The best way to promote this to the gun community in my opinion would be to send a couple of units to Sage dynamic for testing, if it passes his testing and gets a recommendation from him, you will quickly find yourselves hard-pressed to keep them in stock.
I’m super pumped that you guys are getting into this space. There are TOO MANY major players just sitting back on their laurels, content to just coast on their “names” instead of push the envelope and make new, better products
In fairness, sig sauer is pushing the envelope in some of their offerings and people are mostly shrugging at them. And they're a big time arms manufacturer
@@MellowFellowOfYellow true, but how many people do you hear trying sigs tango lineup? The lineup they developed specifically for the DOD NGWS program. I personally have a 4T and an 8T and they're fucking badass, better than anything else on the market in every meaningful way. But you still won't hear people recommending them
If you're talking about EOTech, you're completely wrong lol. Nobody comes close to their holography, and what they have is so advanced that they literally can't improve it due to tech not existing for it. Not to mention since they've finally got out from under L3's monotony, they've released their Vudu product line, are releasing a Hunter/Sportsman product line, and are now looking to advance into the thermal and night vision market. Just because a design stays the same, it doesn't mean they're resting on their laurels
I'm more than happy with my holosun 510c with its titanium hood, solar power, and 50,000 hour battery life. I will definitely look into your optics more. Gotta love the donut of death.
Yeah, I'm content with my 510c as well. His argument about open emitter isn't a relevant negative in my circumstances. But if I were to be constantly in the dirt, mud, water with my rifle, then closed emitter would be appealing. I'm might pick one up to try and have as a backup to my Holosun.
Just took my first defensive rifle one class yesterday and I have a Vortex Strike Eagle 1x8. They say you come away from a class either loving or hating your gear. I love my strike eagle but when I was lying prone trying to hit 300 yards I was having a issue with scope shadow. I tried lengthening my stock and it didn't help a lot and so I wanted to look for another option. I heard Amod from Lead & Steal on a podcast and decided to check them out and I think this optic is going to be perfect for me. Looking forward to getting my red dot in May!
I just ran into this vidro. Then watched vs eotech. Wow!, just WOW!!!. I love my eotech and my aimpoint pro but I'm blown away by the presentation and the confidence of the people that made this product. I wish I would have seen this. Too bad I missed the promo, would have bought two of these. Will wait om a sale when it's in full throttle production. USA!
I like it. I thought I was the only one with those complaints. Love the Eotech for the parallax, big window, and reticle. However no shake awake, and the reticle is there all the time. If you’re not doing CQB, then the Eotech reticle gets in the way more than it helps. Aimpoint, good durability but a single dot and tiny window. Holosun - I liked the 510 for the size and reticle options, but it’s open emitter. The 512C is closed emitter, but the optic view is so “fish eye” bendy as you move your eye around that I can’t stand it. So I’ve settled on the 515 with a Scalarworks 1.93. I’ll try this for sure.
I hope this sight is really good but what he is describing in his "best of" is a Romeo 4T, 4T Pro, and 8T. Tough as hell, crazy battery life - 4 reticles. Motac on/off. I still would give this optic a go. Currently back orderd. We have to give new companies a chance. Every company was the new kid on the block at some point.
This looks and sounds pretty sweet. Any chance you'll be posting videos of the performance under nods? The transparency about your business and manufacturing you guys are bringing is awesome and not always seen in this industry. Wishing you guys the best. I think I'll pick one of these up.
Absolutely. I have a PVS14 I can record with. My buddy also has dual tubes (green phos) that we occasionally play with. I'll try that as well in subsequent reels/videos!
@@LeadSteel I concur with this. I'm building my first NVG gun and have been looking at Eotechs. But would love to give this a try if it looks good passive under nods.
@@Kycirion Nothing beat an Eotech for night vision use or with a magnifier. Having said that the LP-1 looks pretty cool especially for the price point.
so much for trying to set aside extra money this month. This looks great and I've recently been on the fence about picking up an EOTECH but I really don't feel like dropping $600+ right now. $275 sounds much more reasonable right now!
i just preordered this and am excited to get it around march to give it a try. what really sealed the deal for me was not this video or the torture test one, but the favicon on the site lmao. as somebody who works in digital advertising i appreciate that little detail so much. instant buy for that alone. please give whoever did your site a referral purchase bonus or something. they deserve it. edit: might have to buy a 2nd for Pip. tell that kitty hes doing a great job right now!
I lollygagged and missed the initial drop, but just order two LP-1's tonight for me and a friend. Can't wait to test it out! Also, do I spy an energetic armament can?
This is exactly what I am wanting for the new optic on my setup I just finished. I’m really liking the features/specs on the LP-1, not to mention it’s also a very clean looking optic that would sit nicely on a Unity riser. As I’ve been trying to decide which route to go, I was was thinking that I wish someone would come out with something new and innovative, and this definitely is. I hate that I didn’t see this sooner for initial drop, but I’m subbed now and following on IG so I can keep updated. 🤘🏼
On paper is amazing in practice I hope it's amazing glad to be in on the ground floor. I couldn't justify the 600$ for the eotech when my 60~$ truglo was currently working albeit not as awesome. Hope my Promethean outshines my current reticle and makes me decide...why buy anything else in the future.
