Frequently Asked Questions

How do you install a Shield RMS on a Glock MOS?

To install a Shield RMS on a Glock MOS, first ensure the firearm is unloaded. Remove the factory MOS plate, degrease the screws and mounting surfaces, apply medium-strength thread locker, and mount the plate. Then, secure the Shield RMS sight to the plate using its screws, torquing them until the tool flexes.

What are the key features of the Shield RMS sight?

The Shield RMS is a reflex mini sight known for its low profile and lightweight design. It's available in 4 MOA and 8 MOA dot sizes and features a self-adjusting dot that automatically changes brightness based on ambient light conditions. Battery life is estimated to be very long, measured in months or years.

What is the proper torque for mounting a Shield RMS on a Glock MOS?

For mounting the Shield RMS and its associated plate on a Glock MOS, proper torque is achieved when the tool (Torx key or hex key) used to tighten the screws begins to flex. This method prevents over-tightening, which could damage the screws or the firearm.

Can you use factory iron sights with the Shield RMS on a Glock MOS?

Yes, the Shield RMS is designed with a low profile that often allows for co-witnessing with factory iron sights on Glock MOS pistols. This provides a backup aiming solution if the red dot sight fails or is not needed.
