Proudly designed, manufactured, and assembled in Great Britain, SHIELD continues to develop products that enhance shooters’ accuracy and performance. Viking Arms are proud distributors of SHIELD SIGHTS in the UK.
Introducing the AMSc Building on the success of the AMS, SHIELD proudly presents the AMSc (Advanced Mini Sight compact). This latest addition to the SHIELD AMS line of products offers an enclosed emitter in a scaled-down package, perfect for covert carriage on slimline pistols but rugged enough for duty use on full size pistols.

- Durable Design: The AMSc features a newly designed aerospace-grade billet aluminium body, providing robustness not usually found in micro-compact products.
