The Romeo X models (the subject here) is not enclosed and commercially the enclosed M17 optic is still in the pre-release stage.Originally Posted by G19Fan
They have a history of offering other models in 6 MOA so it’s a bit early (and disingenuous) to be declaring they are “not interested” in making 6 MOA optics.
They are interested in making what ever institutions and individuals will buy.
I’m a fan of larger dots but Betamax was better than VHS and we know how that turned out.

Some of this may already be posted. Apologies if it is.
Here is some rear sight / deck height measurements for the Holosun EPS Carry and the SIG Romeo-X Compact.
Measuring from the sight base plate to the top of the rear sight.
Holosun .293"
X Compact .322"
And then the Romeo-X Pro which fits the Pro or Leupold footprint. Measured from sight base to top of rear.
X Pro .342"

I have spent some time shooting the new Sig Romeo X with the DP Pro cut. It is a very interesting optic. Has basically the Holosun arrangement of 2 moa dot, circle and circle dot. The X does some things well. It has a very bright dot intensity (brighter than a Holosun 2 dot) which allows you to bloom it if you desire a larger dot. The deck height is low and it has an excellent built in rear sight. The buttons are recessed preventing inadvertent activation. The glass is clear. The battery cap design is very robust (no Holosun little screws). Fits a DP Pro footprint and there is a compact model that goes on the RmSc footprint. I like it enough I just bought another Pro footprint and a compact one.

If you qualify for the NRA instructor pricing, the 2024 price list makes this thing a steal.

Are the x compact pro enclosed? Didn't know if that is what the Pro designation meantI have spent some time shooting the new Sig Romeo X with the DP Pro cut. It is a very interesting optic.

No. They look like the enclosed Romeo 17 military optic, but they are an open emitter.

Holy smokes. You weren’t kidding. These prices are so good you’ve got me looking for the shortest NRA instructor course I can find. They’re substantially better than the IOP prices.

Maybe a Sig Rep will give us his best guess as to when a enclosed emitter Romeo X's with a RMS-C (compact model) and a DPP footprint will be released at SHOT 24 in a few weeks. These look real nice but I am only really interested in their future closed emitter Romeo X models.

Cowan’s 2000-round review of the Romeo X is up. The optic functioned fine up to the last drop test which shattered the front lens. The optic maintained zero despite the lens cracks and was still serviceable in an emergency. Overall, favorable review and he notes that this is a carry, not duty, optic and drop tests may not be realistic in for such optics.
I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
After using the Compact and Pro model a while, the very bright dot intensity and guarded controls are very attractive.
