Romeo 5

[alanwk]

I just put a Romeo 5 red dot on my ar15. The red dot seems really small. Can the size of the dot be increased? also when looking through the wrong end there are like 3 red dots. Other than that all seems good. Any comments are welcome. Thank you

That's a 2 moa red dot (means small) and can not be changed.

It is relatively small at 2 MOA. That effectively means at 100 yards, the dot will cover approximately 2” of space on a target and, ideally, a round fired will impact somewhere in that space on the target.

… Can the size of the dot be increased?

Nope, the Romeo5 is a fixed 2 MOA dot. You can increase brightness of the dot and give the appearance of a slightly larger dot though it can get fuzzy if too bright.

… also when looking through the wrong end there are like 3 red dots...

That’s why it’s called the wrong end. When you’re looking thru that end (and close enough), you’ll see the illuminator/dot generator, and at least one reflection of the dot on the lens. It’s why some manufacturers incorporate provisions for a honeycomb or other cap to reduce the chances of the illumination being seen by someone who’s being used as a target.

2 moa is geared towards a pistol. larger numeral like 5 moa denotes larger Dot.

2 MOA for pistol? I'm confused......as usual...

Yes sometimes we all are that's why we ask questions and give answers on the internet. If it's on the net it's true Right?

3 to 6 moa preferred for pistol, 2 moa for carbines is what I always read. I have a Sig Romeo 5 on my EP9 and it is perfect IMO.
