Apologies to your wallet lol. But thanks for watching.

@@4MRRanchdo you think the SOMO ngal will lose it’s current co-alignment overtime. I have a “spec precision ” LA-5C advertised as a 80mw illuminator. I’ve taken apart and re slaved the lasers. With the L3 patents probably being the same for how the unit actually zero’s and adjusts. Curious cus the NGAL somo or IS is my next likely purchase.

I felt the same way.. so I purchased that ngal. Unfortunately it didn’t even last one full magazine. Now I’m having trouble with getting it fixed or replaced..

Screw the FDA! Neutering our lasers taking Freedoms "for safety"! Screw that noise. This is the guberment our founders warned us of. I went with the brick of a DbalD2! Every LAM has its ups and downsides. Great review! Way better than the Holosuns! 🤙🏼

If you’d wanna send me one, I can include it in a possible update video down the road. Send me an email at 4mrranch@gmail.com if interested

Please do!

Thanks for watching. I’m happy you find my content useful.

I’m humbled to hear I’m a useful resource for you. Man more videos like this to come, to include a massive comparison of 25+ units

It’s a strong contender given the laser market. I’m glad they gave me a code to share. Unclear if it supports my channel, but if it saves you guys money I’m for it. Sorry I couldn’t directly link (the KZfaq gods won’t allow it)

@@4MRRanch I didnt see a discount code but im in the process of purchasing. Is the code still good? Im purchasing from their ebay store if that matters....

Where’s the discount code?

@@survivorman_1829 use code “4MR” I think it gives a discount.

@@survivorman_1829 check the 15% off link in my linktree links

I will try! Waiting for the “new” one with a crane plug and improved ergonomics

Lots more coming

@@4MRRanch big bet 👁👄👁

Welcome! More to come

I was a bit on the fence until I saw that the code got me $134 off on their Ebay store. That was the nudge that pushed me the rest of the way. Thanks, man.

@@TerexJ send me an email at 4mrranch@gmail.com

LOTS more in the works!

Huge oversight imo, but that’s why I pointed it out. Nothing some tape can’t fix and a nuance I’m willing to deal with for an otherwise solid unit.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I appreciate you taking the time to watch

I appreciate you

I appreciate it. I’d like to!

They’re definitely solid

Yep, could definitely be worse things to have to deal with.

That’s exactly what I’m going to do, but pointing out an obvious design/programming flaw

Thank you!

There are many great options now, the NV market is growing rapidly

Yep, hard to justify going elsewhere when these are as solid as they are. If you could diffuse the laser I think it would not have anything else to be desired

About to drop a video like this but with 25+ units

For what it’s worth, the laserspeed and invisible sight lasers aren’t Airsoft, they’re marketed for guns. If laserspeed could get their side and weight down it may be my top choice but the invisible sight has been phenomenal (comparison to real l3 NGAL dropping soon). Downside of invisible sight is the lead time (for now, he’s about to ramp up) whereas laserspeed will ship right away. I have not yet had reliability issues with any of the units on my channel, but are all between 400-800 rounds

@@4MRRanch Thanks for the speedy reply! I found your post(s) on reddit. You're truly The Guy leading this whole "yes the current LAM market is fucked lets look at the cheaper more reasonable options." Seriously super thankful for what you're doing for us.

My somo NGAL has not had the lasers move relative to eachother as of 800 rounds. My IS NGAL diodes have also not shifted, but are not co aligned as well out of the box.

Yes I have a HUGE comparison dropping soon

The goal would be as small as possible. I’m not super into overly powerful IR lasers as they bloom too much without a diffuser. It would be nice to control the laser independently of the illuminator, like the Raid XE

I was messaged by a viewer who makes diffusers for this unit. I’ll show some of that in the update review.

Clan to hear it, makes it an even better buy

Bigger than the NGAL by far; slightly larger than the PEQ.

“4MRRANCH” and I was told it works on either their eBay or aliexpress site. I can’t post links on KZfaq for risk of the videos being taken down. You can email me at 4mrranch@gmail.com if you have any trouble with my code not working and I’ll get onto them for you.

I can’t attest to their customer service, so I appreciate you sharing your insights!

