Reviews & Ratings for Shield Sights OMSsc Open Mini Sight Sub Compact 1x 17.35mm Reflex Red Dot Sight — 2 reviews — Page 1

The slim design alone with super basic functionality makes this perfect for edc. The top clear space is a good step in the right direction but not perfect. This my first Shield product and not sure what to expect. The orange color dot is different but not bad.

These are my initial impressions, as I haven't logged more than a few hours with the OMSsc. That said, I've been blown away thus far. The first thing that you notice is the beautiful and robust aluminum construction of the optic, giving way to that unique, crystalized transparent hood. Looking down the sights is a very different experience. The frame surrounding the lens appears razor thin, so all you see is the dot floating in your vision. Most people scoff at smaller optics, but this is one of those rare situations where seeing is believing. For all you COD fans out there, best way I can describe it is the JAK Glassless Optic lol. The roof disappears, so all you see is two razor thin lines of the frame that sandwich your red dot. The lens is crystal clear too, with no tint whatsoever. It makes it a much more enjoyable shooting experience when you combine everything mentioned. Time will tell regarding battery life and durability, but considering the aluminum construction and sub-compact target audience, I would trust that a company like Shield Sights wouldn't put out a dud. That transparent hood doesn't just look great either. It really does work when filling the dot with more ambient light. All in all, it's a very cool optic that's innovative and appealing. In a market where red dots are becoming redundant, this is one that breaks the mold.
