Will be interested to see how they perform in independent drop tests as compared to their own “tests”. I like the idea behind the full shroud. I’m guessing these won’t be in the wild until this time next year. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I was surprised they didn’t create a whole new footprint and require yet another slide cut to accept it.

The Romeo 2 in that video looks a little different than the Romeo 2 that was displayed at SHOT 2019.

I like the built-in rear sight, but the coolest feature to me is the option to have open or closed emitter. Great idea.

Yeah they look quite a bit different. I remember it being rubberized in 2019. Seems like they decided to wait and go with the multiple shroud options after seeing the desire for an enclosed emitter. The full shroud actually looks half decent too aesthetics wise.

The Electro Optics guy told me they'll formally debut it at NRA this year. The housing was substantially beefier than the Romeo 1 Pro. They claim it'll survive a drop on the optic from 5', loaded, onto concrete. Aaron Cowan will undoubtedly put that to the test. I, also, liked the idea of the closed emitter option.

I would be very interested in this sight if it does everything they say it does.

That being said, I've not been impressed with Sig Optics in the past. Good concepts, spotty execution.

I've got pistol applications that a closed emitter DPP-footprint would fit in well with, a Romeo 2 Pro w/ closed emitter would be certainly worth checking out.

I wonder if the Romeo 2 would be more prone to fogging in certain situations using the sealing shroud compared to the Holosun 509T or the ACRO GEN 2. Do the Holosun or ACRO use nitrogen purging, or is that mainly used on riflescopes, etc.

Compared to the 509T or ACRO the Romeo 2 will absolutely be more subject to fogging. The 509T is nitrogen purged and the ACRO is assembled in a humidity-free environment (like other Aimpoint optics).

The Romeo 2 “may” be better than completely open-emitter optics in terms of fogging, but it seems like it would be an advantage for debris.

I will be giving one of these a try as soon as they become available. Hopefully not much longer. I like that they will be offering it with two dot sizes, a 3 moa and 6 mod. I am pretty sure it has the same footprint as the Romeo 1, which should bolt right onto my Shadow Systems optic cut without the need for an adapter.

It's the same footprint as the Romeo1Pro/Leupold Delta Point Pro.

If your cut is for the older Romeo1 you will need to get it slightly modified to fit.

According to their chart it looks like it will fit the Shadow Systems pistols with no modifications to their optic cut.

Talked to a SIG LE rep a couple weeks ago and he said February. I'm supposed to attend a P320/P365 armorer's course in the first week of February so maybe I'll get more insight then. The LE package is supposed to run about $400 and come with Fix-It Sticks and basically everything you need to mount and run one.

Unfortunately, this has been "just a couple months out" for the past year. With supply chain issues this seems to be the norm for actual quality optics right now. It's basically taking 6 months for me to get my 5moa SRO through Trijicon's LE instructor program (it used to be two weeks max).

This optic has so many interesting features, that I am really hoping it turns out to work well. Integrated rear sight, and the ability to go from open to closed emitter are very interesting and innovative.

Indeed, he did. He covered my chief concern with this configuration- ambient atmosphere in the optic.

Things that were not mentioned:

Battery life with the smaller battery

Glare potential from the rear clear panel

And, of course, the fact that there’s a chance you will be assailed by postal workers attempting to place first-class prepaid envelopes into the thing. (It’s yuge).

All the SIG Romeo pistol optics use 1632 batteries.

The R2 is an evolution of the R1P which is supposed to get 20,000 hours out of a 1632 so the battery size is nothing new.

From what I have researched, the Romeo 2 has a footprint that is .0094" longer than the SIG Romeo 1 PRO, it *might* direct mount to Shadow Systems optic cut slides. I will call Shadow Systems Monday to see what they have to say about it. It being just released they may not know. Everything has pro's and con's, and I like that this sight has a little larger window than some of the other closed emitter pistol sights.

A number of the Holosun offerings run on 1632s. 20,000 hours translates into over 2 years, so I would think an annual battery change might suffice.

It can.

Staccato uses removable recoil bosses (little posts that fit into holes in the slide). You may have to change the front sight height to correspond with the rear notch on the Romeo2 though.

I’m up to four SROs now. None of the four have what I would consider tactile adjustments.

Making tactile adjustments requires small, fragile internals. It’s an engineering challenge, not only making them tactile, but durable.

Gen is RMRs we’re notorious for losing zero. For me adjustments are a low priority vs reliability.

Cool early RMR’s lost zero, all pistol optics have shitty adjustment. I wasn’t looking to debate any of the above. I didn’t even bring that up. I’m not asking for NF level tactile adjustments either and understand there are engineering difficulties. If I was looking for duty level durability I wouldn’t be looking at any pistol optic Sig makes and would stick with something proven. I was just curious if anyone had any info on whether or not there was any improvement on adjustments to go along with some of the other features on the new Romeo 2. My gripe is a known complaint for the Romeo 1 Pro and all the people I know who’ve used one not that it even matters. I still like the dot. It’s nice and clean to my eyes. The only reason I brought up some of the other optics I presently have was for comparison sake with regards to feel and function.

None IME.ACRO P-1 revised is noticeably better than the original release and on my Type 1 RMRs, I would assume the P-2 would, too. IME, on par or perhaps even better than my T-2s and CompM5.

