TheChef1 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) anyone used one of these? if the dot is bright enough and they hold up seems like it could be a really good optic. https://www.shieldpsd.com/shop-2/rmsx-8moa Edited January 4, 2023 by TheChef1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachjet Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I have a RMS 8moa on my shield plus I love it for a ccw optic. Circle is more crisp and clear then my holosuns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeilAndrew Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I have an RMSx. It is one of my least favorite red dots, at least for my application. There's no manual brightness adjustment and the zeroing is done through a set screw. The zeroing through a set screw is not that big of a deal, but I prefer click adjustments with a screwdriver or a casing at least. The manual brightness adjustment is particularly important because throughout the winter my club shoots indoors. It is nearly impossible to see the dot indoors. It is so dim and barely perceptible. That was enough of a dealbreaker for me that I never even bothered to try it outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really shoot any matches inside everything is outside in the florida sun. but I do shoot indoors sometimes. you still have yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone45 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Yeah the lack of a manual brightness or off switch is really offputting for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's DPP footprint so that makes it pretty easy to mount on a bunch of stuff, but I think a lot of people realize how dogpoo of an optic it is, so I've not been able to sell, though not for lack of trying.

Apparently they are coming out with a new model with a glass lens. Maybe they’ll update the brightness setting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it doesn't seem very robust.. but neither is my beloved Trijicon SRO. It looks and feels like a skinnier DeltaPoint Pro and shares the same footprint, as I mentioned earlier.

Yeah I have two SRO's and a romeo 3 max. I like them all but what intrigued me about this one was how low it sits and how small it seems overall excluding the window which is what we want big.

hre321 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I have owned 2 RMS optics, have a SMSc on my Hellcat and a SMS on a CZ P10C. Never had a problem with any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I have a RMSC on a Prodigy and no issues so far. It's auto-adjust but has been fine for all the different indoor lighting I've encountered. Haven't used it outside yet. Windage and elevation adjustments require a hex key. Mine took less than five minutes and maybe a dozen rounds to dial in. I'm quite pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
