Shield Sights OMSsc Glass Edition OMSSC-8MOA-GLASS (also known as the Shield Open Mini Sight Sub Compact 8 MOA Glass Edition).
This is an ultra-compact, open-emitter micro red dot sight from Shield Sights, purpose-built for concealed carry on micro-compact pistols (Shield/RMSc footprint). The "Glass Edition" features a true crystal-clear glass lens (no magnification or colored tints) combined with a unique translucent acrylic roof — a world-first design that provides an unobstructed panoramic field of view while allowing more ambient light to reach the photodiode for better dot visibility and more precise automatic brightness control.
Key Features & Specs
- Reticle: 8 MOA red dot (bright, fast-acquiring dot ideal for defensive shooting; 4 MOA version also available).
- Lens: Square-shaped, crystal-clear glass lens with anti-reflective, color-free coating. No magnification, parallax-free. The translucent roof design enhances clarity, reduces obstruction, and improves light transmission to the sensor.
- Brightness: Fully automatic adjustment (always-on design — no manual buttons or shake-to-wake). Night-vision compatible.
- Battery: CR1632 3V lithium (bottom-loading for easy changes without removing the sight). Typical battery life: ~9,000 hours (approximately 1 year of average daylight use).
- Construction: Aerospace-grade 6082-T6 aluminum body with a hard-impact translucent acrylic roof. Matte black finish. Extremely rugged yet lightweight.
- Footprint: Shield/RMSc (fits most micro-compact pistols like Sig P365, Glock 43X MOS, Hellcat, etc.).
- Durability: IP67 waterproof/dustproof rating (submersible to 3 feet / 1 meter for 30 minutes). Shockproof and built for hard daily carry.
- Dimensions (sight only): 1.60" L × 0.75" W × 0.85" H (40.8 mm × 19 mm × 21.5 mm).
- Weight: 14.7 grams / 0.51 oz (without battery) — one of the lightest micro red dots available.
- Additional: Low bore axis for natural point of aim. No radioactive materials.
The OMSsc Glass Edition stands out for its innovative translucent roof, which gives a more "open" sight picture than traditional enclosed or hooded micro dots while maintaining excellent dot brightness and clarity. Reviewers praise the crisp glass lens, ultra-low weight/profile for concealed carry, fast target acquisition with the 8 MOA dot, and overall ruggedness despite the tiny size.
Who It's For
- Owners of micro-compact pistols seeking the smallest, lightest possible red dot for everyday concealed carry.
- Defensive shooters who prioritize speed, a natural sight picture, and minimal added bulk/weight.
- Users who want a premium "always-on" optic with automatic brightness and true glass clarity.