Very interested. Also love it’s part US made. Just curious what about a titanium hood upgrade? Would shave some weight and an upgrade some would be willing to as an add on. Not sure how much it would save in weight just a thought I had after watching. Will now begin convincing my wife that it’s time for a new optic…. “Oh Honey look I found a rifle I forgot I built in the back of the safe and gosh look at that it needs an optic and it will be all done.”
Hopefully there's little emitter glare and good NV performance. Even better if they could work with PA to get an ACSS version that's not stuck on a 503. If it turns out well I'd be down for a green one.
Apologies, can you send us an email to customerservice@leadandsteel.com? We emailed our customer base after getting hit an emitter snag at customs and LP-1s have just now started to ship. You'll receive a tracking number by the third week of April, and a 10% off coupon code for your wait in the email reply above for any future orders once your LP-1 comes in. Thank you for your patience. We're dealing with some growing pains as we scale.
The manual said rotate right to move POI to the right. From the product picture, I see the opposite. So is the marking on the adjustment dial refers to POI or POA?
Looks great, but how is the light transmission under night vision? I have a few Holosuns for example and compared to my Aimpoint T-2, they look like they still have the lens cap on when viewed under very low light conditions. I'd like to see side by side comparisons between the T-2 or EXPS3 and the LP-1 under night vision.
The NV performance will be key. This is where the Eotech shines compared to most. Daylight brightness in intense light like desert and glass coating tinteding?
@@HawaiiFoodAndFun It's about convenience. When I go to a regular store that has batteries, they sell one CR123 for almost $10. I'd rather not have to hunt or order online for some batteries.
@@HawaiiFoodAndFun Oh no I have a CompM5 for that reason, but it would be nice to have something that's a mix of Eotech & AimPoint. I've wanted an Eotech that just has a red dot for a while.
You sold me one. Come January I'll subject one of these to zeroing using rifled slugs from a Remington 870 SuperMag in the snow and sub freezing temperatures of Maine.
Awesome mate and great to see an all simple optic thats not fancy or made to look fancy ,a good quality optic that will last a long time will do well i think !
Super excited about this. I have a Holosun AEMS, absolutely love the design of both of them. Got the Holosun on my PCC, going to run this on my 5.56. Is there any chance that the early adopters will get it before March? Or is March a hard date?
Great video. I've toyed with this idea but admit, I am years away from being able to do this kind of thing. I would love to grab one of these to test out so can't wait until its on the market. Why no one has started to use 7000 series is insane to me. Yes, its more expensive and harder on tooling, but its about durability. The prices of these competitors are already crazy, might as well use great materials. I feel like the market is saturated with sub par accessories touted as AMAZING quality by those trying to sell it to others as to why they paid as much as they have. A lot of the companies are still riding on their military contracts from YEARS ago. Good for you brother and hopefully I can snag one soon!!!
@@aidanaston4106 those are amazing. The only downside is the price point but in todays society, you usually get what you pay for. In the case of the T2 and CompM5, that’s true.
@@cerebralfirearms aimpoint definitely isnt worth it. Small window, nothing but a simple dot, nothing special. In a high end red dot torture test, the aimpoint was the first to fail very early on during the drop test portion.
I'm sure there are bad shake awake examples, but I've never had a problem with Holosun's shake awake. It's worked flawlessly in the three optics of their's I've had. It would have been cool to have seen that in this optic. That said, nothing wrong with applying the KISS principle across the board which this optic seems to be going for. I'm here for it. Back ordering, now and excited to put this optic through its paces. Thank you!
Thank you! It's not the fact that the shake awake doesn't work, it's that the accelerometer (with the three sources we used) fails after impact testing, thus creating the no wake issue.
Has any testing been done with the LP-1 on the SCAR platform? Im curious to how it holds up to that unique recoil impulse as I have both a SCAR16 and SCAR17 so if i were to pick one of these up it would be for one of those guns.
I purchased one just to support a new company (especially one thats bringing manufacturing to the states). I love competition and would love to see a new challenger to these big companies. Any plans for a green emmiter? I will say thought, I love shake awake and feel it has spoiled many. Looks awesome though 👌
@@LeadSteel When you think about it rationally, shake awake really is meaningless. People should swap batteries every year or two even if the optic is still working. So the need for that definitely seems secondary, especially at the price point your hitting.
Question. Why not make the hood out of the 7000 series aluminum, and the body itself out of 6000 series? Wouldn't the more durable aluminum be a good choice for a sacrificial hood, and make the unit cheaper overall to produce?
