Just a heads up kids, these have finally arrived, CTCS has them listed in stock for $699. Didn't see them listed at RDSC, Marstar, etc. yet but I expect some of those other P.A. retailers will be listing them soon, I didn't want to wait to try and compare prices so I placed my order already.

The price was definitely more than I was hoping or expecting to pay by at least $100, if I'm happy with the optic I won't mind but a lower price point would make it a bit more appealing certainly.

In Rex's video he mentions them being in the $300 range down south but that was possibly last year, I think I paid around $350 for my 1x and at the time the 3x was projected to come in at a bit more maybe $500 delivered. $700 is at least a couple hundred more then I was hoping they would arrive at.

Looking forward to seeing one in person before I drop $700.

I was a bit sticker shocked as well as I was expecting more in the $500-550 CAD range but I'd waited so damned long that I just went ahead and ordered anyway. Prices for firearms, firearm accessories, ammo, and reloading components have gotten ridiculous the past 2-3 years.

It is possible the other retailers list them a bit cheaper when they get theirs I suppose, but I doubt it'll be $150-200 cheaper, probably more like $30-50.

I see Marstar still has the 1x versions for $310-324 with some showing as new inventory at those prices so I'm not sure why this 3x model has jumped in price so much when it didn't in the U.S., that seems strange.

Your welcome, I just happened to be on their site last night looking at some other optics and noticed they had these in stock and the HUD 3-18's as well at reasonable prices given the exchange rate and inflation!

Looks like they are down to 1 left, I assume Marstar will have some soon as well, we will see what their pricing looks like soon enough,

The 3x I bought just arrived today, I was a bit nervous about the size of the reticle and the hold over and windage dots as the 1x version (9mm Gemini) I have is a bit small to my eyes and the different aiming points (top of chevron, bottom of chevron and the dot's under) are so close that it's a bit cluttered. I was hoping to look through one in person before buying but the way inflation and the dollar is going plus supply etc I figured I should just jump on it and gamble a bit... plenty of people find the gemini 9mm reticle works fine for their eyes so I figured worst case I could re-sell it if I didn't like the reticle on the 3x.....

The 3x looks great!

Nice and crisp easy to pick out all the different hold options, It's remarkable how small it is, just slightly larger then the 1x.
