Shield Sights RMS Review

Shield Sights is a UK based company that has been designing pistol mounted optics since 1996. The original Shield Mini Sight has been marketed in the US under several names, to include the Firepoint and JPoint. The Shield RMS (Reflex Mini Sight) is their current flagship pistol optic.

We received this optic in August of 2017 and placed it in service on a Gen 4 Glock 19 MOS. The RMS will fit on one of the MOS plates included with the Glock 19. However, if you want the lowest mounting option, you will want to purchase the RMS mounting plate from Shield Sights. The Shield mounting plate will place the RMS low enough to cowitness with factory Glock sights. The compact nature of the Shield RMS is one of its primary selling points. Not having to buy a set of suppressor sights to have a usable backup is also a point in its favor. Continue reading Shield Sights RMS Review

Trijicon SRO First Look from NRAAM

Trijicon announced the new Specialized Reflex Optic (SRO) several days before the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting. Almost immediately, the internet exploded with speculation about what the SRO is and what it isn’t.

Many shooters see the SRO as a successor to the combat proven RMR. Trijicon reps were quick to refute that. Trijicon intends the SRO to fill the needs of competition shooters and intends the RMR to continue its position as their slide mounted combat optic.

I had a chance to discuss the new optic with Trijicon reps at the NRAAM. At first glance it is easy to see how the SRO could be mistaken for a RMR replacement. The SRO boasts the same black forged aluminum housing as the RMR. The SRO window has very similar coatings and the footprint of the SRO fits current RMR mounts and slide cuts.
