Buy recommendations Dots vs astigmatism (advice request)

Post image

I have a gnarly astigmatism that impacts my ability to use dots. I've tried etched reticle prisms, but the ones in my budget are too bulky for my shotgun. I need something relatively small and low-profile.

I'm considering the PA x1 microprism with the green dot, but haven't seen reviews of it from people with astigmatism. Does anyone have advice on this unit?

I'm trying to keep my budget sub $400, which is why I'm not looking at fancy closed emitters or holographics. I don't have an Eotech wallet.

I have pa Cyclops eye relief is very long and I can provide a picture of you need it,

My advice get the gen with the better moa adjustment the Frist gen had 1 moa adjustments kinda sucked new ones are half or quarter

But I'd recommend it works super well with a magnifier as well

Gen 2 is what I see being sold. I haven't come across a 1st gen. Good advice, thank you!

What magnifier works with a prism? I assume any one that aligns with the optic? I've never used one before.
