sent it back when the buyback was going on

I've got a couple MROs and really like them. At the right setting they don't have the starburst that annoyed me with the eotech

Primary Arms Cyclops. I'm going to put them on more than half a dozen shotguns and CQC rifles/PDWs, some with tip off 3 x magnifiers, the shotties not. The modified ACSS reticle is awesome, I have two 1-6 versions on my AK 74s and I give 5 thumbs up
