The SIG Sauer Electro Optics division has just launched another enclosed-emitter red-dot sight, the new Romeo-X SIG LOC Compact. This new red-dot sight is meant to be compatible with pistols like the SIG P365 series with thinner slides. The Romeo-X SIG LOC Compact has roots to the development of the SIG Sauer Romeo M17 pistol mounted reflex sight, and like its bigger brother, was created around providing a a low-profile, but tough connection between the bottom of the sight and the top of the correspond pistol-slide surface. As such, the new Romeo-X SIG LOC Compact has five different points of contact between the slide and the optic in order to eliminate zero shift that may occur from repeated shock as the by-product of recoil or harsh impacts. In addition to a more secure fit between red-dot sight and the slide, the uniquely shaped base of the Romeo-X SIG LOC Compact allows for the unit to have a longer focal length that helps reduce both parallax and distortion issues.

- Inspired by the mil-spec Romeo M17 duty-grade red-dot sight
