I just ordered a GLx 1x and I plan to put it on my A2 rifle. Does the mounts included, include a mount for the carry handle?

And also, is it see through? I would still like to use my iron sights.

If not, a link to the mount I need would be helpful.

I’m excited to try a prism optic again. I wish the GLx 2x had had no knob on the side. It would have been perfect.

Hey! Yes the mount is included and it does have an iron sight pass through, however, you'll need the "Carry Handle Hardware" in order to mount directly to the carry handle. The SKU is PA-CHH

Here is a link to the Hardware- HERE

Thank you! So glad it already has that mount with the optic and I don’t have to wait. I believe I have the hardware kit and if not I’ll order it.

I’m excited to try this optic out. This is my do all rifle and one I would grab should the world as we know it ends tomorrow. It’s why I picked the GLx 1x.

You are very welcome. Thank you for your patronage!  The GLX 1X on a carry handle is one of the best direct mount options out there.  Post a pic when it's mounted please.

Will do! It will be a bit before I get it attached. I’m taking care of my father who is in the last stages of dementia.

I also agree that this might be the best option for a carry handle.

Would you guys ever do a 1x with just the chevron?

I would also love this generation of prism to have the Aurora reticle. I have that in an LPVO and love it.

Would a 1x and the Aurora reticle with a magnifier work? If so that would be the ultimate package.

I got the 10-32x1/2" Carry handle mount but the screw will only turn about 3/4 rotation into my SLX 1x Microprism before stopping. I really dont want to force it and strip the optic or screw, is it supposed to be incredibly tight?

Edit: just went ham and tightened it. Not a fan of just the optic on the carry handle, felt a little too far forward for me and the reticle seemed very far to the right centered over the right wing of the FSB. I put on the low cantilever to move it back a little and REALLY like it, and the reticle is centered over the front sight.

I really need a better can for this setup, the shitty form 1 can from 2012 is just not cutting it these days. Maybe the new PSA can or a OCL Polo K in FDE?
