Military technology in a civilian package: SIG Sauer introduces the ROMEO-X Series red dot sights

A few months ago, the mil-spec ROMEO-M17 red dot sparked great interest, even if the optic had a proprietary SIG-LOC mounting interface designed for the M17/M18 service pistol only. 

Now, SIG Sauer Electro-Optics introduces the all-new ROMEO-X series, which is inspired by ROMEO-M17 to deliver “military grade performance, reliability, and durability for civilian everyday carry”.Two models are offered at the moment, the ROMEO-X Compact with a Shield RMSc mounting footprint to fit micro-compact pistols (including the SIG P365), and the ROMEO-X Pro with DeltaPoint Pro mounting footprint – for full-size pistols such as the P320. 

The ROMEO-X Compact has an overall length of about 41 mm and a width of 31 mm, while the larger ROMEO-X Pro is about 46 mm long and 32.7 mm wide.

Sig Sauer ROMEO-X, “designed for the U.S. Military. Optimized for everyday carry”

“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,” said Andy York, President, SIG Sauer Electro-Optics.

Both ROMEO-X red dots feature a 24-mm window diameter with distortion-free aspheric glass and patent-pending Beryllium Copper flexure-arm adjustment system, individually selectable 2 MOA Dot / 32 MOA circle reticle, and CNC machined 7075 aluminum housing with anti-reflection grooves on shooter facing surfaces. The low deck height allows standard-height iron sight co-witness.

You can choose from 15 brightness settings (including 3 night vision settings), and a side-mounted CR1632 battery compartment with a threaded battery cap so that you don't need to remove the optic from the pistol for battery changes. The battery provides a minimum continuous runtime of 20,000 hours at medium brightness setting. MOTAC (Motion Activated Illumination), MAGNETAC (Magnetic Activation), and D.A.R.C (Dark Adaptive Reticles & Coatings) technologies are part of the package.

Prices? The Compact version comes at $409.99, and the Pro is priced at $459.99. Like all SIG Sauer Electro-Optics, the ROMEO-X Series includes the Infinite Guarantee, an unlimited lifetime guarantee that requires no warranty or receipt should your optic need to be replaced at any time.
