Try to zero your Romeo1 each time you go to the range. When I got the gun. It was dead on the front sight. After 3 range sessions with it I noticed my shots were going to the low left. I thought I was having an off day. Had another guy shoot it and it was still going left. Bought a laser bore sight and saw that the red dot was way off. So even though the product manual says it won’t lose its zero because of the springs attached inside. You might want to check it always, especially after a shooting session.

It’s already there but with a different issue. The diode lost it’s brightness. It still turns on. But it’s very dim. I asked about the zero issue. They told me it will lose its zero. It’s not guaranteed that it will hold. Theoretically it will stay zeroed for the most part because of how it’s designed. But it’s not perfect. That’s why you have to check it. For me. I don’t mind checking the sights. If after 3 range sessions it loses its zero. It’s fair for me. But if it loses its zero after just one session or even one shot then there’s a problem.

When I used the bore Sighter to zero it. I do see that the red dot does not change dramatically from 25 to 10 yards. The change is so little. I zero my red dot at 17 yards when I get home. Because that’s how I think I will use the gun. (17 yards is the estimated distance from my bed to the door, distance from the top of the stairs to the bottom of the stairs. Same with my basement stairs) then change the zero if I want to shoot farther at the range. I also use a rail laser to mark the point of impact cause I’m lazy. I don’t want to go walk down the range or push buttons just to check my target.

I hope they replace it too. I might have gotten a bad unit. But the person I spoke with told me that it happens. Then we got into the conversation that you know, with any equipment you still have to check it once in a while. Even if it’s meant to perform well. Same with cars, airplanes, snowblowers, etc. because you don’t want to be in a situation that when you need it the most, it doesn’t work properly.

Honestly I was wishing that this happened after they sold off every Romeo1 that they have. So that I might get the new ones that are coming out [emoji23]

Dang, you're pretty understanding! That would be entirely unacceptable to me. I shoot my guns a LOT, 2-3 range trips a week. So the zero is confirmed regularly. If I had to tweak them more than once a year, I'd think they were broken. But I've just not had any issues there.



Your staircases are 51 feet long? Holy cow! That must be some house.


Yeah, I hear you there. But I figure over time, I'll get there. None of my Romeo's has stood the test of time, so I'm sure they'll run out of the crappy refurb's they've been sending me as replacements sooner or later.

I know right? My wife tells me that too. But I try to be nice as much as possible. I’ve been angry most of my teenage years. [emoji23]. Anyway, i wasn’t able to bring it to the range after zeroing it again because I sent it out to Oregon. When it gets back I’ll go to the range. I do hope they replace the whole unit. But if they only repair it, it’s fine with me.

Oh sorry. I meant feet. I must have been thinking feet but for some reason I wrote yards.

The more I’ve been reading about the Romeo 1 pro. The more I’m inclined to think that the new one would have the same footprint with the old Romeo. I think the Romeo 2 will be the different footprint same with the DPP

Just wanted to give an update on my Romeo1 issues. Sorry OP. Wanted to post it here because I mentioned the issue I had with it here.

So I got the Romeo back a week ago. It was a refurbished unit. Everything worked great. I even noticed that there was a click when you adjust the windage. My first one didn’t have that click. Which means the first one was really defective. I noticed that the refurb I got had a small black line on the lower right part of the glass. I initially thought it was a crack. But it was a scratch on the front tint of the lens.

Honestly it didn’t bother me because the Romeo was working flawlessly. But I still wanted to call sig and let them know. When I called them I told them about the issue and said that if it’s not covered by the warranty, I can live with it. He apologized nicely and told me that I should have gotten a new one the first time I had an issue with the Romeo. So he told me to send the refurb back and he will send me a brand new one ASAP. 2 days later I received this.

You might want to ask for new ones again. They might be sending out new in a box units for replacements. My refurb one took 2 weeks before I got it. Both the refurb and the new one came from Oregon.

Just an update on the new in a box Romeo I got. I noticed that the brightness of the dot I have right now is too bright. From the lowest setting it only needs one push up for it to be bright and the highest setting was super bright. Can’t really see through it well. This might be my eyes but compared to the factory one I got and the refurb one. Both were the same brightness. I need 2-3 button presses before I got to my preferred brightness. I don’t know if the new in the box one is broken too. But shot with it yesterday and everything was perfect. It held its zero. I don’t know yet if this will cause the battery to run out quickly.
