About the Shield RMS mounting standard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Shield RMS mounting standard, popular for compact open reflex red dot sights<\/strong>, has a layout resembling the Docter\/Noblex standard in terms of socket and screw hole arrangement, yet it is more compact. There are four sockets <\/strong>for the adapter pins, one placed at each corner of the mounting surface. Additionally, it features two screw holes<\/strong> positioned between the middle and rear section for a secure fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modifications of the Shield mounting standard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leupold DeltaPoint Pro mounting standard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This mounting standard, initially introduced with the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, bears a resemblance to the Shield RMS mounting standard but with notable differences. The sockets, located in each corner of the mounting surface, are 4.2 mm in diameter<\/strong>, compared to the 3.8 mm diameter sockets of the Shield RMS standard. As a result, red dot sights adhering to this standard can technically be installed on adapters made for the Shield RMS standard, but the fit will be loose and less secure. Conversely, red dot sights designed for the Shield RMS standard cannot be mounted on adapters intended for the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro mounting standard due to these dimensional variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
