I'm a sig guy but man just bought one full size and one compact open. They release something than 2 months later release what I really would have wanted. Love this optic🤦
Former Sig guy. Had dozens of Sig guns. Romeo zero, romeo 1, romeo 1 pro, and romeo 2. What you mentioned is one of MANY reasons I'm no longer a Sig fan. It took a lot. Just wait you'll find out with the romeo x. You're a Sig beta tester customer. Sig is nothing but a shit product with a big marketing team behind it.
Dammit, I just got a regular Romeo-X Compact like a month ago... Freaking love it, but I would have loved to get an enclosed optic instead. I knew this was going to happen too lol, just didn't know it would be this soon.
I'm interested. Liking the side battery - keeping the deck height Low 👍. What's the battery type? Is the aluminum housing 6061 or 7075? What's the sleep time? These are things we need to know.
Consumerism is a drug. You can legit buy a P365X with a Romeo X enclosed like this right now and carry it for 10 years before considering a change. Guys were carrying the same revolvers for 100 years before not too long ago
Did they take away the multi reticle select option that is on the regular Romeo X Compact? I've had that dot for about 2 months now and I really like keeping it on circle most of the time but it's nice to go to dot for further shots when need be and I'd hate to lose that option. That would make me think about going to the Holosun EPS Carry over this.
My holosun eps carry that I just bought 6 months ago, just broke. The copper battery connector inside the battery well snapped as I was shooting, and fell out as I took the battery out to try and replace it. Never buying holosun again.
@@logangreen4381 I've always heard people have no issues with holosun warranty when used. Also I've seen reports of broken dots from basically every manufacturer. We are still in the early days and slide mounted micro dots. These things live in an absolutely brutal environment.
@@rushthezeppelin The gun forums are plastered with poor CustSer by Holosun, and long waits for warranty service and parts. Holosun is also known to have a higher "new-out-of-the-box" defect rate, than Aimpoint, EoTech, Trijicon, Elcan, Leupold, Sig, Vortex. Chicom sux.
I don’t mean to be rude but the Romeo 0 is an absolute ZERO. It’s a garbage optic and SIG needs to discontinue it entirely imo. The new Romeo X compact lines make it even more worthless lol. The Romeo X optics are good to go along with the other US assembled line of optics. The Chinese ones can be hit or miss.
@@DTWCTIt’s also 100% Chinese with inferior glass and emitter. I’ll take a SIG assembled in the US with a US housing, Japanese electronics and Zeiss Glass every damn time over a 100% Chinese optic… If you want cheap and that’s all that matters by all means buy Chinese. No one will stop you.
Yes and no. I have both the EPS Carry (multi-reticle red version) and just got the Romeo X Compact enclosed (3 moa red dot version) direct from Sig at their store in NH. EPS Carry pros: glass actually has less tint, has longer battery life (per manufacturer specs, not sure about RL use yet, I do know it’s much less than 50k hours on circle-dot mose), has rudimentary backup notch irons (not really an issue on newer P365XL slide that keeps rear irons with dot mounted but can be issue with other guns), cheaper (MRS version $470, dot only $390; vs $480 for Romeo X Enclosed). Romeo X pros: Better buttons, Sig lifetime warranty, US assembled from allied nation parts, mounting/hardware on my P365XL was much smoother than EPS (wrong length screws). So far Holosun is ahead, except I’m really trying to not buy more stuff that pretty directly helps the PRC defense industry. The real question for me is which one will stand up to inclement weather better, but I’m not rushing to test that out, mine are mounted on different slides so eventually will try them out in the rain/snow but each is a backup for the other currently.
@@jonny9459 From day one the prices were $479-529 msrp for the enclosed Romeo X optics. Street prices are usually lower. Holosun is a Chinese OEM corp and can use sl@v3 l@b0r.
They still don't have the kinks worked out of the 1st romeo x. Know far too many ppl that send them back 3-5 times bc they won't hold zero. The lenses scratch like their plastic. Save your money and get something else. Sig is beta testing it's customers again.

I was going to get it two days ago and I saw the June 25th and said let me wait just in case
Going to wait to see if it will be available in green dot
When will it be available as a package with the P365X?
been waiting for them to become available again
they seem to have restocked I snagged a 6 MOA today and those were all gone last week.

7075 per their site. Don’t remember the battery nor the time
1632 battery.
Be cool if I could FIND ONE
Trying to stay up-to-date with the latest and greatest is worse than trying to stay caught up with computers and cell phones anymore
Bruh, for real.
Trijicon RMR type 2 is all you will ever need and more.

@@guitarthrasher81 you're absolutely correct. is it nice to have the latest and greatest? hell yea, but do you need it? not really.
I’m buying this.
The light fad is in full effect.
it's a shame not to have the built in rear sight like the other romeo x has, being such a low pro red dot.

Holosun is a Chinese OEM company and that's a big reason to reject that brand.

Not to mention, I can't even speak to someone over the phone at holosun. Pretty shit customer service, imo.

Hopefully it holds up better than the Romeo 0 I had two of those red dots and both of them found the trash can due to problems.
I have the Romeo X Compact (open emitter) and it seems solidly built.
So far so good, definitely better then the old sig optics.

Has anyone tried the compact on the Shield Plus yet?
The original romeo zero burned me. I'll wait for someone to torture test it.
I wonder how tough this guy is
Idk man I bet he could beat my ass, albeit not saying a lot
So.. Do you like it over in EPS?
That's the real question. EPS carry is cheaper and has the rear sight notch

Holosun glass seems clearer.
The Sig site says it’s $629.99…. No thanks!
Woah, sticking with my holosun eps carry
I just went on the sig site and it says 479.99
