Which makes it just as easy to unlock on accident. I’ve done it multiple times and have replaced my holosun optics as well. Sucks but it is what it is.
If he had only bothered to read the owner's manual of the EPS Carry! Pick your brightness setting then hold down the + button until the reticle blinks once. It's now in lockout mode so the brightness setting can't be changed and the reticle can't be turned off inadvertently! Yes the buttons are also audible. The EPS Carry is an enclosed emitter while the Sig Romeo X is not and the EPS Carry is about $50 cheaper. The EPS Carry also doesn't have a huge protrusion and unsightly battery door on the right hand side either. 😉
They are not horrible but not good enough. I have been carrying an open dot for 5 years with zero issues of the emitter being obstructed. So for me it’s the better option. Don’t get me wrong I’ll definitely find a new home for the eps, just not on a carry.
Looks damn good too imo. I personally won’t buy Chinese firearm accessories and the Romeo X looks sweet and is made in the US with US and Japanese parts. Excited to see how they go about making an enclosed Romeo X. I wonder if it will end up like the Romeo M17 (with a usable mount lol) or be more like the EPS with the rear lens farther forward and retain the DPP/RMSc footprint.
Have the EPS Carry on my 365 legion with dot locked, no plate, or larger rear sight and can co witness just fine. Also have a Leopold open emitter on my 229 legion (dot also locked). The difference is night an day when pull it after carrying it all day. The open emitter is always full of lent, dust, etc needing cleaned daily. The EPS is simply wiped off in a second. If optics weren't so expensive to replace the 229 would have an enclosed optic too.
A beautiful and impressive video. especially these days when I'm debating what to buy (romeo x or holosun). But the most beautiful thing in the video is the icarus precision grip. I live in Israel, they don't ship to my country and I heard that recently there is a polymer grip!!!
Hell yeah giz, just grabbed one from them thanks for hollering them out... everyone I get optics from at shot show probably drunk on a plane now..😂...right size screws come with it for the p365 right brother?
The buttons being the reason just means this guy never read the EPS carry manual that tells one how to lock the buttons out to leave the brightness at a chosen setting.
I also see your EPS Carry was rubbing on the slide. I had that issue with the Vortex Defender. According to Vortex, they have seen this on other P365/X/XL slides where the SIG factory milling isn't consistent at the front. So the curved "edges" either interfere with the optic (it won't seat flat) or like your EPS Carry, digs into the finish.
Having cut a bunch of slides for a ton of different optics...I can confidently say that vortex has more inconsistencies optic to optic than any other brand ive dealt with. I won't cut a pocket for a vortex unless I have it in my hand to measure. I'd bet good money a holsun, sig, or trijicon would bolt right onto your sig. I don't know if it's generation-to-generation differences, different lots, or just crummy qc...but vipers and venoms are all over the place. I did mount their new rmsc pattern optic (defender maybe?) on a cz I cut for my brother, and it fit like a glove exactly as it should. So maybe whoever they have doing the manufacturing for that optic in China can follow a print and do some actual qc...or we just got lucky this time.
One of the benefits of the Romeo X is you don’t need the suppressor height sights for backup. Standard height is fine. Are you putting the old ones back on? Seems the back sight blocks a decent amount of the glass.
I can see the top seam on the front glass window pane of my X Compact where it's glued to the housing. It's always visible and quite distracting, especially if the sunlight hits it right. Planning to contact Sig to see if it's normal or not. Anyone else?
Ehhh. I see it as a quality of life thing. I have enclosed and open. The open are annoying with all the crap that gets in there, and your view is always like 20% cruddy.
@@AIRBORNE916if ur seeing smudges on the glass ur using it incorrectly. Should be concentrating on the target not the glass. I carry my Holosun open emitter every day never have I cleaned the glass just blow a little air every couple weeks to knock the crap off it.

