- Walk through of removing the SIG Sauer P320 sight adapter plate and installing of the Romeo1 reflex sight. Also see whether you can co witness with the X5 and other surprises inside the X5 slide.
Thanks for the great video. This is the second time I’ve used it to help me install a Romeo 1 on a Sig. Very good instructions. Thanks again
Thank you for showing this being done. I was putting my Romeo 1 on and had the wrong screws. I called SIG talked to a guy named BO, and he is sending them free of charge. The gun is awesome, and the costumer service is great.
Thank you just brought a legion waiting for it to come in to put a red dot on it thanks for the video
Just got my X5 Legion and both of the supplied mounting screws that came with the R1 stripped during install. Weird.
I contacted Sig via email and received a response within 2 days that the R1 is not made for the Legion. And I have to wait for the R1 Pro, which isnt even available on the market yet. WTHeck. Ordered some new screws online that are a little longer and will try those.
I just can't believe that the R1 is not compatible with the x5 legion.
oooWADEooo Im suprised too. I think its really made for the Romeo 1 Pro, Romeo 2 and DPP
Thanks for the video. Really helped a lot. Got mine on and torqued and learned a few things as well
Hey I was wondering, if you can make a tutorial on may be polishing the X5 trigger components or doing a trigger job to make it lighter? Thanks a lot. Your Romeo install video was very helpful in my install. Thank you so much. 2 thumbs up.
I just would like to thank you, and say I never removed the extractor, I did all the work with extractor barrel and guide rod and spring still assembled just depressed the pin slid the back cover off, pulled out the firing pin and the detent rod, put the Romeo back on. All done in slide locked position. The other thing I will say is make sure the Romeo 1 is on and your looking through it and it’s centered above your iron sights, it’s very easily possible to have the red dot be off center because the base is off center by a mm.
might need to get a Romeo for my x5!
i would like to add that finding 6-48 screws with the allen key hesd the same size as the factory Romeo screws is nearly impossible.
Great video and very helpful for all us with the Romeo 1 cheers.
Great video, I learned how to do it on my Sig X5 now. Thanks
Thanks for the video Alma, good info, especially the strike input.
If putting on a Delta Point on a M17 make sure you don't forget the loaded chamber indicator, and the fricken small spring for it.
looking for a video on this, I swear i saw one a few months ago, but now that i have the M17 DPP, back sights, i cant find the video..anyone know where good directions are to installing a DPP on an M17?
I had to replace ours a month after getting it... not sure what was happening there, I think the battery cover was loose so it was shorting out some how I guess. Since replacement and tightening it down (which is hard to do considering the slot shape) haven't had an issue in a year of use.
Thanks Alma - Instructive as always.
Appreciate the install video Alma. I need to get me one of those fancy torque wrenches. Can you tell me if the install process would be any different on the M18?
Great video and tutorial, found it really helpful with a brand new X5, especially for me being completely unfamiliar with Sig products as this is a one off deviation from my typical CZ purchases. One question, does the notch in the extractor pin not face towards the inside of the gun so that it mates up with the extractor? You mentioned in the video that it goes to the outside but that seemed a bit off when I tried to match up the parts when the gun was apart. Thanks.
What was the size of the Allen head to remove the screw?
I'm sure you found out by now but I'll post for others. It's a 3/32.
Nice video
I also had the same issue with the kit not having the mounting screws in it. The SOR 11001 is a rifle kit.
The screws you need are a 6-48 thread and mine needed 8.8 - 9 mm of thread.
This is a silly mistake on SIG's part in my opinion. The kit should ship with all the required crews to mount to a P320.
Hey, but it only took me a week to find some others........!!! Wasting my time SIG! I am not in the US of Americaland and so what the hell do we do when we need parts? I am also interested as to where the 25 inch pound torque setting comes from please, it's not in the manual?
Hotdogger808 I am in Europe and have the same problem. Where did you find the screws? I found a set on Brownells but reviews are terrible...
You seem to be extremely knowledgeable, and very informative, I’m actually wondering if there is a way to possibly mount the Romeo 1 to a sig m18, without an adapter plate and if you had any information about how to do so.
You would need a Romeo1Pro. That will bolt right on.
