NEWINGTON, N.H., (April 14, 2023) – SIG SAUER Electro-Optics is proud to introduce theROMEO-M17 pistol mounted red dot sight.  Developed from the ground up for the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System to be the ultimate in performance, reliability and durability.  The ROMEO-M17 is designed specifically to fit U.S. Military Modular Handgun System M17/M18 pistols, M17/M18 Commemorative Special Editions and M17/M18 Surplus pistols with a single hole in the slide to secure the sight plate.  It does not fit standard P320 or commercial P320-M17/M18 slides.  Commercial variations of compatible pistols and slides will be available in the coming months. 

“The fully sealed ROMEO-M17 is the next revolution in red dot optics; it answers the call to withstand the rigors of the battlefield and works seamlessly with the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System,” said Andy York, President, SIG SAUER Electro-Optics. "The ROMEO-M17 is the first red dot sight to incorporate SIG SAUER's patent-pending SIG-LOC™ mounting system.  SIG-LOC (Leveraged Optimized Connection) features a new proprietary bottom-mount technology that has multiple interface features between the pistol slide and the optic that provides for an extremely strong and robust lock-up.  This new mounting system, when combined with the side-mounted battery on the ROMEO-M17, allows the optic to have an extremely low position when mounted to the slide, giving the user a full sight picture and co-witness with the existing standard-height iron sights.  This sight was engineered, tested, and built-in Oregon to be the ultimate aiming solution for the MHS pistols."
