Need a IR laser? Start here. Holosun LS321

amzn.to/3OSy0uu (Holosun LS321R)
The holosun is perhaps on the one laser on the IR night vision market where you get what you pay for. Featuring 3 lasers at the cheapest price point, while having functional illum, comparable to the "industry leaders" such as civ I2/A3s and ATIPALs.

I love a laser that doesn't break under the weight of it's own brand name as soon as you take it out of the box.

[@adamdyment9732]

Have you seen this company, zbolt? Out of happy valley Oregon. Theyve got some interesting laser, lights and illuminators. Supposed to be at shot this year. Competitive pricing and American made I guess.

Why can't holosun just make their ir illuminators just a bit brighter?

[@Mrgunsngear]

Mine has been solid; big pro-no battery drain

[@BobBob-il2ku]

That’s hilarious that holosun figured out how to not have battery drain and be Meyers cannot

[@btumminaro]

“The aiming laser market is a mess and is ripe for revolution” nail on the head. I don’t care for any FDA laser based illuminators, 0.7mw just isn’t enough ass for an illuminator. NOTHING in the civilian market is “perfect”. The MAWL is the closest thing to perfect, but it’s favorable qualities die quickly due to its unrealistic price tag. At the end of the day, it’s two lasers and an IR flashlight for $3,000+. I have settled with a Perst 3 and a DBAL D2. Both perform very well and together cost less than one MAWL. Great video sir

[@KidCorporate]

I had high hopes for the Phantom Hill CTF-1 but it really missed the mark IMO. Z-Bolt is supposedly coming out with some decent stuff soon.

[@BrassFacts]

it's really depressing when you look at the price tag of the VCEL emitters... Companies just don't care *that* much it seems.

[@Maximus98351]

If you have a laser only unit you may want to try pairing it with this full power unit. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4PYpWdjetykrtk Can be had on amazon and can use an adapter to fit a surefire tailcap.

[@colint9537]

I know this is an old video but I just wanted to take a moment and thank you and Hop for putting out this amazing information for us for free. You guys have helped me make informed decisions throughout the years and just recently helped me put together my own night vision set up. Keep doing what yall are doing. 🤘🏼

[@Sensorium19]

Dude, I KNOW that intro took a damn year of effort. Badass work. Optic your zero before you go to the range, brother.

[@cdun6969]

This truly helps me. I haven’t gotten night vision yet but I am considering getting my laser setup taken care of and I believe I might actually get this holosun

[@BrassFacts]

glad to help

[@AncientGloom]

Very helpful video. I'd like to get into night vision, but all the gear options are confusing and quickly become expensive. I'll look into getting the LS321 to begin with. Great dog, by the way.

[@BrassFacts]

she actually runs the channel, I just do her bidding.

[@wildcat8598]

Good video. I got into NV last year and got the LS321G and it’s served me well. Been to two classes and trained with some friends less times than I’d like to but the Holosun has done well. Held zero and I’ve gotten halfway decent with it. With rise of people getting NV may be a good idea to start working more on aiming passive anyway lol

[@bass779]

I'm a huge fan of the Holosun lasers so far. The illuminator hasn't impressed me on the 321 though; the 221 with an Arisaka might be the way. I'll report back in Feb after more testing

[@BrassFacts]

from my experience flashlight illuminators are significantly worse past 25 yards

[@bass779]

@@BrassFacts I've got a local range that I can RSO on, range master approved a night shoot with no lights. I can only engage out to 220, but the targets will be in bunkers. Should be a useful test of IR lights

[@Hoplopfheil]

I'm using a 221 and vampire on a gun right now. I do not recommend it.

[@BrassFacts]

@@bass779 it depends how much city backlighting in the sky there is. but perhaps that makes the test better as the illum would need to *fight* the ambient light to hit the bunkers.

[@bass779]

It will be a Malkoff IR 250 on an Arisaka 600; I acknowledge the dumbness of potentially needing another white light.

[@cryowarrior1]

picked one up awhile ago put it on my ak103 build then ran the fuck out the unit and got that handguard and gun hot and the laser still worked flawlessly. Round 1300 rounds and still going.

[@deangullberry5148]

You mentioned the MAWL, as I knew you would, as an option. Funny thing is; Now that they've been out for a couple of years there are plenty of reports of them breaking. Also, While the illuminator is hands down the best on the market, a few review/ comparison videos here on KZbin say that the Holosun as a better aiming laser.

