I've liked my Romeo 1, and even carried it quite a bit. It's been in the vault for a week or 2. I got it out today, with three other guns to get some trigger time. I pulled it out of my range bag, removed the cover, and it wasn't lit. I never turn it off, I just let it go to sleep. It's always "woke up" as soon as I pick up the gun. I messed with the buttons but no light from the emitter. I check the battery cover daily when I'm carrying it, and after every range session. I decided to use this as a chance to use the back up sights. After 3 rounds it started working. Usually it "wakes up" by simply moving the gun. I've sit it on a shelf before to verify it goes to sleep, and seen it wake up as soon as I move it.
Is this a common problem? Could this be a symptom of a low battery? The battery is ~6 months old but it hasn't lost any brightness.
I've got a Shield sights SMS on my X-compact. I may just get another one for the gun I have the Romeo on. I don't know if I will trust it to carry......unless some of you tell me the battery is simply too old..needs to be changed.
