Shield RMSc footprint standard

Which red dots will you be able to mount on the ,mount with RMSc or Shield RMSc footprint? Will you be able to install Sig Sauer Romeo Zero on the same plate as Shield RMSc? We cover the full compatibility of Shield RMSc footprint in this article.

Footprint compatibility explained

What does a "footprint" mean? The term footprint refers to a sctructure of the sockets and screw holes on the base of the optic device.

And what does it mean if the footprints are compatible?

Each optic sight has some base for mounting. The base consists of pins on various positions and holes for screws used for fixation of the sight to the mounts. If any two sights use the same base for mounting, we call that that they share the same footprint.

In this article we show which red dot sights share the same footprint.

Shield RMSc footprint pattern

Shield RMSc footprint consists of four sockets in the corners of the sight and of two screw holes in the rear of the sight.

The front as well as the rear socketes are 17mm / 0.66 inches far from each other. From the rear sockets to the front sockets the distance is 32,8mm / 1.29 inches. Position of these four sockets corresponds to position of pins that are on a mounting surface of any mount for this standard.

The screw holes are positioned in the rear part of the optic device. These function for fixation of the sight to the mounts. These two screw holes are 14mm / 0.55 inches far from each other.

The screws that are to be used for these screw holes are always included in the package with the sight.

Compatible red dots

The RMSc footprint is shared by many other manufacturers on the market.

CZ P-09 NOCTURNE night sights with tritium | type A

Use Night Fision- cheaper/ better/ reliable

I spent A LOT of time researching the Nocturne- C and my new Shadow 2 carry so I can help the community learn. As you can see here, even most STAFF don’t know or care enough to say so… go to Night Fision and use the “p-series” (pictured below). Its time we start punishing these companies for not knowing their own products, sharing the information we have with each other, and finding a dealer that offers the best quality and price to us the FIRST time. Do NOT use this company or give them your money.

CZ P-09 NOCTURNE night sights with tritium | type A

To clarify the situation - you asked us 2 days ago 'whether the p-09 nocturne sights will work on shadow 2 carry'.
We responded that they will not work.

You wrote back in similar manner as here (that is - very pasionately) that we advised wrongly.

But we did not advise wrongly. Why? Because although the sights are the same dovetail cut, they are different heights. So if you install Nocturne or Sig P320 sights on Shadow 2 Carry, they will technically fit, but on shooting range you will soon discover that you shoot higher than you are supposed to, when using such sights. The reason is that Carry has front sight 0.5mm lower.

In short - we advised you correctly because we were dealing with this question already too many times and knew the answer. Else we would not advise.

We are amazed that you decided to write us bad review because of our advise, but that is up to you.

Wish you well and if any further compatibility question, just let us know.

Hello,
I checked your order and it was dispatched the same day as ordered. It appears UPS was trying to contact for your import procedures but unsucessfully so it was not delivered. Also I could not have found any email from you regarding the shipment. Please write us at info@optics-spot.com and we will resolve

Mount

It's okay but it's not a immediate fit and will need some gun smiting to allow it yo fit.

Browning Hi-Power red dot mount | Trijicon RMR footprint

Thank you for review! Unfortunately with some guns fitting is required. Most often it is resolved easily by removing little bit of the material from the bottom of the red dot mount. It because most guns have some tollerances. Sometimes the tollerances are higher, and then the mounts have difficult time sliding in without slight material removal on the side of mount.
Glad you were able to resolve and the product serves now.
