This Q&A session with Lead and Steel delves into the design and manufacturing of firearm optics, focusing on their Promethean LP1 red dot sight. Key topics include the trade-offs in optic size and magnification, the obsolescence debate for iron sights on handguns, and the future of advanced optic technologies like auto-calibrating BDCs and thermal overlays. The discussion also covers parallax reduction, sealing optics against fogging, and the development of new pistol optics like the Pandora.
The Lead and Steel Promethean LP1 is a new multi-reticle red dot sight aiming for robustness and affordability. It features a housing constructed from 7000-series aluminum with a 6000-series aluminum hood for impact absorption. The optic claims parallax-free operation, a large viewing window, and approximately 30,000 hours of battery life using CR123A batteries. While the MSRP is $449, a pre-order price of $275 is available, positioning it as a potential competitor to higher-end optics.
