1x25

The “1×25” optics configuration generally refers to a compact optical device with 1x magnification and a 25mm objective lens diameter. While the term can be associated with various optical instruments, one common application is found in miniature red dot sights.

A red dot sight with a 1×25 configuration is designed for quick target acquisition. It is often used in close-quarters scenarios. The “1x” magnification ensures that the sight provides a non-magnified view of the target. This allows for rapid aiming and quick follow-up shots. The 25mm objective lens diameter contributes to the sight’s compact as well as lightweight design.

These sights typically project an illuminated reticle onto a lens, commonly in the form of a red dot or other simple shapes. The shooter looks through the lens and aligns the reticle with the target, facilitating fast and instinctive aiming. Red dot sights are popular among civilian, law enforcement, and military users for their versatility and ease of use.

The 1×25 optics configuration is often chosen for firearms like handguns and shotguns, where a compact and lightweight sight is desirable. It is well-suited for applications such as home defense, competitive shooting, and tactical engagements where speed and agility are paramount. The simplicity and effectiveness of red dot sights with a 1×25 configuration make them a popular choice for shooters who prioritize rapid target acquisition without the need for magnification.
