In a recent announcement, SIG SAUER Electro-Optics introduced its latest masterpiece, the ROMEO-X Series of red-dot sights, redefining the realm of everyday carry optics. The Series represents a fusion of military-grade performance and unmatched precision, purpose-built to meet the rigorous demands of concealed carry and everyday carry (EDC). Inspired by the esteemed mil-spec ROMEO-M17, the ROMEO-X Series showcases SIG SAUER’s commitment to innovation and reliability, promising an unparalleled shooting experience.
Designed for EDC Excellence
Designed to deliver exceptional performance without compromise, the ROMEO-X Series consists of two distinctive models: the ROMEO-X Compact for micro-compact pistols like the popular P365, and the ROMEO-X Pro, tailored for full-size pistols such as the P320. With both models designed for seamless integration and precise aiming, the ROMEO-X Series ensures shooters of all skill levels can benefit from its cutting-edge technology.
“The ROMEO-X family of red dot sights is completely optimized for everyday carry and built using the same technology and testing standards of our mil-spec optics that are designed to withstand the rigors of the battlefield,” shared Andy York, President of SIG SAUER Electro-Optics.
York highlighted the manufacturer’s commitment to deliver top-tier performance to civilian shooters without compromising quality.
ROMEO-X: Unrivaled Technology
At the heart of the ROMEO-X Series lies a combination of advanced features. Distortion-free aspheric glass ensures optical clarity, while the Beryllium Copper flexure-arm adjustment system enables precision adjustments with ease. The rugged 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum housing, complete with anti-reflection grooves, ensures durability and resilience in any environment, making it a reliable companion for everyday carry.
The red-dot sights of the ROMEO-X Series feature a high-efficiency point source red LED emitter, delivering a crisp 2 MOA dot / 32 MOA circle reticle. This unique configuration allows for quick target acquisition and enhanced accuracy, catering to both close-quarters encounters and precise long-range shots. With 15 brightness settings, including night vision compatibility, the ROMEO-X Series adapts seamlessly to any lighting condition.
SIG SAUER
Excellent Battery Life, Co-Witness Compatibility
One of the most notable innovations in the ROMEO-X Series is its side-mounted CR1632 battery compartment with a threaded battery cap, facilitating easy battery changes without dismounting the optic from the pistol. With a minimum continuous runtime of 20,000 hours at a medium brightness setting, the ROMEO-X Series ensures shooters are always ready for any situation that arises.
Embracing forward-thinking technology, the ROMEO-X Series incorporates MOTAC™ (Motion Activated Illumination) and MAGNETAC™ (Magnetic Activation) technologies, automatically powering up the optic when motion is detected and conserving battery life during periods of inactivity. Additionally, the D.A.R.C™ (Dark Adaptive Reticles & Coatings) technology guarantees optimal reticle brightness and clarity, ensuring clear aiming even in challenging lighting conditions.

One feature that sets the ROMEO-X Series apart is its low deck height, allowing for a perfect co-witness with standard-height iron sights. This feature enhances situational awareness for shooters, providing a seamless transition between the red dot and iron sights, regardless of experience level.
Two Unique Models
Below are the features and specifications of both available variants: the ROMEO-X Compact and the ROMEO-X Pro.
The ROMEO-X Compact is engineered explicitly for micro-compact pistols, such as the popular P365. With its precise aperture diameter of 24mm, this variant offers shooters a wide field of view, making it ideal for quick target acquisition in close-quarters engagements. Its compact design, measuring just 1.62 inches in overall length and 0.94 inches in width, ensures it seamlessly integrates into the firearm’s profile for concealed carry. The ROMEO-X Compact utilizes the SHIELD™ RMSc mounting footprint, providing a secure and precise attachment to the pistol slide.
On the other hand, the ROMEO-X Pro caters to full-size pistols, such as the P320, and boasts identical specifications to its Compact counterpart, providing a more substantial sight picture while maintaining a low-profile appearance. Measuring 1.84 inches in overall length, the ROMEO-X Pro ensures a reliable and precise shooting experience.
