The M17 and M18 pistols have been selected by the US Military as the official sidearm and the ROMEO-M17 is the only optic that is truly designed specifically for this pistol. All other optics have many disadvantages and make several compromises. The ROMEO-M17 does not. This is an American-built MIL-SPEC red dot truly worthy of the SIG SAUER name.
Please Note – The ROMEO-M17 pistol red dot sight utilizes SIG SAUER'S proprietary SIG-LOC mounting interface and only fits SIG SAUER M17/M18 military issue and commemorative pistols with a single optics plate mounting screw. This sight will not fit any other pistols.
- A fully enclosed sealed and purged optical system for ultimate protection from the elements
- Mounts from underneath the pistol slide re-using the MHS pistol rear sight block and sight block screw
- 7075 Aluminum housing
- Integrated gas deflector on the front of the housing
- Machined anti-reflection grooves on all rear surfaces for reduced glare
- Extremely low deck height allowing a full sight picture and co-witness with standard-height sights
- SIG-LOC™ (SIG Leverage Optimizing Connection) proprietary mounting interface for the ultimate optic/pistol lockup.
- A high-efficiency point source LED emitter with 2 MOA dot/32 MOA circle reticle. The reticles are independently selectable (circle only dot only or circle/dot combination).
- Independent brightness adjustment buttons that are recessed within a protective plate which can be activated even with gloves on. Buttons have bump features above UP and below DOWN so they can be determined by feel.
- 15 brightness settings with 3 of the settings optimized for use with Gen 3+ NV devices
- A side-mounted CR2032 battery compartment with a threaded battery cap for easy battery changes without the need to remove the optic from the firearm. The cap is slotted and knurled for use with or without tools.
- Minimum continuous runtime of 20000 hours at medium brightness setting
- 2 drainage holes machined in the sides of the housing just behind the rear sealed window to allow pooled liquid to escape when the optic goes from a vertical position (such as in a holster) to a horizontal position (such as shooting)
- Windage and elevation adjustments have tactile clicks. Adjustment screws are slotted for use with any small flat-blade tool. Adjustment resolution is 1.5 MOA per click.
- MOTAC (Motion Activated Illumination)
- MAGNETAC (Magnetic Activation)
- D.A.R.C. (Dark Adaptive Reticles & Coatings)
- Designed developed tested and fully assembled in the USA
The ROMEO-RS (Reinforced Steel) was specifically engineered to provide the accuracy and convenience of a pistol-mounted red dot at a cost that competes with high-end iron sights. Inspired by the design of modern striker-fired pistols that employ high-strength polymer and metal the ROMEO-RS housing forms around a rugged steel chassis that supports and protects a premium aspherical glass lens.
Threaded metal inserts allow for optimal torque load when mounting the optic to a pistol slide and installing the side-load battery tray while additional metal inserts provide increased accuracy and long term durability for the windage and elevation adjustment mechanisms.
The ROMEO-RS features a convenient side-mounted illumination adjustment button embedded into the polymer housing to prevent accidental interference and the side-load battery tray makes battery replacements easy to do while maintaining zero. SIG SAUER’s updated footprint design maintains true compatibility with industry-standard optics cuts while allowing for the additional lock-up strength provided by steel recoil pins to eliminate the potential for any lateral shift.
Built in Tualatin Oregon the ROMEO-RS was engineered to deliver premium red dot functionality at a cost that’s within reach of any shooter.