7075 has such a high tensile strength that it would translate virtually all the kinetic energy to wherever the hood was connected to the base. Be it fasteners, inlayed shelves, etc., the 6061 would almost always deform, because it's that much softer. Also, our hoods are extruded because 6061 can be safely bent. 7075 cannot be extruded, necessitating a machined operation and thus driving up the cost. Great question 👍
came across this vid by accident...lucky me you deserve massive props for being so transparent about where you're getting the materials from -my thoughts- -ill take japanese electronics over china all day -housing made in Hong Kong....unless QC is garbage, this will be no problem -assembled in USA...full on win -123 battery keeps the variety of batteries i need to stock low...i like that -no 'shake awake'....not a bad feature, but 1 more electronic thing to go wrong the only questions to be answered are red dot brightness and parallax personally i would like to see different reticle options...most of us will never use our rifle for defense past 25 yards so that giant 65 moa circle designed to range enemies out to 200 yards isn't ideal...something with a smaller outer plus a 2 moa dot center so we can use it with a magnifier for hunting would be better imo
Very interested in this red dot… A lot of us chose to use Eotech overseas, however when it came out that they ignored the known issue of thermal shift for 10 years issuing these to service members, screw that company (L3)…
Thank you for pushing design boundaries and not succumbing to industry norms. This optic will reside permanently my 300 blk sbr come January. Looks bomb proof.
Man, it’s sucks being poor. I want this. It would pair perfectly with the 12.5” AR10 I want to buy from you. Guess I’ll have to sell my 18” AR10 for to try to fund this setup.
How about absolute cowitness? Can I just get an aftermarket mount that'll work with that? How's it perform under magnification too? Btw the pricing is fantastic and the features are great.
Exciting! Can’t wait to try it 🎉

came across this vid by accident...lucky me
you deserve massive props for being so transparent about where you're getting the materials from
-my thoughts-
-ill take japanese electronics over china all day
-housing made in Hong Kong....unless QC is garbage, this will be no problem
-assembled in USA...full on win
-123 battery keeps the variety of batteries i need to stock low...i like that
-no 'shake awake'....not a bad feature, but 1 more electronic thing to go wrong
the only questions to be answered are red dot brightness and parallax
personally i would like to see different reticle options...most of us will never use our rifle for defense past 25 yards so that giant 65 moa circle designed to range enemies out to 200 yards isn't ideal...something with a smaller outer plus a 2 moa dot center so we can use it with a magnifier for hunting would be better imo
Thank you for the kind words and feedback!! We'll consider different reticles for future iterations 😎
Is there a code for the advertised 275 dollar price?
Interested in third party reviews
Good to see other options out there
Not gonna lie- I’ve got reservations on this. BUT, I do like the mindset behind this. I’ll give y’all a fair shake when it releases.
When is it coming out? I have 2 on order.
More units shipping in late March!
That looks solid
HOLY SHIT MAN. This is awesome! I will 100% pick one up when they come out and test it out.
Are orders that are supposed to ship in March going to ship soon?
Yup! End of March through early April
@@LeadSteel Mine shows up Monday!
Gah missed their drop on gundeals. I am in on the next one. This is slick as all hell.
Send this to kit badger and sage dynamics for a test.
Please, study the possibility of sending this product to Europe….we are willing to pay the necessary expenses….🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very interested in this red dot… A lot of us chose to use Eotech overseas, however when it came out that they ignored the known issue of thermal shift for 10 years issuing these to service members, screw that company (L3)…
Thanks for the interest!
Every sight has a degree of thermal shift -it's physics.
Great job!
Yeah but like where is the FDE?
That was so well done and to the point.
TAKE MY MONEY! 💸
Looks awesome may have to save up and pick one up
Do you guys plan on making a model that includes a BDC reticle option with the rest?
are preorders put in before Dec 25th still shipping out in March?
Yup! Late March and early April. It's a big batch.
@@LeadSteel thanks for the reply! looking forward to it!
Thank you for pushing design boundaries and not succumbing to industry norms. This optic will reside permanently my 300 blk sbr come January. Looks bomb proof.
@@HawaiiFoodAndFun Heard of them sure but at near $700, its nowhere close to this one.
How durable is the glass?
Sold out! My mans ya'll done good. I'll have to be the pleb that locks in the backorder. Congrats on the successful run.
Thanks man, that's very kind of you. We're humbled by the response. The 2A community is remarkable.
Trying to order one but Checkout Screen acting weird and not loading......
Try it on Chrome? Sorry about that.
Did you guys do a temperature torture test?
Indeed! Thermal drift footage coming soon.
Gotta get sage dynamics to do a review ,
I like your funny words magic man
Is this Made In USA?
will you guys make this in green dot?
Looking like late summer 👍
What was the water rating, you may have said it and I just missed it, thanks.
IPX8 to 10m 👍
Man, it’s sucks being poor. I want this. It would pair perfectly with the 12.5” AR10 I want to buy from you. Guess I’ll have to sell my 18” AR10 for to try to fund this setup.
How about absolute cowitness? Can I just get an aftermarket mount that'll work with that? How's it perform under magnification too? Btw the pricing is fantastic and the features are great.
Nothing absolute for now. But under magnification, it's wonderful. That glass clarity lends well to PID. Thanks for the interest and questions!
Grabbed one, you sound like you know what you are talking about so I'll support
