Sig ROMEO X Red Dot Compact Sights
SIG SAUER Electro-Optics introduces the all-new ROMEO-X line of optics, which was motivated by the recently announced mil-spec ROMEO-M17. For everyday carry by civilians, the ROMEO-X offers military-grade performance, dependability, and durability. Red-dot sights from the ROMEO-X series are available as the ROMEO-X Compact for micro-compact pistols like the P365 and the ROMEO-X Pro for full-size pistols like the P320.

Sig ROMEO X Red Dot
The recently introduced ROMEO-M17 served as the model for SIG Sauer Electro-Optics’ new ROMEO-X line of optics. For this reason, according to SIG, “The ROMEO-X delivers military-grade performance, reliability, and durability for civilian everyday carry.” There are two red-dot sights in the ROMEO-X series: the ROMEO-X Pro for full-size handguns (including the P320) and the ROMEO-X Compact for micro-compact pistols (containing the P365). As previously mentioned, the ROMEO-X Series red-dot sights come in two versions: the compact ROMEO-X Compact, which fits micro-compact pistols, and the pro-ROMEO-X Pro, which fits full-size pistols. Both versions use aspheric glass that is distortion-free and a Beryllium Copper flexure-arm adjustment system. Additionally, the housing’s shooter-facing surfaces have been machined with anti-reflection grooves.
The ROMEO-X Series optics feature a side-mounted CR1632 battery compartment with a threaded battery cap, a side-mounted, independent brightness adjustment button, 15 brightness settings (including night vision settings), and a high-efficiency point source red LED emitter with a two-MOA dot/32-MOA circle reticle. This eliminates the need to remove the optic from the pistol for battery changes. The ROMEO-X series also uses MOTAC (Motion Activated Illumination), MAGNETIC (Magnetic Activation), and D.A.R.C (Dark Adaptive Reticles and Coatings) technologies, has a minimum continuous runtime of 20,000 hours at medium brightness setting, and has a low deck height for standard-height iron sight co-witness.
According to Andy York, President of SIG SAUER Electro-Optics, “The ROMEO-X family of red dot sights is completely optimized for everyday carry and built using the same technology and testing standards of our mil-spec optics that are designed to withstand the rigors of the battlefield.” When fitted to the slide, this design places the optic in a very low position so it can cooperate with the existing standard-height iron sights while providing a complete field of view. The best targeting solution for EDC is provided by the ROMEO-X Compact and ROMEO-X Pro, which are designed, developed, and manufactured in Oregon. Low deck height for standard-height iron sight co-witness is provided by the ROMEO-X Series. The ROMEO-X Compact’s MSRP is $519.99, and the ROMEO-X Pro’s pricing is $589.99.
