TAPRed dot Shield RMS?
Anyone have experience with this red dot?
I have two RMR's I run on Glock 19's, but I am interested in having Lone Wolf mill a slide and mount one of these for me.
Thanks!

pingman274I'm running a Shield on my G43, works great. Suarez did my milling.

soggy_spinoutI've heard positives about their earlier designs like the JPoint, though I believe those are actually made here and not in the UK (at least now they are). Trijicon at one point even sold a version and it was the likely inspiration for their own RMR which came later if I remember correctly.
Their latest ones look interesting, if kind of ugly in a bullfrog kind of way. Their earlier units were mostly built with polymer housings, I believe. Made for a low mass unit that purportedly matches well with guns that have lighter slides. The one concern I would have about these centers on their warranty coverage. Electronics will eventually break when living on a pistol slide. Shield doesn't really have a support network here if I read the tea leaves correctly.

The Shield is an aluminum housing and does use the same footprint as a Jpoint.
