$800 for a Sig when the Aimpoint ACRO P2 exists for $600 tells me the Sig price is purely a government contract price they pulled out if their ass.

Trijicon winking In the corner right now. 😂

It’s so cool there’s no screws visible in this Chinese optic. They will back out internally and jam when you least expect it.

[Deuce_Dufresne]

Can’t wait for Sage Dynamics to break it

[sadATLsportsfan]

I’ve had 3 sig optics and they all blew ass.

[michaelmillwood]

I know it says M17 (and I see the packaging behind it), but it looks exactly like my “M18” did before I did any customizations.

[alejandrobecerra]

Holosun red dot has the same thing for any gun you may have has 2 moa or 65 moa

[Watchdog_McCoy_.x]

So if the screws do back out they will jam up the internals and cause a catastrophic malfunction.

Sig wouldn’t fix my brand new Romeo 2 when I sent it in for a fix, but the store I bought it from agreed that it was defective and gave my money back, never trusting Sig again!

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.

I really don't trust sig on anything new. It seems more and more like half their development budget is just going straight to lobbying.

I'm on the budget 🚂 here I'm using the CT-1550 $75 from PSA works just fine on my 🔫 & I'm extremely happy to have it!!

[wolfgangfitzgibbon]

I used to break my optic off racking my weapon on its holster. I like how the iron sites would still be there after that inst of firing off the corner of the slide.

[Dos]

I like it, particularly the multi-recticle feature. More MRD options out there, the better for all us. My hope is a version that can mount on any pistol, not just for Sig.

[Locutus]

A Sig optic (or Sig anything) the "best built ever"?!! 🤣😂 That's some good crack you're on!

[Saiyijon]

I hope the quality is worth the $800 price tag. I thought about buying a Romeo zero for my 365 until I read all the issues of batteries dying in 2-4 months.

[Broadtheme]

THEY NEED TO DROP THE COMMERCIAL ONE AT THE SAME TIME IM TIRED OF WAITING!

[Dugout]

My sig optic died within a year. My Holosuns and Eotechs are still cruising years and years later.

[Ben-zrho]

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.

Don’t worry it’s only $800 but sold out everywhere unless you buy ones that are selling it for $1000+
