What are the limitations of the Trijicon ACOG TA31-H?

The primary limitations include a short eye relief of 1.5 inches, which requires a consistent cheek weld, and the fixed 4x magnification, which can be challenging for very close-quarters engagements without practice using the Bindon Aiming Concept.
