The Shield SMS Mini Sight is a 1x reflex optic built around an 8 MOA red dot reticle, housed in a black polymer body that mounts to the Shield footprint. Its D-shaped hard dipped acrylic lens carries a hard, anti-reflective and color free coating, and auto brightness adjustment keeps the dot readable as lighting changes.
Designed for military, law enforcement and sporting use, the sight allows shooting with both eyes open for wider peripheral vision and faster target acquisition. It is the original smallest, lightest and toughest mini day/night sight, with over 100,000 units delivered worldwide and service with the British Army, US Special Forces and NATO forces.
