Shield RMSc footprint standard

Shield RMSc footprint standard

Paul L. |

Shield RMSc footprint standard consists of four sockets altogether. Two sockets are in the front and sockets are in the rear part of the footprint. There are also two screw holes in the lower part of the sight.

This standard is used for red dots of all sizes: red dots designed for full size pistols, for compact sized pistols and even for subcompact sized pistols.

Shield RMSc footprint is quite popular among all sorts of red dot manufacturers. Also some of the other footprints on the market [Holosun K-series footprint] is basically a modification of the RMSc footprint.

  • there are two sockets in front, distanced from each other 17mm [0.66 in], and
  • two sockets in the rear part of the red dot, distanced from each other also 17mm [0.66 in], and also
  • there are also two screw holes in the rear of the footprint that allow fixation of the red dot to a plate or red dot mount