@@4MRRanch it was a lot of fun working with them for a while. I just don't understand the sudden drop off in communication around December.

I have a feeling laserspeed would be willing to send one out now that they see the effort I put into my videos, and if they are I’d put a video together. Not currently planning to purchase one due to trying to get more variety on the channel.

@@4MRRanch that would be cool, there's not a lot of people doing detailed review on the chinese lasers.

There’s a reason these are desirable..

The unit actually feels very solid. I’m hoping the weight means it has a decent housing thickness, durable components, and a generous amount of potting of the electronics inside.

I appreciate your time and your response 👍🙏 Thank You!

@@qthestorm_patriot Happy to help!

The locking clamp can only go so far, so you shorten the length of threads with each small turn of the nut. This is a good feature (if implemented right) so you can get good lockup on a variety of rail tolerances rather than be stuck with a QD that’s either too loose or too tight

I think they have one!

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if that inspired it

@@4MRRanch Laserspeed does OEM for Newcon. It's the exact same just rebranded

I do what I can

You can go through either their eBay or aliexpress site. “4MRRANCH” is supposed to save you 15% on either

Essentially

It would be nice if it was smaller but it’s workable

It’s not for everyone. But for a FP laser that’s a reasonable price. My discount code would knock it to $765, but not sure how long they made my code active for.

Any halfway decent FP laser is going to have a similar price.

@@4MRRanchwhat’s that…but 300 clams shy a Steiner?

@@JustAnotherPaddywhere are you getting a Steiner DBAL for $1,000? I see them going for more like $1,800 which would be double the price of this unit and basically every IR aiming device I see from a company that’s well known is at least that much and does not have as much power as this unit.

@@Dirminor primary arms

Always helping out! I appreciate you

@4MRRanch least I can do...or maybe...

You are right, they don't use their products, that explains everything.

That’s why you see some people running some interesting riser mounts, but I use the unity light wing to clear my LAMS. The upside to the mount of the LS-M3 being higher is I didn’t have many issues with my lights fitting.

@@4MRRanchI’m not familiar with too many options but I got a Chinese copy of t-rex’s springboard mount. You’re really not going to get anything much tighter than that, and if it stands out any further away from the handguard profile, you bump into the underside corner of the ngal. So there’s really no other option. What I’d propose is an entirely new design, stealing most functions from the ngal. You start by flipping the location of the illuminator with the lasers. Why is the illuminator on the left side?? Its beam pattern is cutting across the profile of your flashlight bezel. Lasers won’t have that problem.. To further improve, the entire system could be shifted to the right a few mm. It doesn’t have to be symmetrically mounted on a picatinny rail. It just has to be compact and work.. The closer inline vertically to the barrel the better. And there should be two controls. One on the back for important controls, and one on top. The one at the back of the device toggles between only 4 functions. Vis Laser, Vis Laser+Vis illumination, IR laser, IR Laser+IR Illumination.. there’s no need for any other setting..The switch on top would be for hi/low power, as that difference is WAY less important to get wrong, and more environmentally dependent, meaning in one particular terrain, it shouldn’t change. If your device is good quality, and its power levels are tuned appropriately, it’s not going to change very often. Power settings should be appropriate for indoor vs outdoor, imo. How is every developer NOT naturally coming to this obvious realization is beyond me. I’m not an engineer and even I know that this is basically the ONLY way it can be done efficiently and compactly, and the controls are usually SO COMPLEX, and hard to use, that they would require 50 hours of training just to have muscle memory. Another thing: I know these systems can be more vertically compact either way little effort. Why aren’t they developers trying harder to make them thinner?? You could shave off 5mm without too much effort at all

Huh, I've always just ran my lights on the right side, I am right handed and shoot right handed so this is something I've never thought to be a problem myself

@@dmaraschky1you can run it anywhere, but in my experience, it’s going to need a remote or be super awkward anywhere other than at 10:30. And when you’re looking for speed and don’t want to train hundreds of hours, it’s better to use a remote for vis/ir unit and thumb for flashlight. It’s just easier to wire the brain that way. And I think it’s always going to be faster times, going that route too.