Thank you for the instructive video. Can you tell us the Allen wrench size needed to remove the two sight-plate screws?
Let me answer my own question! 😉. It is 3/32 inch.
Thanks man I’ve been looking online for hours and nothing mentions it anywhere. Lifesaver
I’ve been searching for this for a few days thank you
Thank you for the video! Looks fantastic! Waiting and searching for the
X-5 in California.
that aint happening
hahaha indeed, but someone might get rid of theirs via PPT.
Lawrence Shin yeeeeah... saw a dude selling his for the fair Californian price of about $2500...
dear Lord... highway robbery :(
Great video, helped me a lot, after getting the optic installed i shot my first box... every few rounds a case hits the Romeo 1, any ideas how to fix this problem... shells ejected fine before optic was installed... thanks
Mike Hipp no clue on that. I have seen it reported a few times but it hadn't happened with my guns. You could try adjust the recoil spring weight to see if that was a does anything. Otherwise you would have to tune the extractor and ejector. Not sure how you would even start to do that.
I really enjoy your videos and use them for learning as much as possible about the P320. I know this isn’t the correct place to ask this question but I’m thinking if anyone knows it’s you. I’m want to purchase a few of the new “32 rd PMags” for my X5 full size. I’ve read more negative stuff than positive but am hoping with a lot of use the problems that are mentioned in this magazine will get better. Do you have any experience with this magazine and if so what has your experience been like? Thanks and I do appreciate your thoughts.
Great video. I love my new X Five . I have a Romeo 1 ordered and hopefully using it in a few days. I hope maybe you could help me with a question. The two little allen head screws you installed to secure the Romeo .... on my X Five they have been drilled and tapped to a 4mm thread size as I had a Deltapoint pro on it. They are just a bit bigger in diameter as the original size screws for the Romeo. Do you see any problems I might encounter. Nothing done to my X Five slide other than those two holes drilled and tapped one size bigger. My thoughts with installing the Romeo are as long as the new 4mm diameter screws fit the holes in the Romeo then all is ok? Your thoughts please if any?
I don't have direct experience doing that, but in theory if it fits you should be okay. When I first got an RX I actually had some non standard screws and had to use tiny washers on the R1. Wasn't ideal, but worked perfectly.
Alma Cole I hoping for the best. My concern is the screw head shoulder may not have room to seat properly. I only have pictures to see the seating area of screws so I don’t know yet if that’s an issue. I’m thinking if it’s not enough area for new screw seat maybe I could that an allen head screw and take some material off of outside diameter of new head until it fits. Wish me luck. Once again great video and thanks for your thoughts.
To update my problem/fix . I took the small 4mm allen head screw and chucked it up in my drill and basically placed a fine flat file on head of screw as it spun therefore turning the diameter of the head down slowly till it fit in the small space perfectly. Thanks again.
great video, I am new to handguns. I have the sig p320c and i bought the romeo 1 after the fact, I was told i need mounting plates to install, but according to your video I don't? should i leave to a professional or is it simple enough to install myself? thanks for the help
Was this with a Romeo1 or a Romeo1 Pro there is a big difference.
Thank You Alma for sharing. I recently bought the X5 and a Romeo one. I was getting ready to install the optic but I am having a hard time getting the extractor spring out of the housing. It presses in allowing me to remove the cover and firing pin but spring remains tight in place. Do you have any advice? Thank you
please share more info on the trigger parts install on the x5. debating ordering for my x5 also. thanks and great videos
Zac Holcomb I have all video going over it and dropping in a full kit from Grayguns. If will try to edit it and get it to up in the next week. The trigger components on the X5 are all the same as the standard P320 except for the trigger itself.
Alma Cole good to know. I currently have the grey guns trigger bar spring in mine and it feels like the pull is reduced but I haven't tested it on a scale. my other p320 trigger is a gen 1 fcu with the grey guns PELT and it pulls under 3.5 lbs. curious to hear where you're upgraded fcu is at on pull weight.
You have everyone asking what size allen bit you are using to install the Romeo 1 Sight. Please respond. Thanks for the video.
treefuzz1 looking like 3/32
Yes, to answer my own question, it is 3/32 inch.
