NEWINGTON, N.H., \u2013 SIG SAUER, Inc. is honored to announce the ROMEO-M17 (RM17) red dot sight has been assigned a NATO Stock Number (NSN).\u00a0\u00a0This distinguished designation is part of the continued modernization efforts of the Modular Handgun System (MHS) Program.\u00a0\u00a0For inclusion on the MHS Additional Authorized List (AAL), the U.S. Army evaluated numerous pistol red dot sights, from multiple manufacturers, through vigorous environmental and performance evaluations and the RM17 and R2 achieved successful selection.\u00a0\u00a0In fact, the RM17 stood above the rest as the best performing and most durable sight evaluated.\u00a0\u00a0The issuance of the NSN to these products streamlines the procurement process for all NATO members and partner countries as an identified standardized material.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The ROMEO-M17 (NSN: 1240-01-713-9795) was developed from the ground up for the U.S. Army\u2019s Modular Handgun System and is the ultimate aiming solution.\u00a0\u00a0The RM17 will withstand the rigors of the battlefield, featuring the proprietary SIG-LOC\u2122 mounting system with bottom-mount technology and 5 interface points with the pistol slide, for an extremely strong and robust lock-up.\u00a0\u00a0Combined with the side-mounted battery the sight has an extremely low position when mounted to the slide, offering a full sight picture and co-witness with the existing standard-height iron sights.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe assignment of an NSN number is an exciting achievement for SIG SAUER Electro-Optics and the ROMEO product line.\u00a0\u00a0With the global demand for these products the NSN assignment will allow for ease in the procurement process, the ability to increase our reach within the NATO countries, and faster deployment\u201d said Andy York, President, SIG SAUER Electro-Optics.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThis assignment is also significant to non-NATO customers and civilians as the NSN designation does not come easily and signifies that the ROMEO-M17 has achieved a testing and use acceptance by the world\u2019s most discerning military customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SIG SAUER Electro-Optics ROMEO-M17<\/a> is a mil-spec, fully enclosed and gas-purged red dot reflex sight with a distortion-free glass aspheric lens and is submersible to depths up to 35 meters.\u00a0\u00a0Other features include a new and very robust flexure-arm adjustment system made of the same Beryllium Copper found in many riflescope designs, and a housing that is forged and machined from 7075 Aluminum with an integrated loaded chamber indicator (LCI) gas deflector and machined anti-reflection grooves on all rear facing surfaces for reduced glare.\u00a0\u00a0The optic incorporates a high-efficiency point source red LED emitter, with 2 MOA dot\/32 MOA circle reticle, independent brightness adjustment buttons, 15 brightness settings including night vision settings, and a side-mounted CR2032 battery compartment with a threaded battery cap so the optic does not need to be removed from the pistol for battery changes.\u00a0\u00a0The ROMEO-M17 has a minimum continuous runtime of 50,000 hours at medium brightness setting, and utilizes MOTAC\u2122 (Motion Activated Illumination), MAGNETAC\u2122 (Magnetic Activation), and D.A.R.C\u2122 (Dark Adaptive Reticles & Coatings) technologies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
