This looks far better than the original Romeo Zero. I only had mine mounted for like a month because the plastic lens scratched so easily it was crazy. Replaced it with a Holosun 507k and haven’t looked back. About time they finally have a glass lens.
It’s a pretty good optic. I took the shroud off and have not had any problems with durability. I ended up buying another one for a friend and no problems. No loss of zero thru 600 rounds. It works, it doesn’t have some fancier features, but once you learn how to work it, it does the job it’s intended to do. A great low-mid price optic imo. Holosun still gets my money for certain set ups I have tho.
Love sig they just need to upgrade their qc... I seen 320 specter with hood wear brand new out the box. Not something that should really happen on a tin barrel.. My shadow is pushing 400 I know not much but their ticn finish has litterly not 1 mark in it anywhere
I don't get the protective shroud on optics when people say it will bang into stuff..every shot taken slams that optic back and fourth and it keeps its zero. Leave the shroud off IMO...good vid though dude
Thanks, at first I was hesitant to crack the polymer housing on some tables I work around at work, so I tried the shroud out for a few months. Eventually got to where I took it off to test durability and it has taken a few bumps to the side of the housing on some table corners here and there, no cracks and stayed zeroed no problems. You're right, way better shroud off. Cheers man.
You think they’d make the battery accessible without removing the sight. Glad I watched some reviews before I bought the Romeo Zero. I opted for the Holosun 407k instead.
I wish they would get on board with the easy battery removal as well, but you made a great choice with the holosun. The $300 is well worth some of the better features of the holosun vs $200 the zero elite. If budget allows, I'd always go with holosun, but the elite isn't a bad choice for a $200 optic minus some of the cooler features and durability offered by others without having to put on the protective shroud. Holosun 4 life, but the elite will get the job done, depends on the choice of gun and budget.
Can you do a follow up review on the RomeoZero Elite? I'm looking at getting an optic, but I really don't want something made in China, so I'm hoping it's comparable or better than the Holosun 507k.
I am working on a follow up video coming out soon, but I can tell you that if you have the budget for it, invest in a 507k. For the features and durability, holosuns far surpass the zero elite in my opinion for an extra hundred bucks. Now the zero elite is a good $200 optic on par with some crimson trace and vortex offerings. It is a decent optic, but a holosun it is not. I do wish Holosuns were made here and not overseas, but the quality has been spot on so far.
My Romeo zero elite seems very blurry when it first turns on until it warms up.. is that how yours is? Also mine seems a lot more shaky than yours. Is yours the 32MOA circle with 2MOA dot?
Informative; however, it could be improved by showing some detailed steps of installation parts in video camera view vs out of view for us the viewers.
This one has been my go to for most projects lately. It has a good variety of sizes for each type of bit. Really helps to have the right tool for the screw at hand to help keep from damaging fine finishes. I also use a heavier craftsman set for higher torque applications. www.amazon.com/Kaisi-Precision-Screwdriver-Professional-Electronics/dp/B07ZB7FMLB/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=161KMI8PSTXXU&keywords=kaisi+126+in+1+precision+screwdriver+set&qid=1657840294&sprefix=kaisi+%2Caps%2C285&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExU00wMVZCSldVRjVSJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzE1NTk3WlNYUUo0N0pTTEtQJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA3NjQxMDgxMjEzUUYyR1VBUkExJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
I wanna try the elite for my sig x carry. Been doing reviews on Holosun, now I thinking 497k/507k. Same footprint. ( shields/rmsc). Holosun is a bit more, which is fine. I really do t like spending another 60/80 bucks on a filler plate. Sheesh!
My 0 came with shroud.. But it had the poly glass.. I immediately sent it back it was junk.. N wat too small. Holosun for life... Too poor for trijicon lol
So far, I'm not hating the 0 elite for what it is but I do have some Holosun optics on my glocks that I like more for sure. I wanted to try the smaller footprint and see how it works on the xl, a few more range trips to see how well it holds up in the near future.
Way too small for reg sized glocks.. For a single stack sure.. For anyone looking at one.. If u have a double stack glock pass on the 0 go with the 1 or 1 pro... Or even better a holosun 507c
At first I was lightly tapping with nothing happening with the shroud on, then I tapped it harder with purpose and found it to work just fine. It might work with light taps with the shroud off, but I have not removed the shroud yet, still deciding which I like more...shroud on or off.
Can you toggle to just a red dot without the circle or does have to be circle with red dot? And if you can toggle to just red dot, is it a 3 MOA? Hard to find this info anywhere
If you toggle the circle dot, it combines the 2 MOA dot with a 32 MOA circle. You can toggle the red dot only option and it uses a 3 MOA dot when using the dot only.
That's weird. Mine came off no fuss at all. Maybe some light taps with a rubber ended mallet...if not, sig customer service is excellent with these types of issues.
@@g-cast2106 I’ve been going crazy trying to figure it out and your the only video that’s out there that shows the sight plate removal and I had to reply or video like 4 times. Going to two ply some heat on it and smack it a couple of times. Thanks.
Yeah, I was testing it out for a bit. I’ve since taken the shroud off and have had no issues. It’s good for what it is, as soon as I’m done with the battery life test I’ll probably swap it with another optic I have.
It was close, but it also depends on what type and weight of bullet you are shooting, this can affect the point of impact on any gun. I'm running 124 gn NATO 9mm for range ammo and +p for defense so I had to adjust a bit.
The zero elite without the shroud on is about the same size as 507k. I think I would go with a holosun for a few features lacking in this zero elite, like battery life/change out ease, plus overall, holosun for me has been durable from the start. I don't really like the shroud needed on the zero to increase its durability. With the shroud on makes it 1.2 inches wide with noticeable overhang on the slide sides (roughly the same size as the bigger 507c x2).
Why not disassemble the gun? None on TH-cam has done this yet. I know that a standard XL slide with comp cuts and a shortened barrel would be exactly the same.

