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 have Holosun, EOtech, Sig Sauer red dots, and this has the clearest reticle out of all of my close range optics. Seems extremely durable, haven’t used it yet so idk if it will hold zero, but I like the look and feel of it. Being able to push in on the QD lever and turn the opposing knob to get a nice and tight grasp on a picatinny rail is a great touch. I like that this also has every modern feature like lower 1/3rd, qd, shake awake, clear glass, just a nice product overall. It says assembled in US on the box, but the parts are probably from China, who the hell knows. I paid $299 for mine, would rather have this than any other red dot on the market.

    Package arrived sooner than expected. The optic arrived in amazing packaging, so amazing in fact it was hard to pull the cr123 out of the foam. The optic has no visible scratches of defects, and the reticle works as expected. Can’t wait to run it through some drills.

    Hands down in my opinion, the best optic to run on a rifle. The reticle is clear and very crisp. Glass is very clear. Feels rugged and built for heavy duty use. Definitely recommend.
