Sig Romeo 5, Fakes

[markm]

Creating fakes of an already budget optic strikes me as an odd choice.

As there's evidently money in doing it.

Wait are you saying Sig makes better red dot than Holosun?

Where did you read that? I have no idea who makes a better dot. I've heard great things about both of them.

Ok who do you think manufacturers the Sig Romeo 5 ?

No idea. I think we're more worried about who makes the fakes... and what shortcuts they have. I think the idea is that a fake Romeo 5 likely is crappy compared to a real one.

I don't care who makes it or where it comes from as long as its not a POS fake. My Romeo5's have been outstanding, especially considering their cost. And, yes its shocking they make a fake $100 Optic but I'm sure it cost them $10 to make. I can't figure out how they make Harbor Freight tools that weigh a ton and sell for pennies, shipping should make them more expensive, but they do.

Just glad I'm aware and wanted to make others aware so they dont get smoked on a Romeo, even if its just $100 optic.

Funny you say that.....I bought the old lady a diamond upgrade earlier this year. They tried selling me the whole man made BS to which I responded. I want a real flipping diamond and I want a picture of the little African who mined it.

The whole diamond jewelry market seems to be a sham, natural or synthetic.

When I buy this sort of stuff from Amazon, which isn't often, I look at the sellers and try to stick with firearms related sellers, even though it can be hard to determine who exactly is selling sometimes, which is ridiculous.

You are indeed correct, lots of counterfeits out there, so buyer beware.

This probably doesn't matter, due to the comingling of inventory at Amazon warehouses. Sellers can opt out of that, but I'm not sure there's a great way to determine which sellers do opt out; sellers that do opt out do incur additional costs on their end.

Spend a couple bucks more and buy from a known reputable outfit.

I do not buy anything firearm related or really anything of value from Amazon. The entire site is rife with counterfeits from clothing to gun sights to “medicine.”

What the fun in that? And I dont have the money to be buying top tier Romeos. Gucci fodder!
