Lead & Steel Introduces their NEW Promethean LP-1 Duty Grade RDS
Lead & Steel is a relatively unheard-of developer of optics and “other cool stuff too.” Recently the company announced the introduction and availability of their new Promethean LP-1 Duty Grade red dot sight which features a 30,000-hour battery life, options for a standalone dot or a CQB reticle similar to the EOTech XPS lineup, and a durable design featuring an extruded aluminum “crumple” hood to make it truly “duty grade.” This new optic is available for pre-order now at a special introductory price and will begin shipping in Q1 of 2022.

- User-configurable circle/dot and red dot reticles (2MOA dot, 65MOA ring + dot, 65MOA ring only).
- Powered by CR123A cell for 30,000hr continuous runtime w/CQB reticle on setting 5, battery life up to 50,000hrs with 2MOA dot only.
- Always on unless manually turned off; “set and forget” design.

- NV capable with two dedicated nighttime settings.
- IPX8 waterproof rating.

So far, everything we’ve seen on the Promethean LP-1 RDS looks promising but obviously, a new product from a relatively unheard-of company will need to be tested out by the firearms community at large before we can assess its capabilities. However, with its price point, I wouldn’t mind testing one out for myself if we can expect its sale price to be right around where it is now occasionally. You can currently backorder the Promethean LP-1 RDS for a price of $274.95 until Q1 of 2023, after which, the price will go back up to $350 (the current list price for one of these is $449.99). Let us know what you think of this brand-new red dot optic in the comments below.

The video is essentially an advertisement for Holosun and Sig red dots.
I get the need to market your new business and product, but don’t pretend you invented the wheel.
Eh. Give me near aimpoint levels of NV settings, and we'd be really interested.
I have nothing against the Holosun emitter derived red dots from an electro-optical engineering point of view. But the amount of derived OEM spinoff just makes my head spin, and makes spare parts sourcing a PITA.
