Primary Arms Classic Series 24mm Mini Reflex Sight - 3 MOA Dot

Bought it for a pistol build, but its living on a 1-8 scope. Wanted to try that set up for a long while. I love it. Faster than flipping a magnifier. Just another budget friendly optic from PA that looks good blacked out, functions well, brighness is ok, can be left on for a few years, and has a lifetime warranty. I would like to see the side buttons not stick out as much and would also like to see this night vision compatible. Otherwise great lil dot. Hey PA, whens the Vulcan reticle coming on this dot???

The price was too good I got 3 for my handguns. The glass is clear and the optic is quality.

This is very definitely an inexpensive red dot sight. I’ve seen clearer glass than on this one. You have to have a 1.5mm Allen wrench to make any windage or elevation adjustments, and you can not change the battery without removing the sight from your firearm. But, if it actually works well and holds its zero over time - then I will keep it on my FN 509 SL Edge.


Mr. Dale, it was good to speak with you, sir. We are sorry to hear you were unhappy with your purchase. A return has been started and we'll provide a shipping label as well.

Overall construction seems good, installation was simple and red light is bright. But I don’t have a dot in my sight picture, it is a terrible squiggle of a shape composed of several random dots of red light centered roughly in the middle of the scope lens . I’m aiming at my target and not focusing on the sight , both of my eyes are open. This is not my first red dot sight. Something is off with the dot image I believe.

Goes really well with my Springfield Hellcat.

This red dot is truly an underrated optic. Very clear glass and brightness settings that don't get washed out when you turn the brightness up. It comes with a low profile 1913 pic rail adapter for the RMR footprint so you can use it as a direct fit or mount using the 1913 mount. I currently have 3 mounted on my rifles as 45 degree canted offsets. The PA Classic Reflex is sleek and holds zero on platforms using .308, 7.62x51 and 5.56. 9/10 would recommend. Would give it a 10/10 if it had an auto awake. I don't need that feature for how I am using it, but I would imagine that others may need that feature.

I have to say I am impressed. I buy red dots and review them and out of all the ones I have tried this has been my favorite. Had a little problem with the delivery, had an empty box arrive called customer service and was taken care of asap. Love the company and their products along with pricing and sales they have. Keep it up primary arms you just made a customer for life

I'm really impressed with how well this works, considering the price.

Overall this red dot is a good deal for it's price. Super crisp dot, rugged design and simple controls with an automatic shut off after 12 hours.

My one real critique are the windage and elevation adjustments being super touchy. I am using this on a 22lr pistol and zeroed at 10 yards, and even at this range, a 1/10th turn caused a 2 Inch shift in PoA. What makes this harder is that there is no tactile feedback like with an RMR where you can feel the clicks.

For a plinker, this is a good dot, but do not recommend for anything other than a range gun.

As others have noted, it's pretty meager in bright daylight. Still readily picked up, but it would be nice if there was a "one-higher" brightness level to make it clearer in daylight. Overall, another win for PA. The RMR cuts were clean and mounting was easy. Held a zero like a champ, even without click adjustments. Solid optic for the price.