A late edition P1 I bought had noticeable to me “clicks” when using the Aimpoint tool. The P2 we had had a bit better tactile “feel” in adjustments as did one I saw last week on a reps direct mill gun.
Sample of 3, etc. The MPS I fiddled with yesterday felt similar to the P2, FWIW.

A guess only, but based on how the world seems to work these days: components and even subassemblies sourced globally but with final assembly and QC in the People’s Republic of Oregon. There is hardly any US based component level manufacturing left anymore, at least for now.

HCM
03-27-2022, 09:49 AM
Is it really?

Yes, really. It’s the first RDS made is the new factory which may have been part of of the delay in its release. It may also be part of why the price is what it is.

Does that mean every component is made from scratch is the U.S. ? Unlikely. But I doubt you’ll find any RDS with 100% US made components.

The US factory was a requirement for SIGs military LPVO contracts.

Like everyone else in the industry I’m sure SIG will continue to have other products made elsewhere.

Like Vortex and Leupold, SIG Optics has a mix of products made in China, the Philippines, Japan and the USA with a corresponding range of prices.

The R2’s progenitor , the R1P, is made in the Philippines.

As mentioned either up thread or in the Sage Dynamics video the R1P/R2 and DPP footprints are similar except for the supporting posts in true DPP foot prints.

If your DPP plate or cut has the post you will need to either get a different plate or have the post smelled away to install the R2.

C&H makes plates specific to the R1P/R2 footprint for Glock MOS.. Not sure about the CORE.

The biggest downside I see is, as posted up thread, the R2 is apparently slightly longer than the R1P and DPP such that it doesn’t fit in SIGs own PRO optics cut on the P320 PRO models.

I would say at this point the RMR and the DPP (in the SIG form missing the rear posts) are the two most common mounts.

SIG's R2 cut slides can mount both the DPP/Romeo1P/Romeo2 and the RMR.

It's actually a pretty slick way to do it.

Being in AZ now, I didn't worry too much about the dry environment when I put the shield and full enclosure on. Went on easily and the hardware and tools were high quality. It will need a taller front sight to match the integral rear sight on the R2.

Look forward to shooting it and testing it in low sun angles.

FYI, the new Sig Romeo 2 RD pistol sight *does fit* the MR920 and DR920 pistols. You will need to fit (sand down) one of the polymer recoil spacers to fit the gap behind the RDS which is approximately .075". I also have an Aimpoint ACRO P2 that has been direct milled to a Glock GEN 4 OEM slide. I like both of these sights, but I like the Romeo 2's window size more, it's seems a little more forgiving and faster to pick up the dot, *to me*.

Is anyone else having any problems with the Romeo2? I am going to decide whether to buy one by Tuesday.

No, the stock front sight would need to be changed to get the proper elevation/zero. I have had zero issues with my Romeo 2. Absolutely no regrets about it.

Have you swapped your front sight out yet? If so, what did you go with and how did it work?

No, not yet.

This is a longshot, but has anyone tried or seen a ROMEO2 on a LTT PX4CC? My eyes definitely prefer a RDS these days.

I'm still tempted to try this if nothing revolutionary comes out from Shot Show... GJM this or the Acro 2 for you right now? :cool:

I got a R2 a few months back. I installed it on one of my CO slides to be able to practice when it is raining. Which is always this time of the year. So far it works with no issues. The glass is clear and large enough. Obviously it is a little different from my normal Romeo3M but surprisingly not much.

I forgot to ask if anyone is running it with a MOS plate and who's do you recommend?

Mine is a direct mount on X5 Legion (Or my carry M18) - - that was one of the reasons I got it - no plate or milling needed.

I bought the Sig MOS plate directly from Sig. It should arrive Tuesday, and then I plan to mount a Romeo 2 on a Glock 47. Look forward to working with it.

I heard from another agency firearms instructor that the Romeo 2s aren’t doing well. The shrouds keep coming off from very light impacts or just from shooting enough.

What is that saying about never buy the first generation of any new product!

I recently installed one on my Sig P229 40SW (My hiking gun). I had just one practice with the gun (200rd). No issues so far.

I plan to start with my Romeo 2 in open emitter configuration. If that seems to be working to my satisfaction, I will then add the shrouds.

Looking forward to hearing about your experience. You’ll be putting yours through a higher round count than all but a handful of people at my job.

Given that there has been some use of this particular optic for over a year now, and given Aaron Cowan's positive review of this a year ago, I would question whether the assembly was done correctly or if the assemblies were properly maintained, if this is confirmed as an issue.

The fundamental design seems solid enough for the purpose of the device, but loose screws happen.

I received the Sig MOS plate and went to install the Romeo 2 on a G47. The plate is THICK and between that and the height of the overall optic, BUIS would have to be very tall. I don't want to have to use the notch built into the optic and futz trying to find the right height front and hope windage is on.

Despite being very excited by the concept of this optic, I am not feeling the love and may send it down the road.

GJM I've got some well-used take-off tall Dawson Precision sights that were on a MOS slide with a Delta Point Pro if you want to experiment with them and the Romeo.

Thank you for that kind offer, but I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze for me with this optic, given all the other great optics out there now.

Mason Lane shot the CO Nationals this year using Romeo 2 with the full shroud:

Is it really?

As much as any other optic labeled “made in the USA” from any of the big makers.
