While I’m not willing to shoot my helmet to find out, I am pretty sure that it will hold up against 9mm as long as it’s not at point blank range. Mine is pretty well molded fiberglass and I do believe it has some Kevlar woven into it. I seriously doubt that I will ever need it for the purpose for which it was intended. To be honest, it is much better made and much thicker than the last helmet I was issued when I went to Iraq in 2005, and that experience has a lot to do with why I think it should hold up against 9mm. On the other hand, I am also pretty sure a 5.56 round will probably go through it like a hot knife through warm butter.

... this is marketed as a Class 4 ~ I just watched a guy shoot a hole in it with a 22 long rifle. He wasn't Happy. ... This is called fraud. It could get someone dumbass killed.

If they don't give you a good ballistic helmet, I understand Team Wendy is supposed to be really good.

Thank you for the comment. I didn't know that Mr Guns and Gear actually tested the helmet. I will go take a look. Again, thank you for your comment.

You are correct, as has been pointed out by several before you. I should have done some research, but I didn't even think about doing research because Sig recommended it as a replacement for my old Romeo 1. I also didn't think about doing research, because it was marketed as the RomeoX "Pro" for larger pistols. I seriously did not expect that something marketed "Pro" for full size pistols would maintain the profile of an optic for a compact carry gun. The other issue is the low profile. Again, for a compact carry gun it makes sense, but not on a full size carry gun that someone might like to use a silencer on. To give the RomeX Pro, it's due, it is a great optic. It is bomb proof, with side mounted battery and good controls. I love the circle dot reticle. It is just to small for a full size handgun.

I have changed it out for a VG6 muzzle brake and it works very well. Thank you for the comment.

If you felt it was a “long drag on video”, why did you watch it? Apparently, it had some value to you if it made you laugh your ass off. I sincerely appreciate the comment.

Maybe. Aiming isn't really the problem. The problem is acquiring a good sight picture through the optic.

@@GeorgeStarkes Amen my friend, amen.

Yes, it was zeroed. FYI, If you are planning to buy one, be advised that it has very tight tolerances They say it needs a "200 round break-in". Mine needed over 500 rds to break-in. I recommend that you use only brand name factory ammo for at least the first 200-300 rounds.

@ Yes sir I’m aware. I’m more worried about the QC as I see a lot of people complaining about catastrophic failures/pins backing out etc. Have you had any issues?

@@carryeveryday910 I had issues breaking it in because of the tight tolerances on the chamber and barrel, but everything has been good since. Personally, I really like the gun. It is lighter than a standard G19 and is fun to shoot. From what I understand Shadow Systems has great warranty service as long as you don't do anything to the gun. I voided my warranty because I put in an Apex trigger in it. The Shadow Systems trigger was just a shade better than a stock Glock trigger, which is horrible.

Thank you for commenting. It really helps in understanding what I bought. Again, thank you.

@ Thank you

I got it from the company in about seven days. I have no idea where it made. It didn't come from China, but that doesn't mean that isn't where it was made.

Thank you for the quick reply. Tracking shows mine is shipping from china. Has taken 2 weeks to get to the U.S. and has been in los angeles for nearly a week. But again, thanks for the reply and great video.

@@joew7581 You are welcome. Sorry to hear you are having such a delay.

Interesting. Please tell us what is contradictory to the manufacturer. If I am doing something wrong - let us know what it is, so that we can correct our actions. I am unaware of anything that I am doing that is "contradictory" to the manufacturer. All of the tools that I am using on my silencers were purchased from Griffin Armament and are specifically for use on Revolution series silencers. In closing I again ask you to please share with us your knowledge of what I doing that is contradictory to the manufacturer.

It is 23 Dec 24. I just received an email from Griffin Armament and there is NOTHING CONTRADICTORY to what they put out. They just want me to emphasize that this suppressor is not to endure the higher pressures of 300 BLK super sonic rounds.

Again, thank you for taking the time to critique my shooting. I do sincerely appreciate it. I can't get better without people like you sharing what you know.

You are absolutely correct. I have absolutely no training in shooting rifles at distance. I have a lot of handgun training and some carbine tactical training, but none on a rifle in distance shooting. I live in Northeast Ohio and I am hoping that I will be able to get some training next spring. You recommended getting a 22LR. You have to forgive me, but as insane as this may sound, I don't want a 22LR. My practice cartridge is 110 or 125gr 300 BLK. Yes, it is definitely far more expensive than 22 LR, but I can afford it. I have a Ruger American Ranch in an MDT LSS-XL chassis with a MDT SRS Stock and a Vortex Diamondback 4-16x44 Tactical FFP scope. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to comment. Your comments are very helpful and I can't learn without people like you sharing what you know.

Did you bolt or barrel?

@@armeddiver ?? Looking for the same bolt you have on your table to remove the baffles.

@@TomDes-qj9kp The bolt you see in the video is part of the baffle pusher from Griffin Armament. Here is the link - www.griffinarmament.com/baffle-pusher-tools/

@@shawnorcutt2119 so I have learned.

It's an MDT LSS-XL. I have used for a 6.5 CM and a 6 ARC.

