Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mount work with my RMSc or SMSc optic?
Yes, the RMSc and SMSc are compatible with this mounting plate. However, because these compact optics have a narrower footprint than the plate itself, there will be a small amount of overhang on each side. This does not affect function or security — the optic will still mount and lock down firmly.
Does installing this mount require permanent modifications to my Glock slide?
No permanent modifications are required. This plate is designed as a direct replacement for the factory rear sight, using existing mounting points on the Glock 17/19 slide. You can install and remove it without milling or machining your slide, making it a fully reversible upgrade.
Is this mount made by or affiliated with Glock?
No. This product is manufactured by Shield Sights and is not manufactured, authorized, endorsed, or warranted by GLOCK. While it is designed and tested to fit Glock 17 and 19 pistols, GLOCK does not warrant or represent compatibility with their firearms. Always verify fitment before use.
