My Sig Romeo Zero came today. Next week the slide goes to https://patriotdefense.com/patriot-defense-tanfoglio-slide-optic-milling/. I'm excited.

Sweet, lookin forward to seeing the finished product. Patriot Defense does great work.

Try resizing your images before you post them.

Curious how the Romeo Zero works out.  Have several Romeo 1s on pistols and I love them.  Unlike most of my friends who use Vortex and Leopold products, mine have never broken.  Maybe I am just lucky in this area.  Please post on how the sight works out.

This will be my first slide mounted dot. I am also curious about the durability. I'll try to keep updating. Time will tell and I'll try to keep the post up to date.

Good Luck on the Milling and install!  :)   Optics are now becoming more prevalent.
Have been considering an optic for one or two of my striker fired Pistols.

Lol. I didn't realize they were so huge when I posted.

Any way you can fix that? Takes forever to scroll thru them.
In the past I used to use Adobe Photoshop to resize my Pics.
These days I plan to use either Photoscape X or Picasa, both are available as free Apps.

I’ve had good luck with Imgur. Easy to resize images.

I learned I can resize pics in my phone. Updated with smaller pics.

Are you using an app to post from your phone? If so which one? I can only post a link to images from my phone, even if I do it through Imgur.

I post using the internet I tried tapatalk but never could get used to it. I use imgbb to host images and just copy in the bb code for the img. There maybe better easier ways but I've been doing it this way for ever.
