AMS 4MOA – Advanced Mini Sight

$597.79 ex VAT

Introducing the Advanced Mini Sight from Shield Sights – a sleek and reliable pistol optic designed for performance.

This enclosed sight not only offers a compact, durable design but also allows for co-witnessing with your standard iron sights. It seamlessly integrates with SHIELD’s signature footprint, ensuring a straightforward installation on a wide range of factory-made, optic-ready pistols from leading manufacturers.

No need for complex setups or additional adapters — simply mount it and you’re good to go. With the added benefit of co-witnessing, you’ll always have a reliable backup aiming option. Perfect for those seeking to enhance their shooting experience with both convenience and precision.

Its origins are born from two of our existing products, both tested in the military and carrying NSN numbers after meeting DEFSTAN International requirements: SIS (NSN-1240-99-176-8362) and RMSw (NSN-1240-99-490-5863).
