Can’t comment on the Romeo. But I went from a Strikefire 2 on all my rifles and shotguns and just got the 510c with flip out magnifier combo. It’s light years better and I had really no problems with the Strikefire. I feel like the 510c would be quicker to get behind and pickup than a Romeo as well, but never used one.

Not at all, I actually got it for PCSL which I believe can have shots out to 150 and decently small plates. I shot a match with it a couple weeks ago and maybe out to 80 yards the magnifier was basically in the way. But I could see it being extremely useful at 150-200. The combo can be had for pretty cheap and that’s the only reason I didn’t just grab another Strikefire and ended up loving the actual 510c

Haha, it’s a buffer less, 223 sidecharger that uses an 870 stock. I think it’s piston? Interested to try it out. We were going to go Monday but this silly storm ruined plans.

I have 4 of the 510cs. Like everything else, not perfect, but damned good, especially for the price. Run them on my PCCs and 22LR rifles, minus the protective shield (strictly personal choice - less scope to see around).
I like the solar power mode which I use at practice. Saves the battery for when I need a really bright reticle.
The option to use dot, circle, and circle/dot let’s you pick what works best for you.
How well do you think solar charging works on this? I mean, the surface area of the cells seems small, and the time for which it gets exposed to the sun is possibly small. Is it more of a marketing thing than actually functional?

If I read correctly. It uses soler during the day and battery in the dark. I might have misunderstood that and please correct me if I'm wrong.

The solar mode runs the sight without using the battery, but doesn't charge it. Just saves power by not using the battery. Battery is used when I need a bright reticle for faster sight acquisition. YMMV.
No, if for self defense, you'd have a 'questionable' time rationalizing that shot to a DA/jury.
TEOTWAWKI? Sure.

Well the choice is big window or small window.
I personally have both.
2 romeo 5 xdr(predator triangle) in green and a romeo 8t.
I prefer the square glass big window.
If you decide on the Rome 5 and wanna pick up a couple used ones, I'll sell em.
Purely because I prefer big window optics.
