The Burris Handgun Scope 3-12x32mm Ballistic Plex Matte Black is a long-eye-relief handgun scope built for hunting handguns. Long eye relief is what defines the category: at 10–19 in at low power, 10–12.5 in at high, you can hold the pistol at arm's length and still get a full sight picture, well clear of recoil.
The Ballistic Plex reticle is Burris's trajectory-compensating reticle, with holdover points giving trajectory compensation out to 500 yards. Waterproof and nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging, with a double internal spring-tension system that holds zero through shock, recoil and vibration. Backed by the Burris Signature Warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a handgun scope need long eye relief?
Because you shoot a handgun at arm's length. This model gives 10–19 in at low power, 10–12.5 in at high of eye relief, so you get a full sight picture from a normal shooting position and stay clear of the recoil stroke.
What's the difference between Plex and Ballistic Plex?
Plex is a clean crosshair with bolded edges and no holdover points. Ballistic Plex adds trajectory-compensating holdover points out to 500 yards, matched to your calibre and bullet weight.
Can I adjust the parallax?
Yes — this is the only scope in the Burris handgun line with adjustable parallax, from 25 yards to infinity. The others are set at a fixed 100 yards.
Is it waterproof?
Yes. It is waterproof and nitrogen-filled to stop internal fogging, with a double internal spring-tension system that holds zero through shock, recoil and vibration.
