December 31, 2020: Red Dot Shield

The Smith & Wession M&P Shield 9 M2.0 Performance Center 4″ barrel with Red Dot sight. That’s the long description for SKU 11786.

The Red Dot is a Crimson Trace 1500 and the slide is cut to accept this sight. The sights co-witness with the red dot so high profile sights are not required. When adjusted to strictly co-witness, the red dot will appear in front of the green fiber-optic front sight.

The lens is polymer, not glass. The only user control on the “Shield Mini Optical Sight” is alignment for windage and elevation. There is no on/off control or brightness control. The dot appears to be about 2.5 MOA. The sight is warranted for two years.

Once the CR2032 battery is installed, the sight is always on. A provided cover puts the sight in standby mode to conserve the battery.
