Burris pretty much defined handgun optics. While others didn't see the point, Burris was busy designing and testing and producing scopes that were rugged enough to withstand the severe and unique recoil generated by magnum handguns. Burris soon earned the reputation as "the only handgun scope to consider." Today, Burris handgun scopes are better than ever boasting fully multicoated optics throughout every scope. Burris lead the way with the first variable power handgun scopes, most powerful handgun scopes, and the first with parallax adjustment for precision long range and short range shooting.
Ballistic Plex for Handgun Scopes
The new Ballistic Plex reticle now is specially formulated to assist handgunners with their unique challenge associated with more lofty trajectories. Because of a much more complex set of variables for the huge range of handgun cartridges from the .223 to the .375 JDJ, and from 4" barrels to 16" barrels, space in this page can hardly begin to illustrate the myriad of methods to utilize this very handy feature. The charts below illustrate two examples on opposite ends of the spectrum how the Ballistic Plex can facilitate maximum accuracy over the practical range of various cartridges.