I have a set of Guard Dog plates and absolutely love them. I didn't know they did helmets I will definitely take a look.

@@Bigbearjblaze My first optic was an RMR, which I still have and use. The Romeo X Pro has a smaller window than the Trijicon RMR. I have been using a Romeo 1 for about eight years and for me it is the perfect size, but I really thought I needed to replace it because Sig abandoned the Romeo 1 footprint and my carry Romeo 1 was pretty beat up. I called Sig and was told by Customer Service that the Romeo X Pro was the latest and greatest, plus it co-witnessed with standard iron sights. So based on the recommendation I bought it. It never dawned on me to think that the optic window would be smaller. I never even considered researching it first. At 70 years old I for God Sake should know better.

precisely ...and its not even magnified .

You are welcome.

I am sorry, but I have $525.00 invested in this helmet, I won't be doing any ballistic test on it. I am not a monetized channel nor do I have sponsors. I am just an old retiree who likes to make videos.

@@armeddiver understandable

Thank you. Trijicon is the industrial standard for pistols. I am doing a Glock 34 build and looked really hard at the Trijicon SRO. I did some research and went with the Vortex Defender XL instead. The big reason(s) for going with the Defender XL are; Large window, durability, warranty, price and the fact that Vortex includes the required MOS plate. Before you go with a Trijicon, do a little research and see if there isn’t something that will do the same thing, but with a better price and warranty.

You are welcome.

@@coleverret2269 I won’t argue with you on that point. FYI, while I still think it is too small for a full size gun, I am using it because I really like the circle dot reticle and it is super durable.

@@armeddiver it’s still the best dot sigs yet made I’ll give it that. But I still sold my XC to get another eps carry. And I think it’s perfect size tbh I wish the rmr would come out with a housing it’s size, that direct mounts to something for once lol

@@coleverret2269 Because I didn't do enough research before buying RomeX, I did a lot of research before I bought my most recent optic for my G34 build. I bought a Vortex Defender XL and it is awesome. Vortex even included the MOS plate that is needed to mount to a Glock.

@@peterstadig363 thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

I went with what I knew. The electronic leveling in the VH6 HD sounds interesting. I had not heard about it before your post. If I can actually get to really shoot this gun I am looking at the MDT electronic level.

@@jonathaninocentes3235 I did buy the Romeo X Pro, that is what is in the video. The only, and I mean only difference between the regular Romeo X and the Pro is the footprint on the Pro is longer to fit the Delta Point Pro footprint, otherwise it is completely identical to the Romeo X for the P365. I bought it because it was recommended to me by a Sig Customer Service Rep.

@@chrisz2342 Less than a week.

@@armeddiver thank you

@@armeddiver did you receive updates to your email about shipping or it just showed up?

@@chrisz2342 The sent me an order confirmation and when they shipped it I got the tracking number, which was USPS.

@@armeddiver okay and was that long after you placed the order? sorry i just ordered mine this morning so wanting to know the process

@@ozzdunn9034 Thank you for your input, but I won’t be taking anything down. I agree I should have done more research, but I believe my complaints have [merit].

I agree that the Romeo X was designed for carry guns, but when you tack on "Pro" and say it is a "durable" optic the military would like, you start to think an optic for a full size M11.

I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner. I was traveling in Eastern Europe, then I took WPS Rifle 1, 2 and 3, and the end of this week I am taking a course with Tactical Hyve over in Pittsburgh, so I won't be able to make it until late next week.

@@armeddiver No worries, that is awesome within itself! Enjoy man! Appreciate you getting back with me and possibly making a video on it! 👍

Per your request, here is the link for the new video. I hope you video; th-cam.com/video/Mvgykxgay9I/w-d-xo.html. I hope it has the information you are looking for.

Thank you for the kind words.

@@Borat808 I hadn’t thought of that before, but have to agree.

@@stratocasterxyz Appreciate the advise, but I am just going to keep it. I am 70 and it is a just in case and something to hang ear protection and Go Pro or NVs off of.

@@jamesbowman7963 That’s a pretty good analogy. I think a better one is I bought an SUV on Carvana thinking I was going to get a Suburban XL and when it was delivered it was a Honda HR-V. It’s my own fault. I didn’t do my due diligence in research before I bought it, thus, the reason I made the video. Some extra info for those considering it.

@@armeddiver Fair enough hope you get what you actually need.

He's just an old "get off my lawn" type guy who has to complain about something.

My disappointment was total petty B.S. on my part. I changed out the muzzle brake. As for the trigger I have learned to use it. The gun is capable of 1/2 to 3/4 MOA with me behind it and Hornady Factory Ammo. With someone that knows how to shoot and tuned handloads, I am pretty sure it is capable of 1/4 to 1/2 MOA.

@@Killswitch1411 Thank you. I am 70 and really don’t think I will ever need a helmet so I am going to try and make this one work.

@@armeddiver Kind of figured lol. The Army is issued Armor Source look into those as well much cheaper. They can actually stop something lol

@@Killswitch1411 Thank you

Is your slide cut for the Leopold Delta Point Pro? If the answer is yes, then the Romeo X Pro will fit your slide. Check your manual it should say what its optics footprint is.
