@@jamesbowman7963 That’s a pretty good analogy. I think a better one is I bought an SUV on Carvana thinking I was going to get a Suburban XL and when it was delivered it was a Honda HR-V. It’s my own fault. I didn’t do my due diligence in research before I bought it, thus, the reason I made the video. Some extra info for those considering it.
No I did not do any real research. I saw a torture test. I really liked the side mounted battery, the positive controls, the “off” feature and the circle ⭕️ dot feature. I am a huge fan of the circle dot reticle. Furthermore it was being praised as the next big thing for Sig Optics. The fact that the Romeo X was originally designed for the P365 should have been a ‘clue,’ but it never dawned on me that it would be so small. Is it an excellent optic? It appears to be, ‘but’ it has its drawbacks, which hopefully I have made people aware of. I haven’t gotten it to the range yet so we will see how it performs after the range. Bottom line … my fault. The information was out there and I should have done a better job of research before I bought it.
My first rmr I thought this Optic had such a small window it sucks. Now that I’m good at shooting I’m like why do I ever need anything bigger? I can see the world around my optic and only need the window to show my door dot. It’s not like the window is my exclusive picture of the world around me I still have peripheral vision
@@Bigbearjblaze My first optic was an RMR, which I still have and use. The Romeo X Pro has a smaller window than the Trijicon RMR. I have been using a Romeo 1 for about eight years and for me it is the perfect size, but I really thought I needed to replace it because Sig abandoned the Romeo 1 footprint and my carry Romeo 1 was pretty beat up. I called Sig and was told by Customer Service that the Romeo X Pro was the latest and greatest, plus it co-witnessed with standard iron sights. So based on the recommendation I bought it. It never dawned on me to think that the optic window would be smaller. I never even considered researching it first. At 70 years old I for God Sake should know better.
I have the Romeo X Pro on my P320 XCompact. I love it for my conceal carry pistol. I like that it’s larger than. The Romeo X small size for the 365. I have the Holosun 507Comp on my competition full size P320, it’s way bigger window. I feel like I bought both red dots for their proper uses. Sorry to hear you didn’t like it as much.
I agree that the Romeo X was designed for carry guns, but when you tack on "Pro" and say it is a "durable" optic the military would like, you start to think an optic for a full size M11.
your complaints lack merit in every way, next time do your homework, you really should take this video down, if you say you know sig so well then why didnt you not look into this, one of the great things about youtube or many SIG forum out there is, you could find the information
@@ozzdunn9034 Thank you for your input, but I won’t be taking anything down. I agree I should have done more research, but I believe my complaints have [merit].
Total respect for your opinion and thank you for telling us your experience I am also starting to get into red dots and i feel the new trijicon optics offer a great red dot for the money
Thank you. Trijicon is the industrial standard for pistols. I am doing a Glock 34 build and looked really hard at the Trijicon SRO. I did some research and went with the Vortex Defender XL instead. The big reason(s) for going with the Defender XL are; Large window, durability, warranty, price and the fact that Vortex includes the required MOS plate. Before you go with a Trijicon, do a little research and see if there isn’t something that will do the same thing, but with a better price and warranty.
All of the reasons you don't like it are all the reasons I got it for my S2C lol Small, compact & built in backup sights (even if they shoot a little low on my carry).
Love your AXG. Very cool color choices. I completely forgot about the Romeo X magnetic on/off. It's actually an interesting feature. The Romeo X is a durable optic that is perfectly sized for concealed carry. I am also a stickler for cowitnessable sights, which this allows. Also, you do not have to remove the sight to change the battery, which I will not accept on an optic anymore. The whole direct mount/footprint thing you are dealing with really stinks. I almost bought the wrong optic when I bought my first P320, as it was the new cut and would not take the Romeo 1. Thankfully, I found out I needed a Romeo 1 Pro before I made the purchase. Unfortunately, you have the opposite problem. There are still Romeo 1s out there, and they are pretty inexpensive now, but who knows how long they will be available. Thanks for the review. Subbed.
You are correct, as has been pointed out by several before you. I should have done some research, but I didn't even think about doing research because Sig recommended it as a replacement for my old Romeo 1. I also didn't think about doing research, because it was marketed as the RomeoX "Pro" for larger pistols. I seriously did not expect that something marketed "Pro" for full size pistols would maintain the profile of an optic for a compact carry gun. The other issue is the low profile. Again, for a compact carry gun it makes sense, but not on a full size carry gun that someone might like to use a silencer on. To give the RomeX Pro, it's due, it is a great optic. It is bomb proof, with side mounted battery and good controls. I love the circle dot reticle. It is just to small for a full size handgun.
are you comparing the Romeo X to the other optics instead of the Romeo X Pro for full size handguns? You never mention it being an X Pro and by its size is looks like the X I run on my P365.
