Pairing a red dot with a 1911 is a match made in heaven. You get the crisp trigger of a 1911 with the accuracy of a red dot. There’s just chance of missing from close range. What’s the best 1911 red dot?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sig Sauer Romeo 1<\/a> is hands down the best 1911 red dot on the market. It’s reasonably priced, has a 2600 hour continuous use battery life, and extremely durable. The Trijicon RMR might be slightly more durable, but it costs a small fortune.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would say 99% of the population would be happy with the Romeo 1. Competitive shooters and Military\/LEO might want to upgrade to the Trijicon RMR, but it’s really not necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Trijicon’s RMR long held the reign as the best pistol pistol red dot, but there’s a new kid on the block. At a fraction of the price Sig Sauers Romeo lineup of red dots is taking over the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This tiny little 1x30mm red dot is the perfect size for your 1911. It’s a 3 MOA reflex style open red dot that’s perfect for short to mid range<\/g> target applications. There’s even a groove on the rear of your sight for co-witnessing front and rear sights(that’s a nice added touch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What first impressed me about the Romeo 1 was the battery life. Sig Sauer uses a motion activated system to significantly extend battery life. After 2 minutes of inactivity the display shuts off and immediately turns back on when picked up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Might not always be on like the RMR, but I’ve never had an issue. At a fraction of the price<\/g> this is a fair compromise. I’m not actually sure how long the battery life lasts,<\/g> because it hasn’t died on me yet. Every 6 months I replace my batteries even though there’s no indication they’re failing me(a sleeve of CR1632 batteries is like $3 so why wait).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sig Sauer includes a lifetime warranty with most of their products, but I doubt you’ll ever need to use it. This bad boy is extremely durable and I’ve seen people put them through serious torture tests. Unless you’re using this red dot as a hammer you shouldn’t have any trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the money Sig Sauers Romeo 1 Red dot is hard to beat. If I had the extra cash to spend I would probably buy the Trijicon RMR listed below, but I’m not made of money. You either pay out the butt for a red dot with a 2 year battery life or pay $1 every 6 months for a battery, the choice is yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
