7075 Aluminum
7075 Aluminum is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio.
What feature is integrated into the front of the housing?
Integrated gas deflector
This feature helps direct gas away from the user.
What is the purpose of the machined anti-reflection grooves?
For reduced glare
These grooves help enhance visibility by minimizing light reflection.
What does the extremely low deck height allow for?
A full sight picture and co-witness with standard-height sights
This feature is crucial for quick target acquisition.
What does SIG-LOC™ stand for?
SIG Leverage Optimizing Connection
This proprietary mounting interface enhances the lockup between the optic and pistol.
What type of emitter is used in the optical system?
A high-efficiency point source LED emitter
This type of emitter provides reliable illumination.
What types of reticles are available?

15 brightness settings
Three settings are optimized for use with Gen 3+ NV devices.
What feature allows for easy battery changes?
Side-mounted CR2032 battery compartment with a threaded battery cap
This design allows users to replace the battery without removing the optic.
What is the minimum continuous runtime at medium brightness?
50,000 hours
This extended runtime makes the optic suitable for long-term use.
What is the purpose of the drainage holes in the housing?
To allow pooled liquid to escape
This helps maintain functionality when the optic transitions between positions.
What is the adjustment resolution for windage and elevation?
1.5 MOA per click
Tactile clicks provide feedback during adjustments.
What does MOTAC stand for?
Motion Activated Illumination
This feature automatically activates the illumination when motion is detected.
What does MAGNETAC refer to?
Magnetic Activation
This functionality allows for easier control of the optic’s features.
What does D.A.R.C. stand for?
Dark Adaptive Reticles & Coatings

The optic will automatically turn off when the firearm is fully inserted into the holster
What is the purpose of the ROMEO-M17 turning off in the MAGNETAC™ holster?
To conserve battery life
What occurs when the firearm is drawn from the holster with the ROMEO-M17?
The ROMEO-M17 will immediately turn on to the last brightness setting used
What is the clear aperture diameter of the ROMEO-M17?
24mm
What is the torque value to tighten to?
40 in-lb
in-lb stands for inch-pounds, a unit of torque.
Fill in the blank: The Beryllium Copper Flexure Arm is known for its _______.
high strength and fatigue resistance
What is one benefit of using Beryllium Copper in flexure arms?
It provides a combination of flexibility and strength
