I own two LE221s laser sights in green. As a reference I am comparing performance to an L3 Harris Antipal-C pointer/illuminator which I have used for 2-3 years with no complaints.
Originally purchased the Antipal-C in 2022 because its L3, well designed, proven track record and made in USA. Ideally, Holosun which is based in Orange County, CA will pivot manufacturing to Taiwan - or any other place besides PRC.
The L3 laser is housed in a rugged polymer body and houses a larger diameter laser pointer, whereas the Holosun is housed in an absolutely bombproof! cast titanium housing and casts a thinner pointer beam, which to my eye I is more precise. The Holosun heavier than the Antipal - and this model does not include an illuminator, which I now prefer. I found the switch on the L3 busy and not intuitive whereas the Holosun is a very simple switch that you can read looking forward towards target, vs having to glance on top of the Antipal to switch between pointer power or other function. I combine the LE221 set up with a SF 640v IR+W light and together it is a better set up for me better than a integrated illuminator + pointer.
Reduced by one star only due to origin of manufacture.
Pros:
- Pros: Indestructible build Pointer over bore location A bit heavy Simple + reliable click adjustments Easy to read/switch between functions Small package Solid adjustable + locking rail mount.
Would recommend: Yes

This sight is tough and durable with its titanium housing. The controls are crisp and intuative. So far I am happy with the build quality, especially at this price point. Seems a bit heavy, but that isn't completely unexpected.

After purchasing night vision, I needed to have an ir laser/ir illuminator for my ar15. I initially purchased the surefire m600 ultra, but didn't had enough in my budget for an all in one vis laser/vis illuminator and ir laser/ir illuminator device. I wanted a robust Vis/IR laser unit so I purchased the holosun le221. The holosun le221 doesn't have an ir illuminator, but I did have a surefire m600 light. I purchased this head because it allows me to utilize a bright flashlight and also served as an IR illuminator. Now the only obstacle remaining was a solution that would allow me to utilize the ir laser/ir illuminator at the same time and the ir illuminator separately. The Unity Tactical TAP SYNC Switch was the perfect solution for this. I can utilize the IR laser/IR illuminator together and separate and if I just want the laser, I can press the botton on the top of the unit. If I want to use the flashlight, I just habe to turn it a couple notch. There are three settings you get when you install this head. One turn with an audible click you get the Flashlight, the next turn, a convinient off setting in the middle, and the final turn, an IR illuminator. This product is a very affordable solution that allows you to utilize existing equipment if you already have the m600 light, but want to purchase an slightly less expensive aiming laser module while retaining the utility of a second flashlight.
Pros:
- Very reliable
- very durable
- Very robust
- Titanium Construction
Cons:
- Very Tight Tapeswitch Plug in
- Difficult to plug tape switch into
Would recommend: Yes

The holosun LE221 is truly a solid device for your rifle. There are videos on YouTube that support this claim and actual footage of it being used. I love the capability of zeroing the laser and IR at the same time. A user friendly product that’s also budget friendly too. This device increases your range time and not fooling around with adjusting that’ll take up a lot of rounds and time on the range