1/8" Allen bit installs the Romeo 1 to the bare slide on the X5
Great video. I have a question that you might be able to answer. How would I go about swapping out the Dawson precision sights for some night sights of some type. Love the gun an I shoot it well and have gotten permission to carry it as a duty weapon. My only hold up is I would want night sites and I haven't figured out how to change out the sights, and who may make replacements. Thought about seeing if I could purchase a rear sight plate from a x-carry with the night sights and mount it up. Then swap out the front for a sig x-ray sight. What do you think...
Morgan Tucker assuming the X5 your only option would be to get the X-Carry sight plate or find someone who has an X-Carry and wants to swap. Dawson Precision makes the adjustable rear so you could also contact Dawson and they might be able to make you a night sight rear that could fit in the existing X5 adjustable housing.
Alma Cole thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if the x-5 and the carry shared the same sight plate. But that was also my thinking. Thanks agian.
I wonder what size the Allen hex key size is for the original bolts you ae taking off around 5:30 in the vid from under the slide to loosen the rear sight? the Original from the factory don't use the same 1/8th size the replacement bolts are from the Romeo01 kit that go in from the top of the slide
listening with headphones. @8:42 kids scared the shit out of me. thought someone was in my house. lol wtf.
Thanks for the video. That was super helpful to me. 👍
What size screws did you use?
So you don’t need to reinstall the screws under the slide when you put an optic on the pistol?
Would a vortex venom fit without an adapter plate by any chance?
what is the size of the allen key to remove re rear sight plate ????
It’s good and is accurate is perfect
What size Allen wrench did you use to take out the rear sight assembly screws?
geese how many xfives did you buy? any malfunctions I'm gonna buy one today off gunbroker.
I thought Romeo one is not gonna fit pro is the one fits???
What size allen wrench did you need to remove the rear sight? I just realized that none of mine are the right size.
Can I use the same hex key to remove the factory rear sights and then install the Romeo 1? Or are they different sizes?
Is it just a wrap like the talon grips or is it a media type you apply with epoxy?
So i did something wrong and not sure what. When i go to rack the slide after putting the romeo on the slide catches with about 1/8 inch left to close it completely. If i push it with my hand it closes enough to dry fire. Where did i screw up?
What size Allen wrench is used to take the rear sight plate screws out?
Always informative!
What sizeAllen wrench to take sight plate off ? Is not the same as the one for the romeo 1
What’s the best model Romeo 1? I’m gonna buy one very soon and I think I’m going 3 moa
Does the Springer precision comp fit on the x5 with a Barstow barrel ?
Great video! I've got a question you may be able to answer. I have an X-Five and I wanted to get a Romeo 1 for it. I noticed that they just came out with a Romeo 1 without a mount, which is significantly cheaper than the one with the mount. I want to make sure I get the right one. I'm guessing that because of the slide cuts on the X-Five, that I shouldn't need the version with the mount?
Yes, that's the one you want to buy.
hi can you tell me what is the space between 2 screws mount in mm btw great video
14mm
Alma Cole thanks I bought a Nikon Spur and it looks almost identical to romeo 1 but for 180$ and has 14 mm too so I will try it next week on my X5
Alma Cole just installed the Nikon Spur (189$) I had to file the front of the Nikon to fit and cut a bit of the screw bc it was interfering with the extractor spring rod
Is it really necessary to remove the backplate and firing mechanics? I thought all that was needed was to remove the 2 screws, remove original rear sights, slide Romeo 1 into place, then screw it on.
I will be receiving a Romeo 1 in a few days and just want to double check if disassembling the slide completely is necessary for a Romeo 1 installation.
Thanks!
Eric Pena the extractor rod and spring block one of the two screws.
Alma Cole Thank you for the instant reply! Have a great 4th of July!
Can you tell me how was zero / POI with Romeo1 and front sight alignment?
great video - thanks for sharing...
Alma, which model of romeo 1 do I buy? I suppose I'm asking with which mount? Or do they come off? I can find very little info on the optic. If it doesn't matter I'm planning on buying a Romeo 1 with 1913 rail mount (it's the cheapest at 299.00). Thanks
Mark Evan Lancaster that should be the one you want if you look at planet optics it's the one that has the closest expected in stock date. Any of them should work since no mount is needed.
