L&S Pandora PB-K

The CORD Pandora PB-K brings the rugged enclosed-emitter design of the PB-3 into a smaller package optimized for slimline and micro-compact pistols.

Designed for concealed carry and defensive handgun applications, the PB-K combines a large viewing window, selectable multi-reticle system, durable 7075-T6 aluminum construction, and native ACRO P-2 footprint compatibility in a streamlined housing built for everyday carry.

An RMSc Ghost Adapter Plate is included, allowing the PB-K to mount flush on compatible micro-compact pistol slides right out of the box.

AuraWake™ Technology

CORD’s AuraWake™ system is designed to provide the battery-saving benefits of motion activation without completely relying on the motion sensor for your aiming point.

After approximately five minutes without movement, the outer 36 MOA CQB ring enters sleep mode while the center 3 MOA dot remains continuously illuminated.

Once movement is detected, the outer ring immediately reactivates. This allows the optic to conserve battery life while maintaining a constant center aiming reference.

Mounting Compatibility

The PB-K features a native ACRO P-2 mounting footprint, allowing it to interface directly with compatible ACRO-cut slides and mounts.

Each PB-K also includes an RMSc Ghost Adapter Plate, making it compatible with many RMSc-pattern micro-compact pistol slides while maintaining a low optic height.

The PB-K is also compatible with the Pandora PB-3 MOS Ghost Adapter Plate, available separately.

Important: The PB-K is not compatible with the PB-3 RMR Ghost Adapter Plate.

Ghost Adapter Plate

CORD’s Ghost Adapter Plate system is designed to minimize the added height typically associated with optic adapter plates. The optic surrounds the adapter, allowing the PB-K to sit closer to the slide and improving the potential for co-witnessing with factory-height iron sights.

Ghost Adapter Plates are manufactured from 1144 steel and include the required mounting hardware.

Carry-Focused Design

The PB-K housing is specifically refined for concealed carry. Its reduced dimensions, recessed controls, beveled exterior surfaces, and compact profile help reduce interference with holsters and everyday carry equipment while maintaining a generous viewing window.

A reinforced objective lens retention plate helps secure the glass during recoil and impact, while the raised front standoff allows the optic housing to be used for emergency one-handed slide manipulation.

Battery Information

The PB-K uses a CR1632 battery and provides up to approximately 18,500 hours of runtime on daytime brightness settings.

CR1620 batteries may also be used with the appropriate battery cap, providing approximately 11,500 hours of runtime. The CR1620 battery cap is no longer included by default and must be requested separately from the manufacturer.

Warranty

The Pandora PB-K is designed and developed in the United States by CORD Instruments™ and is backed by a lifetime guarantee for the original purchaser.
