Sig ROMEO2

[1168]

Aren’t the Romeo’s OEM’d by the oft touted Holosun?

I suspect that this is like barrels. Just because FN makes 249s and also precision rifles and PSA gets some of their barrels from FN, doesn’t mean every barrel PSA sells shoots half a minute for 20,000 rounds and the only place they get any of them is FN. I wouldn’t automatically assume a Sig optic is equivalent to a Holosun, regardless of who makes them. I also wouldn’t assume that everything Holosun makes is good.

Maybe this will be great. Maybe not.

If I recall correctly, Aaron Cowan stated that he has toured their facility in Oregon where these are assembled. I'm sure all of the parts are not sourced from the US, but he said they're at least assembled here.

No. Not at all.

Lipstick on a pig, prove me other wise. Seen SO many Romeo optics fail, they are the last I'd ever recommend.

That's funny....the last class I was at (January), we had two Holosuns go down...and none of the SIG Romeo 1 Pros. Huh.

ITAC used to make lights for Sig years ago. But I'm almost absolutely certain that Sig's OEM for their red dots is Holosun.

Nope.

That's cool.

I'm an armorer for an agency that's almost 75 percent P320/Romeo. The amount of Romeos we've had shit the bed is shocking. I've been beating the piss out of RMRs, Holosun, and now the MPS, and have never seen one hiccup similar to what a Romeo displays. Garbage optic, and if I had my way, they'd be banned at my department.

Yeah, I disagree that the Romeo is as durable as a RMR or Holosun. I’m at classes of some sort pretty frequently.

MAP on this thing is $600. What's the appeal when it costs Acro money? How does it compete with the 509T and Steiner MPS that are both cheaper and more proven?

[RHINOWSO]

I see SIG couldn’t decide what to make and instead tout modularity/options with all the pieces they have with this thing.

I’m sure there will a Gen2 or upgrade version in less than 12 months, which has become SIG modus operandi’….

Is that experience limited to RMR’s or inclusive of RDS?
