Sig P320 RX ... Factory pistol with a red dot?

[Kevin M.]

Been looking into these for a little while now, and it seems to scratch my strong urge to put a red dot on a pistol to try it out... but without having to alter any of my current pistols.

I love the idea of a pistol made from the factory to fit a micro sight, and zeroed with cowitnessed irons right out of the box.

Any idea when these neat little things might become available in Canada?

Hopefully they will soon arrive, according to various posts by MD Charlton. I believe they are saying Spring/early summer. They are available for preorder--# is 320F-9-BSS-RX(for the 9mm).

The P320 X5 will also feature a slide that has been milled to accept a SIG Romeo1. You simply remove the adjustable rear sight.

I can see me picking up one of these - I fancy a red dot pistol and these just look "right"

I already have a P320 and debated adding a red dot but I'm gonna wait until these come out and decide then

I've been looking at this as well.My local gun store (Ottawa) says April / May for around $1100.00.
I have a red dot on my M&P 22 and love it. I was thinking of modifying my CZ 75b special for a red dot until I saw the 320 RX.

I have one mounted on a CZ New Edition. It takes a bit of practice to get used to the red dot but once you do it does make for fast shooting. I found myself concentrating ti much on the dot rather than concentrating on the target. Once I got over that things became a lot easier. If you have issues with your trigger pull the red dot will certainly bring it to your attention. The SIG is a good buy at $1,100 considering you get a >$400 red dot with the gun. The SIG red dot optic has some interesting features which makes me think SIG will be chasing the LEO market in the US with the gun. I would think the red dot, if it is accepted would cut down training time considerably with the pistol and improve scoring as well.

Hi Bob. I'd love to see some pics of your set up. I'm still on the fence wether to wait for the 320 RX or mod my New Eddition.

I've been curious about a red dot on a pistol for a while now, but I was wondering how often you have to re-zero the dot since its jostled around when the slide rides back and forth

 

[Elkbooger]

Doesn't have to mount to the slide, my M&P 22 below.
And now having seem Bob's set up, I think I'll do the same thing to my New Edition. Cheaper than a 320RX and available now! THX Bob!

Doesn't seem to be an issue.

There is a night and day difference between shooting with Irons and an optic. I'll never go back to irons.

If you stop and think about it, sight alignment, sight picture and trigger control are critical to accurate pistol shooting. Using an optic eliminates sight alignment.

I have had no issues with mine and don't expect any. They do take a little time ti get used to but once you get on to them sight acquisition is faster than notch and post. I have about 300 rounds on mine and the bullets go where the dot is pointing to. Most of the time where I want the bullet to go corresponds. LOL

That is a really nice CZ. Brushed?

Yes. The slide is a two tone stainless. I have always thought the New Edition aka Limited Edition in the US was the pretiest of the CZ's.

Anyone know anything about the SIG Romeo RDS selling with the P320? Are they any good?
I haven't researched it too much but was told they are not good compared to Trijicon or Leupold RMRs?

I agree. Here's my baby with the Cocobolo grips. Very likely to soon be sporting a viper on top of a springer mount as per Bob's recommendations...

 

[Canuck44]

Vert nice. I took my wood grips off and installed the CZ rubber grips. I prefer the feel of the soft rubber grips for long range sessions. The wooden grips do look better though.

My seller says the Romeo 1 is worth around the $450.00 mark on its own. Not the quality of a Trijicon or Leupold but when considering its bundled on a SIG with factory install, zeroed, co-witness sights AND factory warrantee for $1100.00ish, its a great value. Keep in mind also that the T & L's are milspec. I don't need that for killing cardboard...

I was thinking of getting my G22 milled at TacOrd, getting the taller suppressor sights and a Trijicon but the cost would be astronomical. You're right, the Romeo 1 is good value as a package with the 320. But is it rugged enough for holding zero and not crapping out in the middle of a match?
