I am guessing HQ pencil whipped the R0 into the approved list, like the 43. I expect the same results… failed products. I like to tell the troops that “if we approved it, it means we beat the shit out of it in testing, so you can trust it”. It pisses me off I know I can’t say that with a straight face after the 43.
They are making it mandatory to have a metal shroud installed around the R0. One built specifically at our request. We call that a clue. It may have alleviated the issues. Maybe. Or it’s a bandaid… who knows. This may be a “it’s a back up, so it only needs a 5k test, not a 10k test” thing like the you-know-what.
Problem is, the shroud thickness raises the “back up” rear sight molded into the R0, and as such, you are hitting 6” high at 10 yards. Sig has yet to make a front sight to account for this… and as such, our roll out of the R0 is on hold for now.
From everything I have seen and heard, I will skip a RDS on the 365. I may revisit the concept when a more robust candidate is named. I see a lot of Holosuns on the 365 these days.
