As a firearms enthusiast and a daily concealed carrier, I was thrilled to test out the Sig Sauer ROMEO-X Enclosed Compact. This optic stands out for its fully enclosed design, meaning the emitter is entirely protected from dust, dirt, snow, water, rain, pocket lint, and carbon, providing superior durability and reliability. This new optic from SIG gives us another option for concealed carry. More good options are always better.

The ROMEO-X zeroed quickly and easily, with the clear glass providing an undistorted view free from any fishbowl or rolling effect. The adjustments have a small detent or click which I liked. The side removable battery is unobtrusive and makes battery changes straightforward. The optic shares much of the design with the military’s SIG M17 red dot, including the advanced coatings used on the lens. The use of the RMSc footprint ensures compatibility with a wide range of smaller compact pistols. There is also a full size version available.
In practical use, the ROMEO-X has thus far maintained zero and been issue-free. The motion-activated illumination and multiple illumination settings allow for adaptability in any lighting situation, making it a reliable choice for both competitive shooting and personal defense.
