Do you find that the dot in your red “dot” sight is more like a smear or even a series of several small dots mashed together? If so, a 1X prism optic with an adjustable diopter, like the new Blade from Swampfox Optics, may be just what the doctor… er, optometrist, ordered.
Blade is the mission-driven 1x prism scope dedicated for home defense and law enforcement. Blade’s revolutionary Bullet Rise Compensating reticle compensates for optic height over bore at just 5, 10, and 15 yards when mounted on an AR-15. Available with red or green illumination, Blade’s etched reticle appears black when illumination is off. Shake ‘N Wake motion-sensing auto on/off saves battery life and is perfect for home defense. Blade is an excellent choice for shooters with astigmatism who have issues with dot sights. When you need speed and precision at in-your-face distances, trust the Blade.

Too bad their optics are made in China.
Not many optics are made in the US. But there are a few.
I’ll stick with Trijicon and EoTech.
Comes with the corona reticle standard
