I've got one on a Sig MPX as do 2 other guys in my weekly shooting group. We've all had them for between 8 and 12 months with absolutely no problems.

With one exception. The bolt used to secure the base to the picatinny rail tends to loosen and did on all 3 of ours. The answer, of course, was blue Loctite and none of us have had a loosening problem since.

I liked the video, but man that music in the background is annoying. Lol.

I may have to try one of those for my next small red dot purchase.

I've now got 2 Romeo 5s. Put the second one on an AR I've got and it works flawlessly, just like the first one I got.

I read somewhere / seem to remember that they are made by holosun for sig.
A couple years ago I got a romeo5 from my dad after he decided he didnt like it lol.
I put it on my scorpion evo and it has been fantastic. Thousands of rounds so far with zero issues.

I think that it is a great site for the money. I love the shake awake feature. It should be a standard feature on any new red dot.

Sig Electro-Optics are manufactured by Holosun. A large part of Holosun's business is as an OEM for Sig, Primary Arms, TruGlo, and a few others.

Why did you sell them? They work great. I don't need a military-grade optic for most of my firearms; I do own several Aimpoint T1/T2 and a few Trijicon MRO's for my go-to firearms. But I have no need for a $700 red dot setup on my 22lr build, so the lower priced Romeo 5 is a great choice. I have 3, and they have never failed me.
