Sig ROMEO2 Hybrid Handgun Red Dot - 3 trick or no trick pony?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- The Sig Sauer ROMEO2 is the first handgun red dot of its kind in a way, you can run it out of the box, with an open shroud, or with a closed lens shroud. Yup, a 3 in 1 optic that was designed and made in the United States to ride on the slide of a handgun. This red dot from Sig addresses prior issues with other optics and is striving for a place in the pro grade market. Does it deliver or is it a no trick pony?

Great review. You covered the bases very well. Continue with the good work and content, it will pay off.
Great video, I've been very interested in these. Price is a little prohibitive but I dig it.
Great review. Have mine on my P320 Scorpion with several thousand rounds thru it and very happy with it. Price seems to be the biggest deterrent for some but you just have to look. I paid about $570. When you factor in direct mount with no additional plate, priced about the same or less than an Aimpoint P2. Also have to say, I find the glass superior to my Holosun 509 or Trijicon RMR. Also like that it is screwed directly into slide, instead of other ‘true’ enclosed RDS that need to be screwed into the sides. Just seems more secure. Now would just love to see Sig come out with a Romeo 2 micro for the P365 line.
Great video Dave. Looks like a great optic across the board. Definitely expensive, but it's a premium optic and should be - especially if manufactured in the US - which is awesome. I just barely bought a Faxon slide for my Gen 1 M&P9 and am in the market for first pistol GDS.
Good video! I'm an m&p 2.0 guy and have been running RMR's on them. I'm going back and forth with what closed emitter to try...only one in stock is the Steiner MPS...heard a couple things I'm leary about. This optic is interesting. I want to try the EPS.
Also, besides there being some good polish out there to deal with scratches on polycarb lenses, that lens insert looks like it could be something SIG could offer as a replacement part at a decent price.
My thoughts about the poly carbonate piece was if it did get marred or Scratched I wonder if it’s an easy replaceable affordable piece if so that would be a good idea for why I would get behind Poly carbonate versus glass
They've dipped down as low as $599 in recent sales for the lowest cost version. That's right in line with an Acro P2.
Can we get a comparison between this and the M17 optic or are they the same?
I dig this optic but I don't see the point in buying a "convertible" style RDS. It's intended for duty use so you're probably just going to put into fully enclosed configuration and leave it that way. I guess if you're really on a budget you could use it as an open emitter for CC and closed for duty and just swap back and forth, but that's a pain.
12:59 I would need to be in a clean room in order to assemble in a dry environment as I live in Honolulu and it is humid and dripping.
Sig innovation do everything everyone else does for more money
yeah... you lost me at $768...
Broke boy.
@@mauricemaurice123 lol or maybe he’s just smart? If you think you need to drop $770 for a decent red dot, you clearly don’t shoot enough
MSRP is never street price.
@@mauricemaurice123 Larper...
@@mauricemaurice123 how'd that comment work out for ya? Damn you look stupid trying to sit on that fake high horse. Next time just try not to be an ass Mr. Keyboard warrior.
550 ish on Amazon
The poly carbonate with certain cleaners will dull, scratch, fog and even melt
there's a reason they put $40 in accessories in the box. They're scamming the hell out of you.
I wanna see someone do a review on this optic after carrying it for a month and the acrylic is so scratched you can't even look through it.
Or once the first drop of moisture gets in it, which is GOING to happen eventually.
this is a $200 reflex sight with $40 in accessories that they're selling for $650.
When I made this review, I was using it pretty extensively, Carry, classes, training. I agree I would love to see glass over polymer, but so far it has been holding up. A student in a recent red dot class I was teaching also was using one full-time for duty and has not had any issues with it.
@@GunsandTactics my point is, there's no upside or value to the very measurable downgrade in quality and performance, and it's the most expensive "mailbox" on the market. it makes no sense. this thing should be $300 at most.
👊💪🤙🇺🇸
I’ve found it on several sites @ sub $600. It’s still expensive, but for me personally, I’m probably going to grab one. I hate adapter plates, and when you consider the cost of a quality AP with a different closed emitter sight, it’s not that much more expensive. To have the sight mounted directly to my slide, I’d say it’s worth the higher cost. (Plus, I’m a Sig fanboy.😅)
where are you finding it under $600? Everywhere I look they are $700
The holosun scs320 will be better than the Romeo 2.
Same footprint, sealed and half the price
You'd think they would use glass considering the price..
Everyone I know that has a Sig pistol optic has had problems & doesn’t recommend buying one. 🤨
I was in the same position until the Romeo2, I think Sig really did well with this optic. Believe me I was pretty critical of this based on some prior experiences with Sig and this legitimately impressed me.
Were they the “Duty” optics or the cheap chinesium SIGs? The Romeo 2, 4T and 8T are the only optics I’d use from Sig. The rest are cheap garbage imo.
@@HardcoreAmericanUSA They we’re the larger aluminum body Romeo’s. Not sure exact models.
I can buy a RMR for approximately half that MSRP and it's proven.
And it has an open emitter
Not for that price. Sig red dots just aren’t who I’d trust and for that price you’re better off getting a P2 imo. Not sure why anyone would want to swap between closed and open anyways but to each their own.
Yeah, definitely not for me!
If they get any bigger, you'll need to get lightening cuts just to offset the added weight. In 10 years, you'll probably need a monopod to hold it up!
But seriously, I just find it's an ugly reddot that doesn't flow with the lines of any gun.
I buy a good looking truck because it makes me happy. Any truck would get me from point A to point B, but I got the one I wanted because it looks nice and has the features I want.
This is like buying an ugly Volvo. I'll never understand people willing to drive around something awful looking just to have a few more safety features. I'm happy that they are happy with them, but i still don't understand it.
Not
What is thing with that "haircut" ????
Tribute to Phil Collins.
I know I know, the haircut lady messed up, it looks worse on video. Thankfully it's growing back fast, I should have just shaved it all off.
Fix your grammar before you talk shit, retard.
No hate, it’s a Mohawk when you’re not a spring chicken anymore 😅
Thought you had lost a bet.
Gimmicky and there is better for less....
What Pistol are you shooting with that Sig on?
3:25 p320 AXG
Way to much money
This is terrible and everything it says it does is just thr opposite. It holds moisture, and fogs going in and out of AC/Humidity. It isn't sealed and defeats the purpose of closed immmiter. Most may not see if in their climate. The dot and operation itself IMO is irrelevant if it doesn't do what it says it does. I did not like it at all and had two of them.
Wow for the price of this optic only fools would buy this when you can get a better optic with a Holosun.
