This was the last of three sessions with the red dot, shot in various lighting conditions from low overcast to bright and sunny. Every session with the Shield Reflex Mini Sight Compact led me to the same conclusion: one very impressive reflex sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rms-footprint\">RMS Footprint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a pistol shooter, no doubt you\u2019ve heard of red dots made with the Shield \u201cfootprint\u201d for the mounting of the optic. Well, that footprint or mounting system is the creation of no other than Shield Sights LTD.&nbsp;Based in Bridport, Dorset, England, Shield Sights has been producing a variety of firearm accessories since the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, the company introduced the Reflex Mini Sight Compact, taking the company\u2019s popular RMS Shield reflex and slimming it down to fit on single-stack pistols like the Glock43, the Smith &amp; Wesson Shield, and the 1911.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Red dot\" class=\"wp-image-199076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V2-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V2-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The RMSc Glass Edition features aerospace-grade aluminum housing and an auto-brightness system.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The red dot features a low-profile, aerospace aluminum frame design, allowing a shooter to co-witness with iron sights. The Compact also sports an all-new, scratch-resistant glass lens, a real departure from the original RMS which was built with a poly lens. Shield upgraded the electronics on this newer sight, too, with improved battery contacts within the same frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSc Glass operates on an auto-brightness system\u2014no manual brighter\/less bright controls, and it worked well throughout my shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elevation and windage are controlled via tiny Allen screws, with the help of a \u201cMiniDial.\u201d More on that below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"872\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V4-1024x872.jpeg\" alt=\"Minidial for zeroing Shield red dot\" class=\"wp-image-199077\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V4-1024x872.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V4-352x300.jpeg 352w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V4-150x128.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V4-768x654.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V4-1536x1308.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V4-2048x1744.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shield includes a MiniDial with the optic for zeroing purposes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-easy-mounting\">Easy Mounting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I mount the RMSc Glass onto a Springfield Armony Echelon, for two reasons. One, I knew this was a quality 9MM pistol, having reviewed it and used it on other reflex optic reviews. And two, the Echelon features Springfield\u2019s special slide cut and mounting system which allows one to attach optics with RMS Shield, Trijicon RMR, and Leupold DeltaPoint Pro footprints, among others. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSc went onto my Echelon easily, once I put the correct mounting pins into the slide cut. It tightened down nicely without the need for thread locker (although using thread locker is certainly a good idea).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shooting-time-with-the-rmsc\">Shooting Time With the RMSc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At my outdoor range, I initially zeroed the Shield and Echelon at 12 yards, shooting from a rest. No surprise that my first shots were considerably off target. But instead of what I usually have to do with red dots\u2014which is to click the windage and elevation and essentially \u201cwalk\u201d my shots into the bullseye\u2014I used the MiniDial which came with the RMSc package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pushed one end of the small Allen wrench (included) through the middle of the MiniDial. Next, I inserted that wrench end into the elevation or windage control. I then followed the instructions printed on the MiniDIal as to how many clicks would move the point of impact and how far. It worked very nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V5-1024x750.jpeg\" alt=\"Minidial and wrench zeroing in Shield red dot\" class=\"wp-image-199079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V5-1024x750.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V5-400x293.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V5-150x110.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V5-768x562.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V5-1536x1124.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V5-2048x1499.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here, the MiniDial is attached to the windage control.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once zeroed, I shot groups offhand and from a rest. The best groups included the Bad Guy shooting mentioned above, as well as two six-shot clusters at .90 inches done offhand at five yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-precision-and-auto-illumination\">Precision and AUTO Illumination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSc Glass Edition features one of the most precise red dots I\u2019ve ever used. I can only think of a couple of sights with equally precise dots, and they run nearly double the suggested retail of this reflex optic. I assume the sight\u2019s very clear glass lens has a good deal to do with the sharp-edged precision of the dot, as well as some first-rate LED electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V6-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Shield RMSc installed to Springfield Echelon in front of red, white, and blue target\" class=\"wp-image-199080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V6-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V6-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V6-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V6-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V6-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/V6-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Six shots at five yards offhand with the RMSc and author\u2019s Echelon 9MM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I usually prefer red dots with manual brightness controls. Most of the units equipped only with auto brightness controls don\u2019t quite do the job for me, especially when lighting conditions go from very bright to darker and vice versa.&nbsp;My own eyes, of course, could very well be a factor in this. Yet, I experienced zero situations with the Reflex Mini Sight Compact where I wished the dot was brighter or less bright.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used the RMSc inside my house, too, in fairly dark conditions (no shooting, obviously!), and the dot popped nicely. Good to know for potential home defense applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-rmsc-is-ready-to-go\">The RMSc Is Ready To Go <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a package, the Reflex Mini Sight Compact came with the optic and a rubberized protective cover, the MiniDial, Allen wrenches for both the elevation\/windage controls and to tighten the provided screws to mount the optic onto a handgun, and a low-profile Glock MOS plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/rugers-american-ii\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"a-precise-red-dot-shields-mini-sight-compact-rmsc\" title=\"A Precise Red Dot: Shield\u2019s Mini Sight Compact (RMSc)\">Ruger\u2019s American II<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the RMSc box contained a single CR2032 battery, and small poly washers to go between the optic and\/or MOS plate when mounting the unit.
