UK-based Shield Sights released its new open-top red dot sight this week. After checking out the OMSsc at SHOT Show last month, we are excited to see this innovative concept hit dealer shelves.

The OMSsc has a transparent top for “an unparalleled field of view and more accurate measure of ambient light conditions.” Like the company’s other sub-compact sight, the RMSsc, the new open-top sight uses a smaller CR1632 battery to allow the sight to fit the smallest pistols on the market. 
 

Constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum and anodized for corrosion resistance, the OMSsc uses Shield’s new clear glass lens with anti-reflective coating. The optic also uses Shield’s standard footprint and will co-witness with standard-height iron sights. It’s always ready (no need to shake awake) and has an auto-brightness adjustment that combines with the open top for a bright, unobstructed view.

The OMSsc is available in 4 or 8-MOA options, is night vision compatible, waterproof for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter, and has 1.5 years of life per battery. MSRP is set at $379.99.
