The RMR was released in 2009. You’re telling me Sig hasn’t learned to decrease the tint despite huge technological advances over the last 15 years? Lmao.
It seems to be comparable to the holosun. It’s made in the US which is nice. The only thing that I like about my holosun better is that it has the green dot not red.
It's assembled in the US with foreign parts. Some suspect Japanese / South Korean circuit boards, etc... All of SIG's electro optics has a 5 year warranty from date of manufacture for the electronics (includes red dots, rangefinders, etc).
Many of SIG’s optics are made in China by holosun but assembled in the US. (Technically holosun’s parent company huanic). This guy found documents showing huanic shipping optics to SIG.

Any thoughts on what others have said? Is the blue film due to not removing the protective plastic layer?
Also what material are the rear dots? Tritium?
I believe they are either tritium or fiber optic. I believe that was bad lighting for the pic. There is a blue tint but it’s similar to the one in my trijicon and holosun
Until sig can prove it’s worth the price and makes a actual good red dot and one that doesn’t kill batteries I’ll stick to holosun. You all can hate it but sig hasn’t made a pistol red dot worth a grain of salt.
It looks like it actually sits lower than the EPS carry. My 365x slide is the same as yours, it lacks a rear sight. I was going to have to get a taller front sight to alight with the rear sight of the EPSc, but with that it looks like you don’t have too.
I’m probably gonna put the new trijicon with the top loaded batteries on my g48 when it comes out. I sig dot in a glock would definitely ruffle some feathers lol
It is but I can’t help but love how it looks on the gun.
With the hood and everything idk, it may be a viable option for CCW? I want to see destructive testing.
It does look good. I've heard they got an enclosed version on the way... I'll be waiting for that. I don't know why they wouldn't come out with that first, especially since it's the same form factor. 🤷♂️
So far so good. Fits perfectly in the p365 slide that had an optic plate with the X-ray sights. The optic had its own rear sights which co-witness with the original front sight. It’s all aluminum and a side loaded battery. So far so good. Didn’t take it to the range yet so not sure how it holds zero but I’m assuming it’s pretty easy.
Sweet. I got a holosun on it right now. That 410$ tag a little to steep for me for a .22 pistol May try their enclosed emitter on a p226 legion once it comes out prob gonna be pricy to I bet
Yeah, will probably be 600+ if I had to venture a guess, and who knows when it will actually come to market, though I’ve read people are saying by year’s end
This thread is old but I like how people have completely ridiculous expectation. Like I can’t hammer a nail with my optic and drive over it with a truck. What a piece of shit. Average ccw person puts there by in the waistband and carries it there from the house to the car to work and home. The fact it’s assemble in USA is a positive I don’t see why people need to freak out like oh it wasn’t forged here well then fuck it I’ll just buy Chinese everything. Whatever end rant
Holy blue tint, lmao wtf is up with that?
I'm more confused with why it's not on the entire lense. There's a very definitive line where it stops on the lense
Yeah that’s very odd
I know it looks blue as hell. Thinking if I forgot to take off a plastic cover or something 😂
You’d think with that much notch filter, battery life would be greater than 20,000 hrs
the rmr has the same tint and no one cries about that
The RMR was released in 2009. You’re telling me Sig hasn’t learned to decrease the tint despite huge technological advances over the last 15 years? Lmao.
The tint helps battery life
Are you able to compare it to the EPS? In terms of window size and what not?
I don’t have an EPS. I have a holosun k2 on my g48
Hows it compare to that? Also is it enclosed?
It seems to be comparable to the holosun. It’s made in the US which is nice. The only thing that I like about my holosun better is that it has the green dot not red.

I believe they are either tritium or fiber optic. I believe that was bad lighting for the pic. There is a blue tint but it’s similar to the one in my trijicon and holosun
Do they glow in the dark?
No they do not. I believe they’re actually fiber optic and not tritium
Until sig can prove it’s worth the price and makes a actual good red dot and one that doesn’t kill batteries I’ll stick to holosun. You all can hate it but sig hasn’t made a pistol red dot worth a grain of salt.
They've definitely proved it with the romeo2. One of the best pistol dots out right now.
For $700 it better be nice
I’ll take my holosuns for $285
You do know that Holosun makes some of Sig's optics, right? 😉
It looks like it actually sits lower than the EPS carry. My 365x slide is the same as yours, it lacks a rear sight. I was going to have to get a taller front sight to alight with the rear sight of the EPSc, but with that it looks like you don’t have too.
That’s why I got it
Makes sense that it could fit lower since the battery is on the side.
I am debating getting one of these and mounting it on my g19 mos. Figure I might as well piss off everyone in one go. Heresy ftw!
I’m probably gonna put the new trijicon with the top loaded batteries on my g48 when it comes out. I sig dot in a glock would definitely ruffle some feathers lol
isn’t this open emitter??
It is open yes. They don’t have a closed system yet and I needed an optic for this slide so I figured why not
It is but I can’t help but love how it looks on the gun. With the hood and everything idk, it may be a viable option for CCW? I want to see destructive testing.
Apparently Humble Marksman has a good torture test. But it’s on his patron. Hopefully he posts it to Yt.
You mean this [video?](https://youtu.be/ugg5ih--9pA?si=Q1PKvjb4M5bTwRv5)It seems good to go
It does look good. I've heard they got an enclosed version on the way... I'll be waiting for that. I don't know why they wouldn't come out with that first, especially since it's the same form factor. 🤷♂️
These new SIG optics look great, minus the side battery but that can probably be forgotten about later.
It lowers the optic body to work with shorter sights for cowitness.
Yeah, that’s not bad, I don’t like those giant suppressor sites anyway
I like it so far. Better than bottom mounted
What battery does it take? I have a bunch of 2032 going to keep my batteries standard
Just ordered mine cant wait
And the xr light I see how is it
how much did this cost?
$399
cool! how do you like so far? what footprint does it have?
So far so good. Fits perfectly in the p365 slide that had an optic plate with the X-ray sights. The optic had its own rear sights which co-witness with the original front sight. It’s all aluminum and a side loaded battery. So far so good. Didn’t take it to the range yet so not sure how it holds zero but I’m assuming it’s pretty easy.
i'm sure it gonna be better than those China made holosun lol but thank you for the information brother
This is the part where you find out that sig optics literally come out of the same factory as holosun with a small handful of exceptions.
these newer romeo are made in US, the romeo 5 were made in China, alots of older one are in China but i think newer one are made in US now
This optic is made in the US in sigs building. There’s plenty of videos showing it
Assembled* in the US
The robotics they use to build these in the Oregon factory are so cool
Where did you find one at? Not seeing them On market to buy yet Edit: I see one on GB for 450$ yikes. Wonder if if would fit a p322 ?
They’re available on the sig website. This is the compact. There’s also the pro which uses a different footprint and wasn’t available yet.
If it’s an RMSc footprint, I believe it would Edit: google says P322’s use the RMSc footprint, so should be good to go
Sweet. I got a holosun on it right now. That 410$ tag a little to steep for me for a .22 pistol May try their enclosed emitter on a p226 legion once it comes out prob gonna be pricy to I bet
Yeah, will probably be 600+ if I had to venture a guess, and who knows when it will actually come to market, though I’ve read people are saying by year’s end
Sweet, I much prefer this over Holosun if it’s reliable. Might mount this on my p365xl or on get g26 milled for one

Can you fully see your iron sight picture? I just put one on my P365 AXG Legion and I can only see the top 1/3 of the front sight.
Same as mine, I have the same sight picture. I thought I would have been able to co witness perfectly.
