Promethean LP-1.
The Promethean LP-1 was developed under the L&S Central Ohio Research Division [CORD] to meet the uncompromising reliability standards of professional end user teams. An overbuilt 7075-T6 housing is paired with a user-replaceable crumple hood that surrounds crystal-clear Japanese glass and patent-pending AuraWake circuitry.
AURAWAKE.
AuraWake™ is CORD’s patented, reliable utilization of shake-to-wake technology. Competitor shake-to-wake optics will auto shut-off after a set number of hours to conserve runtime, and a motion sensor reactivates the reticle once movement is detected. However, motion sensors may exhibit unreliability if damaged during impact, fostering a subsequent equipment failure upon weapon deployment.
To prevent catastrophic aiming system failure, CORD Instruments is proud to implement AuraWake™, a new partial shake-to-wake system that ties the motion sensor only to the circuit of the 65-MOA ring.
Following 5 minutes of non use, the LP-1’s outer CQB ring will “sleep,” yet maintain the 2-MOA dot on at all times. This provides a constant, action-ready aiming reference that cannot be interfered with upon motion sensor failure, while significantly increasing runtime.

I recently acquired the Lead & Steel Promethean LP-1 and was incredibly impressed. The packaging it came in was nicely done and the overall build quality is excellent. The machining, window size, glass clarity and reticle are exceptional. The reticle is both easily daylight bright and remarkably crisp, even with my astigmatism. I personally don’t have any experience with the high end optics like Eotechs or Aimpoints, so I don’t have those to compare with, but I believe that the LP-1 punches WAY above its price class. If the long term durability is there, and as long as it stays below the $500 price point, the LP-1 will easily be my go-to optic for almost all my red dot oriented rifles. Plus, it just looks freaking cool!
The only reason I am not giving this a full 5 stars is because, on my particular unit, the elevation adjustments are near impossible to discern; there is little to no tactile feedback when rotating the dial. The windage dial is better, but it too is not nearly as tactile as I would like. This is in no way a deal breaker, it just made zeroing a little more frustrating and time consuming, as I could not tell how many clicks I had turned the dial. All in all, though, I am incredibly happy with my purchase and it will most certainly not be the last LP-1 I buy!

Give this optic, company and employees 5 stars. I would give more but it won’t let me. The social media manager absolutely sold me on this optic and the company is just fantastic. Would have loved more stickers but hey. 10000/10 would recommend.