They have definitely stepped up the Romeo zero a notch, but they are still way behind Holosun in the features they offer for their optics.
If you plan on keeping the shroud on, the optic will block your front sight. Recommend the XS F8 Sig sights. That solves the issue.
Thanks, I'll check them out.
I just ordered the Romeo Zero Elite for my P365XL. From this video, it looks like I made a good decision. Thanks for the review!
It's a good optic that does what it needs to. Hope it serves you well. Cheers.
the glow paint on that elite should be standard on all red dots. awesome idea
im watching this video and I noticed you have the same exact computer screwdriver kit as mine lmao
What's your opinion on the Elite now? Holosuns are so expensive! The Spectre Comp is beautiful with the gold accents.
It’s a pretty good optic. I took the shroud off and have not had any problems with durability. I ended up buying another one for a friend and no problems. No loss of zero thru 600 rounds.

Those "corners" are perforated on the sealer film to be torn off per instructions

Yea, holosun is a better optic for the extra cash, but the elite has been good to me, no problems here.
Don't bother buying if you have plans on mounting this on a Smith and Wesson Shield Plus. They don't include the screw for the Smith.
I CANNOT get my optic plate off of my 365. Does anyone know what size hex I need?
10 inch pound of torque you meant.
My 0 came with shroud.. But it had the poly glass.. I immediately sent it back it was junk.. N wat too small. Holosun for life... Too poor for trijicon lol

That’s kinda the point… it’s rmsc.
Sounds like you're getting ready to inhale your microphone
I wish Sig would offer green
I wish, I prefer green dots over red dots personally. I feel like I can acquire target faster with green than red in bright lighting situations.
Eh idk for that price..lol looks cool but id rather just buy that slide the rest is the same
True
DId you have any issue getting yours to do the "TAP" thing? I had to mess with it so many times before I got the TAP thing to work.
At first I was lightly tapping with nothing happening with the shroud on, then I tapped it harder with purpose and found it to work just fine. It might work with light taps with the shroud off, but I have not removed the shroud yet, still deciding which I like more...shroud on or off.

@@g-cast2106 Thank you for the info, I appreciate it. Sig website wasn't clear about this.
What the..my plate didn’t come right off…I can’t seem to take it off feels like it’s really glued on the slide
That's weird. Mine came off no fuss at all. Maybe some light taps with a rubber ended mallet...if not, sig customer service is excellent with these types of issues.

I don't see a good reason to use the Zero if you're going to use the shroud. Just use a better optic if you're ok with a bigger size RDS.
Yeah, I was testing it out for a bit. I’ve since taken the shroud off and have had no issues. It’s good for what it is, as soon as I’m done with the battery life test I’ll probably swap it with another optic I have.
Was it fairly accurate straight from install?
It was close, but it also depends on what type and weight of bullet you are shooting, this can affect the point of impact on any gun. I'm running 124 gn NATO 9mm for range ammo and +p for defense so I had to adjust a bit.
how does it compare to the 407/507K in reference to size?
The zero elite without the shroud on is about the same size as 507k.

What torque wrench is that
I use the wheeler fat torque wrench. Hasn’t disappointed me yet.
Thats the cheapest packing I have ever seen for an optic. At least Holosun has a box with foam protection.
Where can I find the best deal of Sig p365xl ?
Best place online I’ve shopped is budsgunshop.com . They have fast shipping and best prices I’ve seen online.
gun.deals is what you're looking for.
Which gun is holoson on?
I’ve got holosuns on Glock 19 mos, Glock 23 mos and xds 45. Awesome optics.
Why not disassemble the gun? None on TH-cam has done this yet. I know that a standard XL slide with comp cuts and a shortened barrel would be exactly the same.
Good idea, I'll work on one and post it soon. Thanks for the feedback.
Inch-pounds, not pounds, inch-pounds.
Forgot to loctight lol jk brother
Try to save your money and got a Holosun.
