Features in practical use
80 % more lens area
Compared with Shield's Mini-Sight range, the lens widens the field of view; the image stays true to colour and distortion-free.
Transparent acrylic roof
The translucent roof architecture (first used on the OMSsc) with an acrylic hood causes almost no visual obstruction.
Adjustment without click detents
The patented mechanism adjusts without click detents and allows co-witnessing with standard iron sights; zeroing is done with the mini dial and hex wrench.
SHIELD footprint
Mounts to the SHIELD footprint, for which Shield lists more than 100 mounting solutions; M4x8 and M4x10 mm screws are included.
Automatic brightness
The light sensor controls brightness, so the sight can stay on. One CR2032 (fitted underneath) lasts 20,000 hours in average daylight.
IP67
The sight withstands immersion to 0.9 m (3 ft) for 30 minutes (IP67).
Reticle
8 MOA
Red dot of 8 MOA, seen through the enlarged lens.
Automatic brightness
The light sensor adjusts brightness; the range runs from night-vision compatible to visible against a bright sky.
Almost unobstructed view
The transparent acrylic roof causes almost no visual obstruction.
Eye-safe
The light source is a red LED, not a laser; no radioactive materials.
