The Shield Plus Optics Ready variant adds a factory-milled optics cut to the Shield Plus slide, enabling direct mounting of small red dot sights popular for concealed carry. The miniaturized optics cut accommodates Shield RMSc-pattern sights without significantly altering the slide profile. This is the factory solution for the growing demand for optics-ready carry pistols.