[@BrassFacts]

it might be a better starter option but the mawl is objectively better in performance, not even close. I'm not well informed on the durability/life spawn of the mawl.

[@hodlwise2470]

It's definitely "budget" when you consider it within the context of all of the available options on the market, especially full powered devices.

[@bdubbs]

Look idk about other instruments, but my trombones are all made of brass.

[@tacbear]

Been running the Holosun laser for years ... it has never let me down!

[@petermartin7371]

The LS321G Rocks bro, and the ir light is good enough for CQB. If one wants a super powerful ir light then get the Coyote Reaper® we are talking amazing performance @900 yards😲 😎👍

[@vlaricshard2]

oh hey i just bought a holosun 117IR

[@Hoplopfheil]

Oops

[@Karen9052]

I have this unit and i paired with a km2c and its MORE THAN ENOUGH! People hate on holosun because its chinese but they are making competitive products at a better price.. Kinda a no brainer.

[@Mark13-23]

And a Unity 2 lead mod button to turn on both with one button

[@homerj109]

Getting fancy af with the editing! Great review as always.

[@bravo-kilo230]

Nice intro, I can see the tall laser being real annoying unless you a run high mounts, does it block with a 1/3 cowitness height?

[@BrassFacts]

Nope

[@Swanhub]

The 2 minute intro is excessive

[@Wabaanimkii]

For all you guys who still run A2 sights. put the LS321 on and look down your irons..... I'm not crazy right? Are the controls sitting the same distance apart as the A2's protective ears?

[@adamschneider868]

My question is, if I have the glx 30mm mount will the ls321 be too tall for my lpvo, and would the plx 1.5" 30mm be tall enough to clear it?

[@-jimmyjames]

my ls321g has been quite the tool. never an issue

[@racerdude888]

Mine has been working under duress for over a year. Nice IR laser

[@TheReidbaker]

Good review and I like the advice. For an even cheaper option that is still functional for folks without night vision that want to play with mine or for extra guns I suggest the viridian hs1 ir. Activation is intuitive and like you said brightness is the same. The major downside is it is ir only so you need to confirm by either shooting or looking through your reddot.

[@BrassFacts]

that is certainly cheap. Would need a paired vampire illum tho.

[@foofsamoyed]

More dog content please. Less gun stuff reviews

[@Frostayyyyy]

Anyone know of an aftermarket mount for the 321? Or if it can take one made for a dbal?

What’s the deal with windage and elevation? It seems opposite on mine which way is put the dot right and which is up? Thanks

[@hunterkiller232134]

It's designed to be zeroed at the 3 o'clock position. If mounting at 12 o'clock then the left/right dial is your elevation and the up/down is your windage.

[@adamdyment9732]

I don’t understand the value of a full power laser only unit. Full power illumination yes. Just not sure what the real advantage is without the illumination

[@BrassFacts]

are you referring to something like the perst 4?

[@adamdyment9732]

@@BrassFacts ya. I’m sure it’s fine. Maybe if you paired it with a kiji or one of the zbolt illuminates, but then you might have a divergence issue

[@HaloDude557]

Long range signaling. Useful if you have an attack jet on standby I guess.

[@tylertapp131]

Good stuff. I've been runnin the holoson ls221g. Only difference I think is, it doesn't have a built in illuminator but I run a surefire vampire 600 duel fuel with it. Been workin great.

yes it's *slightly* (we're talking very little) better. I wouldn't worry about it.

Great video, thanks for taking the time and spending the money to produce this content. I own a FP PEQ15 and was close to selling it to buy two PERST4's to run with IR weapon lights to maximize my night capabilities on two different rifles. You saved me that mistake by this video.

[@soiralknarf]

Did you get the holosun instead?

[@carlh4350]

Hop seem to favor his I2. The videos show a slight advantage with illumination over this. I like the idea of slaved lasers. No BS, do you think this ls321 will work good enough on a suppressed 11.5 AR with a 75 yard expectation using a gen 3 wp pvs14? Or should I consider spending more on sometning like a D2 that has a better illuminator? Thanks. This NV stuff is expensive and it's difficult to spend money to try things out only to find they don't work that well.

[@BrassFacts]

this will work to 75 yards fine. The D2 will do it better, but with added cost, and bulk.

[@carlh4350]

@@BrassFacts thank you. And like you said in the video. If I need an upgrade later I can always use this on another gun. Thanks again
