SMSc
SHIELD MINISIGHT COMPACT


Building on the success of the original SMS, the SMSc delivers an updated, more durable design crafted from reinforced nylon glass-filled polymer. It offers the choice between a hard-dipped acrylic lens or a crystal-clear glass lens, ensuring exceptional clarity and resilience. Specifically designed for EDC and single-stack pistols, the SMSc is a compact, tough red dot sight built to withstand the daily wear and tear of regular shooting.
The SMSc maintains its iconic low-profile design, allowing shooters to co-witness with standard iron sights, thanks to its unobtrusive frame and rear iron sight notch. Staying true to SHIELD’s philosophy, we’ve eliminated unnecessary features, offering a clean, simple sight with just one point of focus. No oversized housing blocking your view. No dimmed lenses or distracting buttons. No backup sights interfering with your line of sight.
At SHIELD, we design our sights to sit as close to the bore-line as possible, ensuring that they naturally align with how a trained shooter presents their pistol. This allows for a smooth, seamless transition and a shooting experience that feels familiar but elevated.
Shield Sights – made by shooters, for shooters.
