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

Still alive said:
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?

Well it is designed by SIG with all the features that suggest it is the optic they intend to pitch to the LEO Departments in the US so I have to think it is as rugged as any on the market. From the literature it has an interesting ON feature. Apparently holstered and off goes to on when the shooter grabs the gun. I have no idea what is behind the technology but I am certain SIG has tested the hell out of it before bringing it to market. A fellow on the Cast Bullet Forum uses a Burris Fastfire in Steel Shoots and has for a number of years and has not had any problem with wondering zeros. Is that an issue you have witnessed with some of the Optics?

I just put 200 rounds down range with my Vortex Viper in one quick session with no issues and have about 500 on it in total now, again with no issues to date.

Take Care

Leupold DeltaPoint turns itself off when the pistol is immobile. Move it and it is on. I suppose that the control is an accelerometer. There is no manual off-on switch.

RMRs are something I've not used extensively but it seems like the trend is going that way and I want on the bus! Also, my eyes are going bad enough that I can't focus clearly on the front sights.
So to answer your question Bob, I have no experience to really speak of on RMRs except that I heard that the Romeo 1 was not that good. So I put the question to the good folks here to get their consensus. By the sounds of things, I have nothing to worry about. The 320RX will be a strong contender for my next toy.
Thanks!
 
RMR dual illumination units have the advantage of not needing batteries. I've used them and like them.
I have a Leupold DeltaPoint. Got it just before the DP was replaced by the DP Pro. The adjusting system for the old DP uses a tiny Torx wrench in a size unknown to mankind, and if used on a CORE requires that the wrench be modified to clear the rear sight. The irons can be seen through the optic, in the event of a dead battery, etc.
I have older eyes, have to use prescription shooting glasses to see the front sight clearly. With the optic, I wear my progessives. The optic is a vast improvement over the irons.
