The AMSc (Advanced Mini Sight compact) is the latest release in the SHIELD AMS line of products to offer an enclosed emitter, aimed at narrow frame and single stack EDC pistols.

It’s sleek design and iconic SHIELD footprint offer backwards and forwards compatibility with existing products and demonstrate our continued effort to retain our footprint in all future projects.

All AMS line optics are derived from our SIS and RMSw products and as such meet rigorous international DEFSTAN Standards.

The patented design features include:

  • Utilises SHIELD’s Iconic footprint
  • Aerospace grade billet aluminium body
  • Crystal clear glass window
  • Nitrogen sealed housing, submersible to 30 feet for 30 mins
  • Magnification free true 1 x lens
  • 1-3 year battery life based on environmental usage
  • Automatic brightness
  • Co-witness capability ( Direct slide mount or low profile plate required )
  • Multiple battery options to extend operational life

Following on from the release of the AMS comes the latest offering from SHIELD, the AMSc. Expanding the range of enclosed emitter products, the AMSc offers a host of features associated with its big brother but in a scaled down package, aimed at narrow frame or single stack pistols for EDC and concealed carry requirements.

Utilising our unique SHIELD footprint ensures forwards and backwards compatibility with existing firearm installations and accessories. A newly designed aerospace grade billet aluminium body provides a host of features not normally found in a micro compact product.

No click adjustment allows for a much more accurate zero with wider limits of elevation and windage, multiple battery tray options allow for a choice of battery capacity to increase operational life or reduce the overall profile of the housing.

Nitrogen sealed housing, submersible to 30 feet for 30 mins ensures all weather capability with zero user interaction required.

Benefitting from multiple patents, the AMSc is still able to offer a co-witness using our hollow bridge rear sight design and remains watertight whilst being one of the smallest and attractive enclosed sights on the market.
