Big, bulky and relatively fragile, they were uncommon and expensive.
But, as with all things technological, they became smaller, tougher and cheaper.
Spoiler alert: I like it, and I bet you will too.
However, all these sights had one thing in common largish size.
But why did it take so long?
Now, try that for a handgun.
Oh, and it has to do this over and over while also retaining a consistent point of impact.
Some are big, some are small, some are more affordable, some are quite expensive.
In fact, Springfield Armory currently recommends two optics for the OSP theJP Enterprises JPointand the Shield RMSc.
Were looking at the latter of those here today.
What Is the Shield RMSc?
It features all the tough design and materials of the RMS, but in a smaller package.
The one I received in for testing was the 4 MOA variant.
Yes, you read that weight right.
Its length is 1.57, width is .91 and height is just .87.
Its worth noting the lens is clear with no reflective filter on it.
To install, remove the Hellcat OSPs cover plate with a T-10 torx key.
Align the RMSc on the OSPs slide, and affix it using the two M4-0.7 threaded screws.
Try it out for yourself.
Pick up an OSP with a Shield RMSc and put the red dot on a fixed point/target.
Then, move your head around so the dot moves around the expanse of the Shields lens.
Youll notice that while the dot moves around relative to your perspective, it stays on target.
Once you get a feel for it, it can beveryfast.
Conclusion
I have to admit I really like the Shield RMSc red dot on the Hellcat OSP.
As with everything, practice makes perfect.
So, pick up a Hellcat OSP and try out the Shield RMSc optic.
I dont think youll be disappointed.
