This video tests the sensitivity of the Holosun 507c X2's shake-awake feature.

This review of the Primary Arms SLx G2 ACSS 1x Microprism, also known as the Cyclops, highlights its utility as a battery-less optic with an etched reticle, making it a strong contender for individuals with astigmatism. While offering a generous eye box and compact size, its performance under night vision is poor, and the chevron reticle can be obstructive at longer ranges for a 1x optic. The reviewer suggests it's a viable alternative to red dots for specific needs, particularly astigmatism correction, but not a universal replacement.
