Designed specifically for the U.S. Military contract M17 handguns, the ROMEO-M17 delivers the quality and performance that all Sig Sauer products are known for. It attaches to the host weapon via SIG-LOC (Sig Leverage Optimizing Connection) – a proprietary design that mounts from underneath pistol slide and reuses the MHS pistol rear sight block to create a solid interface between the optic and pistol. The ROMEO-M17’s housing is made from high-strength 7075 Aluminum, and utilizes a fully enclosed argon purged optical system for ultimate protection from the elements, recoil, and impacts. Two drainage holes machined in the sides of the housing allows pooled liquid to escape when the optic goes from a vertical position (such as in a holster) to a horizontal position (such as shooting).
The ROMEO-M17 is powered by a single CR2032 battery and features a minimum continuous runtime of 20,000 hours at the medium brightness setting. The battery compartment is side-mounted, allowing the battery to be changed without removing the optic from the pistol. The ROMEO-M17’s reticle allows the user to choose between a 2 MOA dot, a 32 MOA circle, or a dot/circle combination. Other features of the ROMEO-M17 include independent brightness adjustment buttons that are recessed within a protective plate which can be activated even with gloves on. Buttons have bump features above UP and below DOWN, so they can be determined by feel.
Features of the ROMEO-M17:
