SIG Sauer has just released the ROMEO-X, a premium pistol-mounted optic that combines high-performance optics with the revolutionary SIG-LOC™ mounting system. Developed for both civilian and professional use, the ROMEO-X optic is designed to enhance durability, accuracy, and adaptability, setting a new standard for pistol-mounted optics.
Key Features of the ROMEO-X Optic
The ROMEO-X is built with durability and precision in mind, featuring a fully enclosed, sealed, and purged optical system that protects against environmental elements, making it ideal for rugged use. Key highlights include:
- Fully Enclosed, Sealed System: Engineered to withstand harsh conditions, the optic’s sealed construction keeps out dust, water, and debris, providing reliability in all environments.
- SIG-LOC™ Mounting System: Originally developed for military applications with the ROMEO-M17, the SIG-LOC™ system is the foundation of the ROMEO-X’s secure mounting solution. This five-point mounting footprint ensures a robust lock-up between the optic and pistol slide, eliminating zero-shift issues from recoil or impacts.
- Extended Focal Length to Minimize Parallax: The bottom-mounted screw design of the ROMEO-X allows for an extended focal length, reducing parallax and providing a sharper, distortion-free reticle for precise aiming.
- Aspherical Glass Lens: This distortion-free lens provides a crystal-clear reticle, ensuring precision at every distance.
- MOTAC (Motion Activated Illumination): This feature automatically powers on the optic with movement and powers down when at rest, conserving battery life and ensuring it’s always ready.
- Low Deck Height for Iron Sight Co-Witness: With one of the industry’s lowest deck heights, the ROMEO-X allows seamless co-witnessing with standard-height iron sights, enhancing versatility across various shooting applications.
- Multiple Reticle Options: The ROMEO-X offers reticle options, including 3 MOA and 6 MOA red dots, as well as a 32 MOA circle dot, allowing shooters to select the best configuration for their needs.
- 20,000 Hour Battery Life: Powered by a side-load CR1632 battery, the ROMEO-X offers up to 20,000 hours of runtime, and the side-loading design allows for easy battery changes without removing the optic.
- Rugged 7075 Aluminum Housing: The optic’s MIL-SPEC-grade housing, constructed from 7075 aluminum, ensures that the ROMEO-X is tough enough for everyday carry and professional use.
- Extended Illumination Range: With 15 illumination settings (12 for daylight and 3 for night vision), the optic can adapt to diverse lighting conditions, making it suitable for low-light and nighttime shooting.
SIG-LOC™ Mounting System: A Secure, Military-Grade Solution
At the core of the ROMEO-X is SIG Sauer’s SIG-LOC™ (Leverage Optimized Connection) mounting system, which revolutionizes the connection between the optic and pistol slide. The SIG-LOC™ system leverages five points of contact to distribute the forces from recoil, keeping the optic locked in place and eliminating zero-shift over time. Initially, the SIG-LOC™ system is compatible with the P365-FUSE slide, with future expansions expected across other popular SIG platforms like the P365 and P320.