The only difference between the Romeo X Pro and the Compact is, the Pro is 0.21 inches longer than the Compact. They are otherwise identical. They are the same height with the exact same optic window. To answer your question, I am comparing the Romeo X [Pro] to other optics. Other than the length difference I mentioned above, the Pro and Compact are the exact same optic.
Is your slide cut for the Leopold Delta Point Pro? If the answer is yes, then the Romeo X Pro will fit your slide. Check your manual it should say what its optics footprint is.
@@jonathaninocentes3235 I did buy the Romeo X Pro, that is what is in the video. The only, and I mean only difference between the regular Romeo X and the Pro is the footprint on the Pro is longer to fit the Delta Point Pro footprint, otherwise it is completely identical to the Romeo X for the P365. I bought it because it was recommended to me by a Sig Customer Service Rep.
If you've been using a Romeo 1 for an extended period of time then how can you be satisfied with a delta point pro?! IMHO the DP Pro is one of the most if not the most overrated red dot on the market. It doesn't stand a chance against the romeo 1. Further more I'm afraid you didn't understand the concept of co-witness. ruclips.net/video/tpkb0Lyr9RM/видео.html
Why you think I don't understand the concept of Co-witnessing? As for the Delta Point Pro vs Romeo 1. I use(d) (past tense) a Romeo 1 quite a bit more than I use the Delta Point Pro. The Delta Point Pro has a larger window and is more durable that an original Romeo 1. The only reason I have the Delta Point Pro is because it was the only RDS available for my M17. Why do you think that the Delta Point Pro is overrated?
@@Borat808 Thank you for the response. I will definitely take a look at the Sage Dynamics video. In honesty I haven’t shot the M17 with the DP Pro enough to be able to speak intelligently about it. However, it does a large window and it is durable. I do sincerely appreciate the comment. I may be 70, but there is always more to learn.
@@armeddiver My pleasure, sir! After all I didn't mean to say that the DP Pro is a bad red dot in general. In my eyes it's just over-prized for it's performance. I am sure Leupold didn't earn their name and reputation for nothing but in this case (red dots) it seems they rely a bit to much on their name.😇 Btw I am in no way affiliated or connected with sage dynamics! IMHO it is one of the best channels you can find when it comes to trust-worthy information about fire arms, shooting technics and fire arm accesories. He is quite famous for his (drop)testing procedures for red dots for handguns. 😉
@@coleverret2269 I won’t argue with you on that point. FYI, while I still think it is too small for a full size gun, I am using it because I really like the circle dot reticle and it is super durable.
@@armeddiver it’s still the best dot sigs yet made I’ll give it that. But I still sold my XC to get another eps carry. And I think it’s perfect size tbh I wish the rmr would come out with a housing it’s size, that direct mounts to something for once lol
@@coleverret2269 Because I didn't do enough research before buying RomeX, I did a lot of research before I bought my most recent optic for my G34 build. I bought a Vortex Defender XL and it is awesome. Vortex even included the MOS plate that is needed to mount to a Glock.
Long drag on video on why is he disappointed in the SIG Romeo X 1) Window size and 2) Sits too low.b/c he can't use his suppressor sight. LMAO!!! Maybe he should get regular slide so he won't to add suppressor sight and it was designed to be compact. BIG THUMBS DOWN!
If you felt it was a “long drag on video”, why did you watch it? Apparently, it had some value to you if it made you laugh your ass off. I sincerely appreciate the comment.
You should have done more research before buying this sight. All of your issues would have been addressed
I 100% concur with you.
Translation I bought a SUV and I'm mad it isn't a pickup truck? This is a sight for a deep concealment pistol it has to be small....

@@armeddiver Fair enough hope you get what you actually need.
He's just an old "get off my lawn" type guy who has to complain about something.
For CCW purposes it’s a great little dot. There’s many dots better suited for what you’re looking for.
Did you not research the Romeo X prior to purchasing it? The complaints you mentioned were intentional design elements for Romeo X.

Maybe. Aiming isn't really the problem. The problem is acquiring a good sight picture through the optic.