@@gunsbygiz9500 it’s says pick your brightness settings then let go. Next hold the + button for 3 seconds until LED blinks once. This should activate the lockout setting. To deactivate it repeat the same step until LED blinks once.
@@kellz8854 well honestly I probably did something wrong then… or I have a bad unit. I’ll follow up with holosun next week because I definitely like the optic.
Would you get the 365 with the comp or without ? Some people say the comp leaves the front of the gun dirty all the time. I’m going to get one of the 2 this weekend . Was going to get EPS carry I will check out the Sig x does it have shakeaway ? Heard you could lock the Holosun out to a setting so it doesn’t move tho. Thank you
Just no excuse for their lack of closed emitter pistol optic. Even this o e might as well be closed, with that profile. I will probably never buy another open optic.
@@agc7582 While I am personally interested in the Romeo 2, if I could figure out how to mount it to my SMG or PSD, it IS NOT true enclosed optic. It would be so easy for them to do...but they don't.
Most of yall on the open and closed train domt even focus on what the dots have going. The fact that most of yall dont probably need a closed emitter but say its not as good because its open, a big lmao.
You can lock the buttons on the side. Hold down the plus’s button for three seconds.
Thanks that was painful on the button issues

I didn’t have to use the plate with the EPS on my 365. Also you can lock the buttons on the EPS
Sorry dude, the buttons aren’t that bad and they’re not more important than having an enclosed emitter. EPS still the best way to go.
They are not horrible but not good enough. I have been carrying an open dot for 5 years with zero issues of the emitter being obstructed. So for me it’s the better option. Don’t get me wrong I’ll definitely find a new home for the eps, just not on a carry.
Set it, turn on the button lockout, forget it. I hear the lockout also often fixes problems some people have with the shake-awake.
Funny, not too long ago people were saying they’d never put one of those “mailbox”s on their nice looking pistol.
@@hookeaires6637 the EPS carry changed that by not being a the size of a mailbox. They made the first ergonomic closed emitter red dot.
You don’t need it. People make it seem like they’re going through battle with their edc. Stop it 🤣
I thought that eps Cary had a lockout feature to keep you from doing what you said…?
It does

I agree I can’t wait to see the future of sig optics

The eps carry can be mounted without the plate by requesting free / corrected height screws from holosun
So were you locking out the buttons on the EPS or not?

You do know you can lock the Botton on the holosun right ?

You don't need it on the eps carry or 507k either
@@tizbenI have both. It's not the same. You get a better cowitness with the romeo x.
I heard there is the Sig Romeo-X and the Romeo-X Compact, which is compatible with the X-Macro?
@@lxmercyxl9982 for the X Macro, you want the Compact version.

Having an enclosed emitter on a sidearm is not that important.

I'd prefer SIG, but the Holosun has a better profile. If only China wasn't the real issue, Holosun would be Top Gun!
But isn’t there a lock setting? Never heard of that happening before but whatever works for you man. That sig optic looks bad ass btw
I thought the same thing, I couldn’t find one or a way to do it… Doesn’t mean the it doesn’t have one but I’m loving the new Romeo x

AND, having the battery on the side lowers the deck height... allowing co-witness without needing butt ugly suppressor height sights.
You know you can lock in your setting with the eps so that doesn’t accidentally happen right?!
He bought a overpriced optic to solve a problem that was easy to solve
Does the sig have a lock out option? Which one would you bet your life or families on in the worst situation?
I heard there is the Sig Romeo-X and the Romeo-X Compact, which is compatible with the X-Macro?
Notice you have a LCI barrel. Does that affect the optics?
Do the Romeo X adjusters have a nice click to them?
great slide. from?
Do you have a video on the lower you have?
I accidently push the brightness down every time I rack the slide with the sig
What grip module is that? Looks pretty sweet.
Icarus Precision 🔥
Just no excuse for their lack of closed emitter pistol optic. Even this o e might as well be closed, with that profile. I will probably never buy another open optic.
Romeo 2, although for larger platforms. Enclosed, modular, built like a tank and $$$
@@agc7582 While I am personally interested in the Romeo 2, if I could figure out how to mount it to my SMG or PSD, it IS NOT true enclosed optic. It would be so easy for them to do...but they don't.
Sig takes it in the aesthetics portion
You could have just locked the settings on the eps
That Icarus grip is shore is purtty
Can I mount this on a p365 sig.
Yes
Thx
You can lock the dang eps carry! Haha!! Geez
Most of yall on the open and closed train domt even focus on what the dots have going. The fact that most of yall dont probably need a closed emitter but say its not as good because its open, a big lmao.
You can lock out the buttons lol. Read your instruction manual.
😂 eps way better