Ok that's what I thought. I figured I'd ask a stupid question and not look stupid and 299 to 399 poorer! Thank you
Great video.. I have a threaded barrel for a non-LCI slide X5 for sale.. Brand new. Do you have interest?
What screws are you using to mount it? The ones I have seem to be too long and I can’t get the extractor back in because it’s blocking the spring
After getting off the phone with sig, I’m told that the model I bought doesn’t come with screws that are compatible with the P320 x5 which is absolute horse shit! They should come with screws for the guns they mount directly to instead of multiple risers and keymod accessories. This is a total swing and miss on sigs part, but thankfully in my experience they have excellent customer service and shipped screws out to me immediately.
If your Romeo 1 comes with screws with red thread locker on them they will not work on your x5
Very nice.. thank you!
Hi, I have a x5 and I would like to install a Romeo1, but on the Sig web page there are 4 models. 1 with a 6MOA and 3 with 3MOA, I want a 3MOA, which one is the correct one for an x5? I read that if you don't get the correct one somehow there will be some problems with the screws
Thanks
Robert Nunlist Make sure you get the R1 Pro
Will a trijicon rmr fit the x5? I don't want the Romeo 1 but am interested in the x5
1234ilikethumbwar trijicon screw pattern is wider, 😕
damn 😔

Hi Alma. Just received a Romeo 1 red dot for my P320 x5. When I went to install it none of the screws in the box were the right size to install on the x5. It came with a M1913 mount already installed on the optic. When I removed the mount to install on the x5, the 2 screws holding the mount in place were way too long to mount the optic to the slide. The screws you used to install the sight to the slide do not come in the package. The model is Romeo 1 SOR11001. Any ideas where I can find the correct size screws? Just spent $399 on an optic that I cannot use on my P320 x5.
Assem Ahmed SIG is working on making those screws available first order. In the meantime third kit from Amazon should have some screws that will work www.amazon.com/dp/B00HTN51VY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_f05xzbJN5C4E2
Assem Ahmed same issue here. How were you able to get a hold of the screws?
Wingfan13 see my link above to the Wheeler set on Amazon. Otherwise you might be able to contact SIG directly.
The torx sizes would have been nice.
I used a T10, first one I grabbed and it was perfect
Alma, I just installed the Romeo1 on my X-Carry and wanted to put a Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight on it to co witness. Do you know what size height I should use?
Not off hand, but if you reach out to Dawson then they should know. The 245 tall one that's on the X5 is close but I haven't put it specifically on paper
Alma Cole thank you for getting back to me. I just talked to Dawson and they said the one on the X5 was .215 which I thought was a little short. I think it is a 245 like you said. They did not have a sight measured for the X-Carry or a P320 carry. They did say the sight they use for the M17 paired with a Delta Point Pro (which is .085 taller than a Romeo1) was a .400. This gives you a slightly shorter sight radius than the X5. I’m still unsure.
@@BigMurph45 mines absolutely taller, but I have an earlier model X5. Go with whatever Dawson says
Will the install be the same on P320 Tacops?
You would need the adapter plate for the standard rear sight dovetail
Is that silicone carbide you put on the grip?
Yes
Hi where did you get the Talon grip for the X5?
It's actially a permanent glue and grit job that I do to these grips. Springer Precision does has some precut grip tape that should work well.
is it reasonable to install and remove and re-install and maintain zero?
I switch mine between 3 guns and only need to adjust when i transfer to the one without suppressor height sights. Between the other 2 tho . I don't need to adjust at all .Seems to hold great.
Hi Alma. Sig p320 xcarry. Disassembled gun and next day when reassembling slide to frame forgot to install the takedown lever. As a result the trigger assembly is stuck to the slide with barrel and guide rod. Anyway i can rectify this? or do i have to take it to a gunsmith?
Assem Ahmed assuming you know the gun is empty, try pointing in a safe direction and pull the trigger. That should release the striker. Otherwise you will need to remove the rear striker plate to remove the striker.
Alma Cole did that but the whole trigger assembly is still stuck to the slide. Barrel and guide rod holding it in place.
