Frequently Asked Questions
What types of handguns is this scope compatible with?
The Burris Handgun 3-12x32 Ballistic Plex is designed for use on single-shot pistols, revolvers, and bolt-action handguns such as the Thompson/Center Contender and Encore, Magnum Research BFR, and similar platforms. Its extended eye relief of up to 20 inches allows safe, comfortable shooting even with hard-recoiling Magnum calibers. It is not intended for use on semi-automatic pistols that require a red dot or slide-mounted optic.
What is the Ballistic Plex reticle and how does it help at longer ranges?
The Ballistic Plex reticle features a standard crosshair with additional holdover hash marks below the main intersection. These marks correspond to specific yardage drops for common calibers, allowing you to quickly compensate for bullet drop without manually adjusting your turrets. It is particularly useful for handgun hunters taking shots at 100 yards and beyond, making the reticle a practical tool in the field rather than just at the range.
Can this scope handle the recoil of heavy Magnum handgun calibers?
Yes. Burris builds the Handgun 3-12x32 to withstand the intense forward and rearward recoil generated by large-bore Magnum calibers such as .44 Magnum, .454 Casull, .460 S&W, and .500 S&W. The scope is shockproof-rated and constructed with high-grade optical glass secured in a rugged, sealed housing — making it a dependable choice for even the most punishing handgun cartridges.
