After 25 years of trying to find the perfect optic I’m using a red dot and carrying a prism on my kit for the rare chance I need one.  Why do I need flip to side or zoom or levers?   90 plus percent of the time a red dot is the answer.  If I need magnification I can add  it with a QD mount.

You carry a magnifier with you and add it as required? I think this answers your question of why one would want a flip mount or a lever to swap lol. Personally I'd rather have 3x or 4x 90% of the time, and honestly with my LPVO I'm at the 4x or 6x almost all the time.
The 1-4 prism is interesting to me to save space and weight and still have a true 1x.
Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer

That was me asking around about 1-4 prisms. There is very little information out there on the options on the market. Looking forward to seeing the user feedback on the Apex Vapor.

It’s an interesting concept and I think one YouTube video didn’t give it high regards. I was hoping to see more reviews and more people taking about them.
