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 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.

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.

I have one and had 2 extra so I offed them. I will be avoiding chicom shit out of principle since the chicomflu has caused worldwide chaos. I did have a chicom red dot on my 22 AR which failed spectacularly during a match. It was replaced but.....These may be better. I just think chinese shit is just that. Yeah you can save money but you always get what you pay for. I would never use anything chinese on a go to weapon. I understand what you are saying for me it goes beyond i'd rather source used quality shit. YMMV

There is a massive difference between NcStar chicom junk and Sig's red dots.
Sig has a massive reputation to protect, so they wouldn't put their name on anything that isn't up to their standards.
I have a friend who works for Sig. They tested the red dots for over a year before offering them to the public; they didn't jump into the optics game on a whim.

They are made by holosun I here. The one I had was a vortex. So all "name brand".
It's cool I get it. Just not for me. But maybe I should of kept them but I got what I had in them so win win

New update: well my eotech went TU so I needed another optic. Went looking around for an aimpoint micro. Ended up getting talked into a Romeo 4. “Assembled in USA”. Not sure what that means. Got the good one. Will report back has some good features
