P226RX/P229R- New manufacture and Red Dot Durability.

September 16, 2018, 10:49 AM

Ok, just now getting back to report on Pro Shop prices.

A far cry from the $700 mark that some were claiming.

Folks, show me somewhere else you can buy a slide, mill it for a red dot sight, and buy the sight for that price. The $700 mark would just about touch that if you used your slide, had it milled, and found an RMR on sale somewhere.

And let's face it, if there were wholesale problems with the Romeo series, you wouldn't be able to find bandwidth to post about it on the internet. But, you hear little to nothing.....

How about P320 kits? Are they cheaper at the Pro Shop?

I know they are at least this price. They might have been in the $450 range, IIRC.

I've messed around with red dot sights on pistols for the last little bit, but I haven't found one that screamed my name. On an impulse buy, I picked up this Legion RX. I didn't have a lot of time yesterday but got to put a couple of hundred rounds through it and got in some dry fire last night.

It is like freaking cheating.

I'm trying to follow up on this price, but according to the website the price is $589.

Is that for in-store only purchase?

Give them a call. They are a great bunch of guys to work with.

jljones--

Thanks for getting me looking into more ways to spend my money

Can the slide accommodate any red dot sight, or are you limited to Sig proprietary ones? It does sound from your description that the Romeo1 is quite good though.
