That’s the deal with optics, especially as you get into high end magnified scopes. Often times more expensive than the gun. This red dot is probably way overpriced though. Sig definitely wants that sweet government contract money.

@@OneD33pTXthere’s quite a few reports of ACRO P2s having multiple failures. Moisture inside the optic, cracked glass under normal use, battery only lasting a few months and parts rattling around inside the housing. Not to mention how massive the optic body is for such a tiny window. ACRO is overall a failure for Aimpoint standards imo. It’s just not a great design. Currently I think the RCR is the only enclosed non Chinese optic worth anything. Hopefully SIG drops a useable Romeo M17 with the Romeo X enclosed using a normal footprint.

@Mockturtlesoup1 Жыл бұрын

Why must Sig insist on attaching the rear sight to the optic plate/cover? I bought a sig p365xl a year or two ago after 15+ years of carrying mid sized glocks, and I am so happy with my decision. That being said, for some reason(despite the regular p365s not being like this), they mounted/attached the rear sight to the optic plate/cover, such that I can't switch it out for the irons of my choice(not that the X-ray sights are horrible or anything, just not what I prefer), but even worse, it makes it so that I lose my rear sight if I mount an optic, which I am leaving mote and more towards doing. And in typical Sig fashion, wouldn't you know it they changed the XLs(all versions of the 365 I think actually) so that they now have a seperate rear sight dovetail behind the optic plate. So I guess now I have to buy a new slide.🙄🙄 At least this new one gives you a rear sight and a dot.

@Ben-zr4ho Ай бұрын

I dont love Sig optice. I have a Romeo Zero on my P365 because thats what they put on them when they trick them out themselves and because I got a good deal on it. For one everyone (all the gun stores Ive seen) seems to run it without the housing. And it looks so cool and sleek without the housing but then everyone complains that they banged it into something once and it broke. You need that housing and it just doesnt look nearly as cool or sleek. Its control button is like inside near the actual lense and you cant access it without smudging the lense up with a finger print. Plus that dot itself looks like a smudged fingerprint. Lol. Its just not crisp. Finally even though there are 8 brightness settings its like 1-4 is too dim and 5-8 is way too bright.

Except that glass. I love Trijicon but after replacing my MRO with a Romeo 4T it kind of ruined Trijicon for me. Trijicon could be on top if they swapped to aspherical glass like Sig yet they still run trash glass with a slight magnification and awful distortion. SIGs glass is currently second to none (EOTech doesn’t count as it’s a holo sight). Sig does make some cheap Chinese optics I wouldn’t bother with though.
