There was a time, not all that long ago, when any kind of optical sight imported from Asia was considered to be mediocre at best, and junk at worst. This was especially true of stuff imported from China, which was often panned as being only suitable for .22s or airsoft.<\/p>\n

A lot has changed in the last fifteen years.<\/p>\n

Today, quality, affordable optics, manufactured in China, the Philippines, and Japan are readily available from a variety of big-name companies. There is still plenty of airsoft-grade junk out there, too, so shooters are advised to do a little research before buying.<\/p>\n

In some cases, the optic is made for a variety of customers with slightly different features or aesthetics. (You may notice some distinct similarities between the Sig Sauer Romeo 5 and several other 1x20mm red dots on the market.)<\/p>\n

SIG Sauer Romeo 5 Review<\/h2>\n

Last year I became interested in the Sig Romeo 5 miniature red dot. They were available, at the time, for about $125.00 (they run closer to $150 as of this writing in December 2020), and by most accounts were tough, reliable, and well-made.<\/p>\n

I saw torture tests on YouTube that included submerging them in water for a length of time, freezing them, even blasting them with birdshot, and the sight was still functional. The low cost, the features, and the apparent durability of the sight led me to purchase not one, but two of them, for two different applications.<\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s review the features.<\/h2>\n

The Sig Sauer Romeo-5<\/a> is a 1x20mm electronic red dot sight. Here are the specifications per the manufacturer\u2019s website:<\/p>\n
