This Primary Arms red dot sight is part of the SLx optics line. SLx optics have built a reputation for innovation, reliability, and value. All SLx optics undergo rigorous field-testing during development to best serve you in any environment.
The Primary Arms SLx MD-25 Gen 2 Microdot now comes with AutoLive, improving the functionality of an already amazing red dot sight. Stretch that already insanely long battery life even further and remove that fear of picking up your rifle and the dot not being there.

The Gen 2 SLx 25mm Red Dot been equipped with the next generation ruggedized mounting system. Everything about these mounts has been upgraded from materials and finish to the design in order to create a mount that will not just clamp securely to your rail, but stand up the rigors of real-world use. Integrated recoil lugs help lock your mount in place against the heaviest recoil while large diameter crossbolts give you significantly improved clamping power and will hold up to significant torque. The included riser is the perfect height for AR-15s and AR-10s, but can be easily removed to for installation on AKs, shotguns, and more.
The SLx 25mm Gen 2 red dot includes the low base, a standard riser, and two different height spacers, as well as appropriate mounting hardware. With just the low base, a central height of 0.96” can be achieved. Add the standard riser for 1.41”. With the riser and thin spacer, your central height will be 1.54”. Using the thick spacer will place the optic at 1.64” height. With these options you can easily configure your optic to perfectly match your firearm and shooting style.

Lightweight and Compact
by Jacob -
The SLX-MD 25 is light, compact, and comes with everything you need to get mounted on your rifle or pistol. No tools are needed to sight in this optic and its battery life is very good. I have had one mounted and powered on for over a year with no issues. This is the second SLX-MD 25 I’ve purchased. I am very happy with this product so far.
Great Red Dot
by Jeffrey
You can see this red dot no matter how bright it is outside, in fact I wish it had at least one setting lower. The only other thing I would say is it would be nice if it were slightly lighter in weight. Auto live works great.
Outstanding

Good optic for the price. No complaints.
One Shepherd Approved - Review After 3 Years
by Pang -
We fielded half a dozen of these since the first generation on our LSW for Force-on force training with MILES-2000 and M200 blanks. We've heard nothing negative about it, except maintenance staff hoping the battery cap had deeper groves. PA customer service was very nice to send us free replacement cap, after one guy lost it in the woods.
This is solved by the Gen 2 product, if anything that can be improved, that is the battery compartment should be moved to the left side, and there seems to be enough space too. Bottom line is, MD-25 is a proven budget red dot that got the job done, day or NV, fair weather or heavy downpour, dust or mud.
Bonus point goes to the mount and height. This paired with Scalarworks T2 1.57" mount will line up perfectly with EOTech G33, and the large enough window will allow BUIS use. Thanks you Primary Arms!
PA SLX MD 25
by Dillard Prestidge
This is the first red dot I have ever owned. I’m 75 so my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be. I bought a new S&W FPC Carbine mostly for plinking. My son told me to get one of these. He has bought a lot of stuff from PA and is impressed with their quality. When it came in I read the instructions and put it on. Went out to shoot it and have never been more impressed with anything I have bought for one of my guns. I own many guns and lots of accessories. I was shooting a 1/2” high at about 1 o’clock with no adjustment. Got right on target wit very little effort. It comes on target fast and hit where the dot is every time. I couldn’t be more pleased. I read up on them and looked at a lot of different brands at much higher prices before choosing the PA. I could not be happier.
Great optic great price.

Perfection
by Jlo -
I love this red dot. It is a perfect fit for many of my firearms.
Durable frame and great battery life!
by Caleb -
The glass is clear and it feels incredibly sturdy, I’m quite hard on my gear and it has held zero and the built in adjustment tools on the caps are great. The dot is clear and not flowery like many other red dots. The shake awake feature is awesome for battery life.
Solid optic
by Thomas -
It's honestly better than I expected. This is my first PA optic and I'm excited to shoot with it. Lens clarity is amazing. The 2moa dot is clear with a little bit of your typical dot diffusion on the lens. The body of the optic and the mount are hefty and well built.
