The TruGlo TG8432BN Prism delivers precision aiming with its 1x32mm objective and 6 MOA red dot reticle. This prism-based optic provides crisp target acquisition without the battery dependency issues common in traditional red dot sights. The etched reticle remains visible even when electronics fail, ensuring reliable performance when accuracy matters most.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard red dot sights that rely solely on LED projection, this prism sight features an etched glass reticle that functions with or without illumination. The 1x magnification maintains both-eyes-open shooting capability while the 32mm objective gathers sufficient light for dawn and dusk conditions. The prism design eliminates parallax at 50 yards, delivering consistent point of impact across various shooting positions.
Key Features
- Etched glass reticle with 6 MOA red dot for fast target acquisition
- 1x32mm prism design with zero magnification distortion
- Multi-coated lenses for enhanced light transmission and clarity
- Adjustable red illumination with multiple brightness settings
- Waterproof and shockproof construction rated for centerfire rifles
- Standard Weaver/Picatinny rail mounting system
- Integrated lens caps for protection during transport and storage
Field performance centers on the 6 MOA dot size, which provides rapid target engagement at close to medium ranges while maintaining precision for accurate shot placement. The prism construction handles recoil from high-powered rifles better than tube-style red dots, making it suitable for AR-15 platforms, hunting rifles, and tactical carbines. Weather sealing protects internal components from moisture and debris during extended outdoor use.
