TomkatWhere to go for best/good price on Shield RMSC
I am seriously thinking of buying one or two Shield RMSC sights to mount on a couple of M&P Shields or P365s. I have several RMRs and have located good pricing on them. Unfortunately, I can only locate RMSCs at prices close to RMRs. Blah, blah, blah. I do like the RMS I have but find it nowhere near the quality of the RMR and thus would like to find as good of a price as I can. I'm a capitalist and will pay what I need to pay; but, I like to do my due diligence before I buy.
So, that's the long convoluted version of "where have any of you found the best price(s) on Shield RMSCs?". Thanks in advance.

RHINOWSONo idea, I looked into them online but could only find similar prices and I'll take an RMR everyday and twice on Sundays over anything else at the same price point.

Agreed. However, for daily carry and having an RMS, they really are more ideally suited for "fit" on these more compact pistols. They are not nearly as rugged as my preferred RMR; but, like I said, I'm going to mount one or two on Shields or P365s. If Shield would improve their warranty and provide glass lenses, they would be steps ahead of where they are. Most I have found are at suggested retail prices. Is anybody aware of any distributors that provide a military discount on these?

usp_fanMaybe buy the PPS M2 with the Shield factory installed and then sell the base gun? I be think the price difference is about $250?

I actually though of that. Or, just buy the PPS M2 setup as is with the RMSc and use it. I love my PPS M2. That combination with the RMSc is one of the better deals going. I've seen them a couple of times as low as $650. When you figure $400 +/- for RMSc and a $125 +/- milling job, all of a sudden, that is a really good deal.

I got my RMSC at Brownells. One of their discount codes knocked a few bucks off.

PhoenixTXI bought my RMS for my M&P Shield at Brownells. After looking around that was the best price going. I waited for a coupon ... $20 off $200 with free shipping or whatever... that helped.

HornFrom Shield Sights (UK): Brownells is their
U.S. distributer. ($400)
I bought one from Lone Wolf for $350 but I see
theirs is $400 now too.
It seems Shield Sights sets the price everywhere like Apple does.
Already have the RMS and a RMSc working and will
likey go another RMSc for my P365.
I hear about the "ruggedness" for the RMR... Doubt they're more rugged than the shield. (Shield originally built the RMS for them) A reviewer mentioned racking his pistol with the Shield during competition. Also, wound up shipping just the sight in a plain envelope via
USPS across country with no damage and zero remained the same.
The "lens" on the Shield is "10X more rugged than on the other glass ones".
Just wish they wouldn't set that price.
Stay safe
