Thread: Romeo 1 Pro

  1. #1

    Romeo 1 Pro

    Earlier in the year, Sig announced the Romeo 1 Pro. This optic is similar to the Romeo 1, except the footprint is advertised as being the same as the Delta Point Pro. Also they say they improved the mechanism that holds dot zero with their “TruHold™ Lockless Zeroing System,” increased brightness of the dot, and offer 3 and 6 moa dots.

    Today, my wife and I received two of them. We bolted the first one onto one of her 320 X5 Legion pistols. It went on easily, and without an adapter plate, as the Legion is direct milled from the factory for a DP Pro footprint. The Romeo has a rear sight as part of its design, and it appears to pair well with the front sight on the Legion. This is it:

    Next, I tried to install the Romeo on a Glock slide that was direct milled by Primary Machine. The Primary cut does not have bosses, and so I was optimistic the Romeo would fit. Unfortunately, the Romeo was larger enough dimensionally, it would not fit on that slide.

    I plan to try the Romeo on an X Compact and see how that works. My wife pointed out, by way of compatibility, the DP Pro cover fits nicely on the Romeo.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    I look forward to hearing more about it. I know many disparage Romeo 1 but my experience is different. I have a first generation one riding atop a gen 5 G34. Been through three multi day classes and several matches without a single issue. More than I can say about my DPP. No, I haven't tried dropping it on concrete or racking it off tables.

    What plate are you using?

    Installed the second R1 Pro on an X Compact for my wife.

    Very much looking forward to hearing about your experience with this optic. How is the quality of the glass? The blue tint is supposed to be much less obvious with the Pro. Hearing rumors that this is also one of the optics that has passed LAPDs Pistol Mounted Optic testing.

    This is going to be the next blaster setup I buy. I love the feel of of the X Compact and have high hopes for the R1 Pro. Guess we will see.

    Me too

    I just mounted the Romeo 1 Pro on a Legion also. Only 100 rounds fired but, so far no issues. I have a Romeo 1 on a 320C with a couple thousand rounds fired. No problems with it either.

    I haven't noticed any powder residue on the Pro from the Legion's LCI yet. I will keep an eye on that, pun intended. The Pro comes with a protective shroud that my 1 does not have.

    I will update as round count increases.

    It is important to clarify that there are two different Romeo1 PRO models.

    The Romeo1 PRO which is supposed to use the Leupold DPP footprint

    And the Romeo1 T which is supposed to be the same improved /Gen3 sight with the proprietary Romeo footprint.

    The kit you linked is for the Romeo footprint and likely will not work with the PRO.

    That sounds like a big FAIL for SIG. What the hell is the point of creating yet another proprietary footprint ?

    Correct. As noted, my optic is gen 1 Romeo 1 and not the Pro.
