At the NRAAM 2024, Shield Arms introduced an innovative product that revolver enthusiasts will love.
The new mount allows shooters to easily attach a red dot sight to their Smith & Wesson J-Frame revolvers, both old and new.
Key Features
- Aluminum Construction: The mount is a lightweight aluminum piece that attaches to the side of the revolver.
- Easy Installation: It pins through the frame, making it simple to install without modifying the revolver.
- Optic Compatibility: This mount provides modern optics compatibility without compromising the revolver’s classic look or holster fit.
- Enhanced Accuracy: Ideal for revolver fans who struggle with traditional iron sights, the red dot mount offers improved aiming capabilities.
Versatility and Future Models
This is the first model released by Shield Arms, with more versions for other revolvers expected soon.
Priced at around $100, this mount is an affordable way to upgrade a beloved wheelie with modern optics.

Well, one of the easiest way to transform a sleek concealed carry hangun into a combersome piece. For target, no problem at all.
Just … my opinion …
…. Without compromising holster fit? Maybe if you don’t have the Red Dot mounted on the plate. Most every holster I have for that j frame would not take it with a red dot on the firearm. Every holster, iwb and owb. Interesting statement..
