During our visit to Shield’s booth at Shot Show 2024<\/strong>, we explored their newest products. Shield is renowned for producing red dot sights that are exceptionally small, lightweight, and durable. Given the increasing popularity of optic-ready micro-compact handguns, it’s no surprise that their booth was incredibly crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n

While the AMSc<\/a> was the latest and most sought-after product this year, we also choose to cover the standard AMS model<\/a> which continues to attract considerable attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between Shield AMS and AMSc?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the AMS and AMSc models are both compact, enclosed <\/strong>reflex red dot sights, the AMSc is a bit smaller (with ‘c’ denoting its compact nature). This makes it more appropriate for micro-compact optic-ready pistols, while the AMS is more suited to full-size optic-ready <\/strong>pistols. The larger size of the AMS accommodates additional features, such as buttons for manual illumination control <\/strong>(in addition to automatic adjustment, which is the only option in the AMSc), and the capability to switch between reticles<\/strong> (2 MOA dot, 2 MOA dot & ring, 8 MOA dot, 8 MOA dot & ring).<\/p>\n\n\n
