Lead and steel is bringing some cool stuff recently but really want to try one of their carbines soon. Their LP-1 is dope, just wish it was cheaper. The introductory price was perfect just as the Pandora was. Then they jacked it up…
I actually paid money for the Pandora. Then they changed the design a few times and pushed the release back 5 months. Then it wasn't for me. Made a video about it
I will try to get my hands on some stuff. Either this year or next is my goal for my own but it’s going to have to wait for me to get some property and a house so I can justify buying them. I’ll report back when or if I do.
@cerebralfirearms have you been able to yet? I'm leaning hard towards the PB3 whenever they restock black or FDE (after October sometime is all they could say)
I completely understand your logic, but I build stuff for what I use it for. If you only have one or two guns, I get why you would think like that. But if it’s for duty, competition, or something of the sort, it’s probably a good idea to purpose build. Larger windows are great for faster target acquisition and the enclosed reticle is perfect for shooting in the rain. It’s a great red dot but I wouldn’t conceal it or anything. I would probably use this one a rifle or PCC if it wasn’t for CO.
I have mine on my pdp pro sd full sized so it’s on a bigger firearm. Looks good glass is very clear clearer than Halosun. I prefer it over a acro. It’s big but I conceal big guns so not a big deal. I like that the optic is taller dot won’t leave the window. Many people conceal carry the acro p2 and the 507 comp which is huge.
Very awesome company with as fast or faster ship times than FCD. Last items I purchased were labeled and out the door in less than 30 minutes. The owners and employees are incredible!!!
@cerebralfirearms yup fastest shipping. And they have a lot of coupon codes you can use all the time. And can't forget the free pocket constitution, Ramen and sticker!
@@JoshMarine81-ze8jyI was in the navy….. I had to relearn a lot about shooting when I got out. I run this for competition and it runs great. It is parallax free. Have a great day. Here’s the manual: leadandsteel.co/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Pandora-User-Manual-3.pdf
While I don’t fully agree with the response belo(or above), it has some basis in fact. Yes, it’s a Chinese made optic but a unique one unlike the many others. I am not a huge fan of the ACRO P2, but do like it a lot. I like the MPS and 509t better. I also think this is a lot better than the plethora of other red dots I’ve ran through this year. Cyelee and Gideon seem like an Amazon optic, and this one seems wayyy better built than theirs. Just an opinion from a guy with all of them.
From my understanding, only the housing for the optic is made in china. The emitter and glass are made in japan and then assembled in the U.S. @@cerebralfirearms
@Aaron-dv7tk they are currently working on making all of it here in the US except for the glass. That would be incredible, even confirmed no price hikes. I thought all of the internals were also from China but you may be right. I’ll confirm shortly.

I agree 100% with you, but it’s still a good price for a great optic.
I have an L&S ARC w/ an LP-1. I have my gripes about each, but overall I'd recommend both. PB-3 is on my list for next pistol optic.
@spamin8r please expand. I’d love to hear your input, it’s what these are for brother.

@HawaiiFoodAndFun I still think you should try it. I understand your frustration but she’s been awesome.
If you have any capability to test under night vision please do. Those buttons look easier to use under NODs.

I dont get why people would want something so big when there are so many great options.

@@cerebralfirearms well said .
Its actually not that big. I saw the acro p2 at cabellas and its not that big imo alot smaller in person

Rooftop defense is the best.

@4RunnerRigatoni 💯. I completely forgot about the coupon codes. Lmao
I was going to buy this but it isnt even parallax free. No go for duty use. Sorry. Was in the Marines and deployed. Not running a shit optic

When tf did this drop? This isn’t some Amazon special is it?
its just another rebranded Chinese crap mailbox clone. There's like 20 now
