Yes sirWhich Romeo? I assume the Romeo 5 for the price. I have several Romeo5s and love them.

I bought a Romeo for my 9mm AR and I liked it so much that I got one for my AR pistol. They are motion-activated on/off and made by Holosun, I am told. One was $119 and the other was $125 IIRC. Romeo 5
Pretty sure Sig Sauer makes them, and makes them well. I've thought about getting one, but figured I should get something to put it on first.
You'll have to look at the boxes. I know most of the Romeos say "Designed by SIG in Oregon. Assembled in China". I can take a picture of one later on today.I'm thinking they have manufacturing right here in Oregon. A quick google search for Sig Electro Optics has links to Glassdoor and Indeed with job description "Supervisor, Assembly Electro Optics"
Pretty sure they are contracted out to holosun. Might be designed state side but they ain't made stateside.fyi... not made by Holosun.

@DiamondbackHuh, found this out as well. https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?221198-Did-you-know-Holosun-is-made-by-China
We really should open more factories here stateside...
Not contracted to holosun either. They are made in China.
Profits are still going to a chinese company. You think Holosun sells them to sig at cost? They make a profit too. You get to pay for sigs profit and holosuns profit.Cost... employing US for assembly line tasks is expensive compared to labor costs elsewhere.
However, design and proof of concept is worth the expense and definitely worth the quality difference.
With all of this said... I'd rather buy a Sig Optic than Holosun. Even if they come from the same assembly line, at least the profit is going to a USA-German company.
What? I'm an M4C member and that's VERY old news. Some SIG's are assembled here from imported parts, some are imported complete--it varies by model.
