I have been shooting the Sig Romeo 3 Max as my primary red dot for the last month or so. Using it for practice and matches, and really liking it.
Today, part way through stage two of a match, the dot failed on the R3Max. I tried to fix it, couldn’t, and just carried on with index since I don’t have BUIS.
Bummer, as I really like this optic. Finished the match with a SRO on another slide.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
So @GJM which is the most reliable "gamer" RDS based on your experience now (as you continue to experiment)? SRO?
Will be interesting to see what SHOT brings, but a few pre SHOT observations.
Was discussing optics with someone I buy them through that sells a wide range of different brand red dots. He says the single most returned optic is the Sig Romeo 1, and the cause is almost always that the dot loses zero. Second most returned, and similar to my experience, is the Holosun, which has a significant out of the box failure rate. The 507 is very attractive to many as a CO on a budget optic.
Prices are reduced on the 507 and 507 GR, and the thinking is there is a replacement 507 coming at SHOT. Shield RMS optics are slow to deliver, and they are apparently selling many of them, including to OEM buyers like SA. I just got a new Acro and it has some changes — hoping those changes include better battery life.

I hope we will start seeing the subcompact segment heat up with more first tier choices. A RMRc would be ideal...
