1x20

The “1×20” optics configuration typically refers to a compact optical device with 1x magnification and a 20mm objective lens diameter. This configuration is often associated with small reflex sights. Particularly those designed for close-quarters engagements and rapid target acquisition.

A red dot sight with a 1×20 configuration is designed to provide a non-magnified, 1x view of the target. The 20mm objective lens contributes to the compact and lightweight design of the sight. This makes it suitable for firearms such as handguns, shotguns, and rifles where minimizing weight and bulk is crucial.

Red dot sights with a 1×20 configuration are known for their simplicity and ease of use. These sights typically project an illuminated reticle onto a lens, commonly in the form of a red dot or other reticle shapes. The shooter looks through the lens and places the reticle on the target. This allows for quick and instinctive aiming.

The 1×20 optics configuration is popular for applications where speed and agility are essential, such as competitive shooting, tactical operations, and home defense. The lack of magnification provides a wide field of view and allows for fast target transitions, making these sights valuable in dynamic shooting scenarios. Overall, the 1×20 configuration is chosen for its compactness, lightweight design, and rapid target acquisition capabilities.