Assem Ahmed you can try grabbing setting into a vise up side down and grabbing the end of the guide rod with pliers. Pulling on that can relieve the tension and then try again to release the striker by pulling that trigger or try to get that striker plate off. Good luck!
Hey Alma, how can u tell the generations of the romeo1s optics planet has one now on sale for 189$.
I can't say for sure, but everything being sold now should be a Gen 2 with the extended hood and upgraded firmware
@@AlmaCole okay cool, what kinda guide rod do you use? Or what would you recommend for p320 fullsize? Thanks again.
Springer Precision tungsten guide rods with 13 or 14lb springs. Grayguns makes a guide rods as a well
what grips are those?
Any word if Sig will allow other sights to be installed on the X5 besides the Romeo?
rayc76knoxville Springer Precision has adapter plates available for sale now for most popular red dots to work with the X5
Thank you for the quick reply. That's really good news. I shall check them out. Yipee, cowboy!
Thank you, cannot understand why Sig doesn't offer them.
Thanks!
Do you prefer the original grip?
TryHardGamers without modification I think I prefer the X grip. The large older style grips are very comfortable for me once I have the thumb grooves filled in but the magwell on the X grip is really excellent.
Alma Cole is the magwell legal for production?
How was the cowitness?
Jason Lee he shows it about 9min in
Okay I have a standard P320. Can I mount the Romeo 1 on it?
Colby Sickest Stance yes, just get the pistol plate adapter kit. You should be able to buy it as a package or seperatly.
Alma Cole where Can I order it? Sigs site or an aftermarket sight?
what size hex wrench removes stock sight screws?
3/32
Just to let everyone know you have to have the Romeo 1 PRO for the new Xfive, the normal romeo 1 will NOT fit.
You mean for the Legion ? I have a X Five and manufacturer's catalogue says it's compatible with ROMEO1, like the RX.
That's what I was questioning. Because I seen multiple video saying the romeo1 will not fit the X5. So this is a pretty shitty video and I wonder how many people are going to fuck up the threads on their Legion trying to get the Romeo one to fit
People get confused, there are two types of x5 now the older model with the non skeletonized trigger will fit the older romeo 1, the x5 legion (newer model) will not accept a romeo 1, only the romeo one pro and delta point pro. (optic mounts are made for many others) The optic mounting was changed to the military m17 mount. Trust me I contacted customer service about why my sig optic wont fit my sig pistol. They sent me a link to the 400$ romeo one pro. Super helpful.... Only time I've ever had an issue with Sig. I hope more people see this comment and don't make this mistake. Make SURE you know what model you have the forums are full of people hacking screws and slides trying to get this to work. Also this is a huge money maker for Sig, change optic mounting systems, make people buy the sig romeo one pro. Hope this is helpful.
Thanks for info!
I ordered my x5 6 weeks ago, I was told there was some sort of recall but it has been recently corrected so it shouldn't be much longer, anyone know anything about this?
Ben Reid you should register with SIG and they will have you send your gun in for upgrades. It should be improve the trigger and improve drop safety ratings
Xfive does not nee the upgrade if I remember it correctly.
S. Huang it's less susceptible to the drop safe issues but the upgrade makes it better and modifies the Disconnector method to remove potential timing issues.
Nice!
Just got my x5 today the rear sight is loose, I want to tighten it but the screw is not turning and I'm afraid to mess it up. Help please
The plate itself is loose, or something else? The plate tightens from under the slide.
Thanks
Where can I get this torque wrench
George Franklin www.amazon.com/BTI-Wheeler-Engineering-Fat-Wrench/dp/B076GZSP1P
How do you apply it?
What?
Loctite Marine epoxy
Does anyone make a threaded barrel for this?
LordHades BarSto and silencerco I think
BarSto.com does 1/2 x 28 TPI overall length of 5.7" and this is for the BULL BARREL only on the x5. it goes for $320. Click on Sig Sauer and then select the 320x5 model.
AAAAHHHHH
Vid starts 1:45
You rush through stuff and terrible instructions. You didn't show how the battery and cap install. You did it so quick you can't tell how it goes in.
Gone through ever Allen wrenches in my arsenal of 50+ to remove plate. None seem to fit.
