Designed in the USA and precision-manufactured in the Philippines: the GLx RS-15 reflex sight from Primary Arms Optics was presented at the IWA 2024 and is already available in Europe – from Ferkinghoff International at www.waffen-ferkinghoff.com for 475 euro. Primary Arms' Gold Series (GLx) label is their mid-tier optics line and offers distinctive performance features such as outstanding glass quality and edge-to-edge sharpness, an innovative reticle and proven robustness, at the right price point. In detail, with the GLx RS-15 comes the patented ACSS Vulcan reticle with 250 MOA outer ring that extends outside of the visible lens, and a 3 MOA dot in 13 selectable brightness levels (3 for night vision).
With a larger 26x20-mm window for precise target acquisition and fast reaction times, and rugged 7075 aluminum construction, the Primary Arms GLx RS-15 was specially developed for dynamic shooting, but is also ideal for hunters and professional gun users, of course. It fits the popular C-More footprint for out-of-the box compatibility with a large variety of pistol slides and adapter plates (including SIG P320 X5 Legion and GLOCK MOS models).

Primary Arms GLx RS-15 and the Vulcan reticle – all details
More about the ACSS Vulcan reticle: the outer ring is only visible when the gun is tilted and provides quick information on the point of impact. In fact, it provides a quick reference to where your dot is allowing you to quickly adjust and get your reticle on target and shooters can always see the correct aiming position. Anyway, you can also select a red dot-only mode. (If you prefer so, the GLx RS-15 Mini Reflex is even available in a version without the Vulcan reticle option.)
The 0.5 MOA windage and elevation adjustments allow for precise zeroing and improved accuracy, with a maximum total adjustment range for both windage and elevation of 87 MOA.
The GLx RS-15 is powered by a top-loading CR2032 battery, so that you can quickly change batteries without having to remove the optic. Thanks to Primary Arms' Autolive functionality that automatically shuts the reticle off when set down and turns on the instant motion is detected, battery life is up to 5,000 hours, depending on the brightness setting. The brightness adjustment buttons are side mounted for ease of manipulation.
Featuring an anodized black matte 7075 aluminum housing, the red dot is waterproof, fogproof and shockproof to ensure reliable functionality in any condition and comes with the Primary Arms comprehensive lifetime warranty.
