Description
After significant research & development, L&S is proud to bring you The Pandora’s Box!

- 7075-T6 housing.
- Recessed brightness controls.
- 3V CR2032 – capable of 30,000+ hr runtime on various daytime settings.
- Serrations on housing for added grip.
- Standoff around objective lens for one handed pistol slide manipulation.
- Ocular offset to protect glass during pistol/rifle retraction through barriers.
- Beveled leading edge of battery compartment to assist reholstering.
- 3 MOA red reticle.
- ACRO® P2 footprint.
- 7 daylight settings, 3 NV settings.
- Lifetime warranty for original purchaser.

The Pandora’s Box is everything you need in a pistol optic, and then some. Order today to unleash chaos on the competition!
Finish disclosure:
All L&S aluminum components are finished in Type III hard coat anodize because of its surface hardness, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance. Type III adds a 0.003” layer of hard aluminum oxide to the substrate’s surface. This layer is grown via a proprietary, several step electrolytic bath that prioritizes surface protection over all else, and the resultant color is dependent upon the saturation of compounds in the various baths, dye concentration, dye mix ratio, aluminum oxide case depth, starting smoothness of the part, etc.
Housings, sealing plates, etc. may vary in color even within the same batch. It is nearly impossible to have a consistent shade/hue of brown or green, thereby making each PB-3 unique. The photos above are a representation of what you will receive, but it may not be 1:1. Even with the inherently inconsistent nature of anodizing, we consciously selected Type III Ano for surface finish longevity–to date, there is no cerakote (or other painted finish) that can beat it.
Do not attempt to remove sealing plates or disassemble the optical assembly, which is purged, nitrogen-filled & sealed for fog resistance. Any attempted disassembly may void the warranty.

Awesome folks at L&S. I ordered 3 just to support a small American start-up. We need more competition in the optics market. This looks like an absolute winner. Would love to see a outer ring surrounding the dot. Either way, I’m planning on running these piggyback on LPVOs. They seem made for that with the acro size and 30% larger window. Can’t wait to get it guys.

Ordered, can’t wait for these to drop. I’m excited.

Got to chance to shoot it and test it during ORD23 what an amazing optic great window crisp glass built like a tank. I currently own the Acro P2 and 509T cant wait to replace both of them. The LS crew was amazing

500 rounds through p10c that I mounted the dot on with no issues. Dot looks great and glass is clear. Used a plate from aimpoint to mount on my CZ and the pandora mated up with no issues.
Verified Buyer (verified owner) –
Very bright dot, robust build quality. Mounted on an A300 without issue using a Farrowtech mounting plate.
Robert (verified owner) –
For the price and a new product this a great dot. Little bit of blue tint at the bottom of the window and I can see the fisheye/bend at the edges of the glass when transitioning and moving the dot. But overall nothing that would limit functionality. Would recommend as a good closed emitter option for those looking.

Long term TBD, the design, construction and guarantee are top of class. The store credit for the extra wait was a nice touch.

So far so good, Nice crisp and BRIGHT reticle. Solid adjusters that haven’t ever tried to move on me . Would make a fantastic off set dot too.

Sorry but that much money and NO SHAKE AWAKE!!! THATS STANDARD now, even the under $100 RDS have shake awake. A VERY ROBUST PRODUCT, but you’re offering too little for off asking so much, you have to take that into account these days.

Looking forward to this Pandora PB-3 arriving for a review. I have seen only one, but was impressed enough to get one of my own. It was not immediately available when I ordered
but Lead & Steel kept us informed of its arrival, and so far so good – its arriving tomorrow.

As a fan of the acro. But limited in my ability to find a p2 at a reasonable price I’m directly comparing this to a p1 and it’s a phenomenal sight. Bright dot, huge window, great features with the side load battery, oversized buttons, and utilizing the acro footprint is great. I have had no figment or lockup issues in use with my safariland 70 series on my 19x. Stellar red dot will most likely grab more In the future.
