Pistol-sized red dot sights with magnification? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm decades behind the latest tech, so excuse me if this is a dumb question. I see a lot of compact red dot sights on semi-auto pistols these days. Do any of them include a bit of magnification, like 1.5x or so? I took a quick look online and was overwhelmed with options.

Asking because my eyes are getting older, and a little magnification is going to be helpful someday soon.

Some of the guys doing competition shooting are frame mounting their optics with a bracket that reaches around the slide.
