I have quite a bit of experience with tube red dot scopes from UltraDot, but I'd never had one of these miniature red dot sights (MRDS) before. A couple of months ago, I got on a waiting list for a Sig ROMEO 1 PRO with 3 m.o.a. dot. I had been considering a Leupold Delta Point Pro, but after looking at the different features and prices, I decided on the Sig. I got my first ROMEO 1 PRO around the 18th of January. After mounting it, it became apparent that the windage and elevation couldn't be adjusted to sight it in. I contacted Sig and after a short discussion, they e-mailed me a FEDEX shipping label to ship the faulty optic back. After receiving it, Sig agreed that the sight was defective. After I waited a week, I re-contacted Sig and they said that they got a new shipment in, but that they were defective and it would be another 3 weeks or so before I'd get a replacement. I received my replacement sight on Tuesday, 3/3/20. When I opened the sealed box, I saw that the mounting screws were missing. I called Sig and advised them. The customer service rep. said that they would overnight me the screws. I got the screws yesterday at 10:30 a.m. and I mounted the sight without any issues.
I made a trip to American Shooters in Clarksville today. It only took me 4 shots to get the ROMEO 1 PRO sighted in at 15 yards. After that it required a little tweaking here and there to adjust it for the different loads I was shooting today. The sight held zero with about 175 rounds of 9mm ammo. The lens is clear and the dot is round. The sight has an aluminum housing with a stainless steel protective "cage" that surrounds it. It has an auto turn off feature and plenty of brightness adjustments. It is a solid piece of equipment and well designed.
A negative is that the groove that is for use as an emergency rear "iron" sight on the ROMEO 1 PRO MRDS is not regulated for the standard front sight. Using the standard front sight and integral rear sight notch on the MRDS my rounds printed 11" high at 10 yards. To be fair, a customer service rep. did advise me that it was made to be regulated with a tall "suppressor height" front sight. That makes sense and if I were going to carry this set up, I'd install a "suppressor height" front sight on my Sig P 320 Compact X. Some people may find that the "cage" makes operating the buttons a little difficult. A glaring negative is that the manufacturing facility is behind the eight ball in production and quality control. Waiting a few months to let the manufacturing facility get its act together might be a wise move. I do have to give Sig's customer service an A for being honest and efficient. They handled everything that they had control over extremely well.
I have been working on producing some accurate 9mm loads with different brands and weights of coated lead bullets. Looks like this load with ACME bullets is a keeper for me. It measures 1 1/4" extreme spread (three shots touching) at 25 yards. My goal, has been to develop a load at 25 yards of 3" or so. The group before this one, also met my expectations, with an extreme spread of 3"x2".
