What’s the Difference between the SIG Romeo Zero, 1, & 2 Pistol Optics?

Posted on by One comment

While Glock, S&W, and others sell pistols and have optics cuts on a lot of their newer models, SIG is kind of unique in the respect that they make both handguns and compatible red dots as well.

Over the past few months, I have been doing my own research when it comes to the company’s Romeo series (Zero, One, Two, Three Max, etc) of pistol-mounted red dots and have put together a guide to the above in my column at Guns.com.

Not gonna lie, tho, I like the Romeo 2 myself, it has proved bombproof in a T&E 10mm P320 XTen over the summer.

Sig Goes Modular in Pistol Red Dots

New Hampshire-based Sig Sauer this week announced that the new Romeo 2 red dot is now shipping, in a choice of four different reticles

Billed by Sig as designed and built “for the most rugged and adverse conditions” the Romeo 2 uses a 7075 aluminum housing that features a modular shroud system including two steel shrouds to provide multiple layers of protection and allow the user to configure their optic in three different profiles.

Two steel shrouds and a polycarbonate rear window allow the Romeo 2 to be used in three different configurations from open to fully enclosed. The optic is rated IPX7 when it comes to waterproofing. (Photo: Sig)

It also is night-vision friendly for goon work, with Sig’s Dark Adaptive Reticles & Coating system and three of the 15 brightness settings are specifically for use with PNVs. A MAGNETAC system automatically turns off the optic when holstered with a compatible holster and turns in on when drawn. (Photo: Sig)
