Garmil Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think if they just got rid of the extra material in front it would be better and allow for more rts2 mounts to be used. Alma do you know the mounting pattern of the Romeo 1 for sure yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Seehawer Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 It isn't the same as the RTS2 mount? I thought that's what you were using. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Yeah I'm using a rts2 mount. Was asking him about the romeo1 Edited July 23, 2016 by Garmil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think if they just got rid of the extra material in front it would be better and allow for more rts2 mounts to be used. Alma do you know the mounting pattern of the Romeo 1 for sure yet? I don't know for sure. Spacing and relative position on the set screws looks similar to the Delta Point but as with the Romeo3 it may be a bit longer. Both the Romeo1 and the Romeo3 may have been designed with a longer base to allow for the dots to be dovtailed into a slide cut like a giant rear sight might be. Kind of a unique design since the set screws are really just a backup to hold everything in place rather than the primary mechanism. The Romeo1 is pretty light as well. I think Bruce Gray said it was .6 to .7 oz but I haven't verified that myself yet. The stand alone Romeo1s aren't shipping yet. Looks like they are putting any that they can find on full size P320 RX being sold through Cabela's. So far so good is what I am hearing from those who have been shooting those guns.

Kingman Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 If they got rid of the open space under the front cover the SVI blast shield would work great. It appears to be otherwise the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Seehawer Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 It's cheaper to modify the mount than the dot at this point. It's not like RTS2's are flying off the shelves either at this point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips0410 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Deceided to try one of these myself ! Initial impression is I'm going to love this thing .. Glass is very clear the dot is super bright and easy to pick up ... Switched from a slideride cmore and loving how less cluttered the slide looks with this thing .... I modified a slide ride mount to fit this bad boy because I was to impatient to wait for a rts mount only 100 rounds in and I'm liking it as long as it holds zero will be good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) It looks great on that mount. Well done. I wonder whether the depth of the lense could be an advantage if it rains. Edited July 28, 2016 by alma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 we need double tap or SVI to make a mount. I am a firm believer in double sided mounts now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ano Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Why the double sided mount? its a very light optic, allthough a double sided mount could be made thinner allowing it to sit even lower. any undrilled mounts? got a.. well unknown mount with slideride, dont feel like more holes in the frame.

Kingman Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Well, when I talked to Brandon at SVI about why he stayed 2 sided he told me that they measured flex on a single sided mount and found the movement to be more than they wanted even with the RTS2. Just to ADD over 10k on the one on my open gun so far. Edited August 17, 2016 by Kingman round count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Would the Romeo 1 work on an RTS2 mount as well, or is it a different mounting pattern? I'm honestly a little more interested in that version over the R3. Little less bulky, no overhang in the front, but still the motion-sensor capability and similar dot...

Kingman Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Romeo 3 is on my RTS2 mount exactly with a hair of overhang. I am pretty sure the R1 is smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 So the R1 would likely not fit on an RTS2 mount, as the R3 does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's different but now that I have the R1, I unfortunately don't have the R3 on hand to compare. Does this mounting pattern resemble anything else?

Steve RA Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Could you measure the length - fore and aft - and then hopefully someone with a R3 will do the same and we can compare them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I looked on the Sig site and found the following: R1 is 1X30 and is 1.8" long R3 is 1X25 and is 2.3" long Would seem the R1 has a larger window than the R3, also seems to be less expensive if the prices on Amazon are correct.

Garmil Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Wider window on the 1. I'm guessing taller on the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Ok, so now we need to find out if the R1 fits an RTS 2 mount. I am impressed with the SIG optics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ano Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) If the romeo1 is bigger lens, smaller package AND cheaper, why would we choose the romeo3? edit, update, found some ish spec, can anyone confirm? quick math makes the lens of the romeo3 to be close to what they spec 25 wide x 21 high, if we guess dimensions and material thickness are somewhat similar on the romeo1 it would be like 30 wide and 16 high.. 16mm is getting rather tiny, especially when used to the 29mm slideride... why cant they just make something similar? the romeo3, with just a taller glass would be perfect, but guessing its not superdupertactical fo the conceal carry application, but it would make a really nice low bore to sight distance.

joerocket Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) It's made for pistols so you want it to be low. You can add a riser to it. The Romeo 3 is more rugged for the greater abuse a rifle takes. Edited August 22, 2016 by joerocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfisher Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 So being new to these Micro sights what is the consensus on the better way to go? 1 or 3? if the issue is height over bore looks to be 1, if the issue is just seeking a smaller package than a standard C-more then 3?

Kingman Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I have the 3. It is taking a beating on my open gun. Debated the 1 for future, the shorter but wider window interests me. Unfortunately none are for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
