SIG Romeo 1 Pro Unboxing

[@Lspencergottlieb]

Hi there, I'm the designer of that ROMEO1 pro tool. I just found this video. Really appreciated your words on this.

[@ThruMyLens100]

Oh that’s fantastic thanks for letting me know! This was a big improvement - thanks for what you do!

[@d7dun1010]

Thank you!!! Just bought a Sig m18 Sunday and have yet to shoot it. That will be taken care of very soon! Also got a 1 Pro in FDE and I will be getting that mounted also. Your detailed content gave me a lot of information. I now see that I want to use the shroud and I was on the fence about that. No more. Thank you!

[@ThruMyLens100]

Thank you for your kind words. Glad I could help!

Great review of the red dot optic.The Romeo 1 Pro is made for the P320 X5.The screws are different that come with the Romeo 1.I made that mistake.Thanks for the video.

[@jimc3688]

Thanks and looking forward for a side by side comparison. Been waiting a couple of months for a black version.

[@ThruMyLens100]

Jim C - my pleasure and thanks for watching!

[@lmarcu91]

I looked for months. I finally got one off eBay.

[@adaboy4z]

I can't find that battery cover tool any where? Would like one.

[@youknow136]

Thanks!

[@ThruMyLens100]

Call SIG.

[@dollarbillme]

I am curious if they improved the battery life any

[@x_Heffe_X]

Yes, it was one of the first things he mentioned.

[@BRABUSALLEGRO]

What kind of screws are there ? Do you know the size and type

[@ThruMyLens100]

BRABUSALLEGRO - I don’t but if it helps they appear to be the same screws from the previous generation of Romeo1.

[@jimc3688]

I believe the screws are a bit wider on the Pro.

[@scoopthereal2353]

Will the Romeo Pro work on the X-series?

[@ThruMyLens100]

Scoop TheReal - that’s a good question. Outside of the Legion X5, I’m not sure which other P320 variations are compatible with the pro. I believe SIG is slowly converting all of their models.

[@shaiyashock]

from the video I just watched from jan 23 2020 they are saying will work with all x series kzbin.info/www/bejne/hl7EhpWZZd2kp9U

[@rogerdaniel9280]

I called Sig; they told me the 1 Pro will work on my P320 X carry.

[@jedvel7560]

So it uses the same footprint as the leupold dpp?

[@ThruMyLens100]

Jed Vel - That is correct.

[@jedvel7560]

Thank you for the response!

[@rockmo4896]

Where did you find a romeo1pro for less than $300? I can't find any south of $400

[@ThruMyLens100]

rockmo4896 - I ordered mine from the SIG Academy Pro Shop. You can get a 20% discount there. More if you are retired military, first responder, or like myself are an NRA certified instructor.

[@jimc3688]

@@ThruMyLens100 $405 at Sig Pro Shop

[@lmarcu91]

Check local gun shops. My local guy says as soon as they start coming out more they will be $379 out the door

[@proswangsta]

Where is it made? I missed it

[@ThruMyLens100]

Alpha Ghoster - SIG optics is located in Oregon but it’s not clear to me where it’s made.

[@kylebelcina]

The price is already at RMR territory and we all know how rugged the RMR is.

[@ThruMyLens100]

Kyle Belcina - well the street price of an RMR is ~$500.00. A Romeo1 Pro can be had for considerably less - under $300.00. I’ve always considered the Romeo1 a competition red dot first and foremost. But maybe the Pro will make me consider it suitable for defensive use.

[@Murphy82nd]

@@ThruMyLens100 I'm seeing the Romeo 1 Pro for just under $400 at most of the online retailers, OpticsPlanet, MidwayUSA, EuroOptic, etc. Maybe there are sales for the Pro I'm missing. Meanwhile EuroOptic has the type 2 RMR for $420. To me for practically the same price I'd go with the RMR.

[@ThruMyLens100]

Kyle Belcina - I get a discount as an NRA certified instructor. 🤷‍♂️

[@burnett2010]

The fact that Sig would charge you more bc their product requires a protective cover seems...ridiculous. Either make it to the point that it doesn’t need it or throw the protective cover in for free. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@dr.william.a.horton]

Not impressed. It’s not different enough from the original imo.

[@ThruMyLens100]

William A. Horton - if you have a SIG with the new DPP footprint, you can’t use the older “original.”

[@dr.william.a.horton]

Yeah I was waiting for this to drop but after seeing it ended up getting the DPP. Like you said the Romeo is not a sight I trust on a carry gun.

[@ThruMyLens100]

William A. Horton Trijicom RMR is the only dot I trust on a carry gun. Not a fan of the DPP.

[@dr.william.a.horton]

I was wondering why you said you didn’t like the DPP. You should do a video on that.

[@malone212]

You can use the original romeo 1 on the new footprint. It will just have a gap at the front.
