![]() ![]() In short, range and EDC testing were an easy task for the ROMEOZero. A quick trip back to the bench confirmed this as the group was almost identical to my first round at the range days earlier. I fired five shots on the target and was pleased to find the optic had not shifted zero in the slightest. When I got back to the range and set up, I quickly drew the gun as if it were a lethal force encounter. My biggest question was whether it would hold zero after several days of active wear in a real day to day environment. It was unnoticeable and didn’t create any issues at all. I found that the ROMEOZero did not affect anything regarding concealed carry. At the end of that time I headed back to the range for a little more shooting. ![]() I wanted to see how it carried and ultimately to see if any issues arose. In addition to range time, I spent several days carrying the SIG ROMEOZero with the P365 XL. When you take that into consideration along with how much faster it allows you to get on target, it quickly becomes a no-brainer. The optic has such a small footprint that it did not affect my draw whatsoever. I didn’t find this to be true at all with the SIG ROMEOZero. Many people have a justifiable concern that adding an optic to their carry gun will make it bulky and difficult to draw. I am a concealed carry advocate and do my best to test guns in a CCW type application. This became an ongoing theme as I moved from drill to drill. I found the optic to have excellent clarity and the dot made aiming significantly faster compared to using standard pistol sights. The gun glass combo performed well, as a true single ragged hole developed on the target after five rounds. I ran a ragged hole drill to begin not only to test the gun and optic, but to once again check my zero. Having an optic too bright in the middle of a bright day can be a bit much. I have found that keeping it only as bright as you absolutely have to helps improve accuracy. The day was clear and bright, so I adjusted the dot to match the ambient light. It was one of those days where the stars aligned and zeroing didn’t take long. ![]() After a simple installation process, I benched the gun to get it properly zeroed. My range time with the optic/pistol combo was thorough to say the least. The P365 XL comes with an optics-ready slide, so it was just a matter of attaching the ROMEOZero with two screws - fast and easy. On the Rangeįor me, installation was pretty simple. The ROMEOZero is available in both 3 and 6 MOA. It offers eight vivid daytime settings with a point source LED emitter that is highly efficient and parallax free, offering a much crisper dot than other conventional red dots. Daytime illumination is user configurable. This is literally unrivaled in the world of micro reflex sights. The ROMEOZero has a 10-year battery life. The MOTAC system aids tremendously in preserving battery life, which is pretty substantial to begin with. Why is that useful? Because the optic powers back up at that same setting. It saves the last setting the optic was on when it powers down. This technology powers up illumination immediately when it senses motion and will power down when the optic is still. MOTAC technology (Motion Activated Illumination System) powers the ROMEOZero. The added durability and resistance to both the housing and lens could significantly make a difference and makes EDC with the new optic a simple task. Concealing a gun with an optic incorporated can lead to issues and damage caused by repeated holstering and unholstering. Both of these features are specifically useful given SIG designed the optic primarily for everyday concealed carry. The Spectra Coat HD Polymer Lens system offers 10 times the resistance to impact over other traditional glass lenses. SIG made the ROMEOZero Weapons Grade Ultralite Polymer housing, which gives it the element of durability. The ROMEOZero enables rapid target acquisition in an everyday carry package at an iron sight price.” The SIG ROMEOZero Build The sight features a ruggedized, Weapons Grade textured polymer body and the Spectra Coat HD Polymer lens system. SIG describes this optic as, “The fastest, most accurate, ultra-compact micro reflex sight - the ROMEOZero has been optimized for everyday concealed carry and pistols with slim slide profiles. For starters, the stippling pattern incorporated on the optics housing is made to match the P365 and P365XL to give a cohesive and integrated look. Aesthetically, the new red dot is quite different from others in the SIG Optics family. Having been among the first to test the new P365 XL, I was also given the opportunity to test one of the ROMEOZero prototypes.
