The Viridian RFX44 Adapter Plate for S&W Shield RMSc Footprint lets you mount the Viridian RFX44 green dot on a slide cut for the S&W Shield RMSc footprint. Viridian precision-machines the plate specifically for the RFX44 optic.
Use it when your pistol's optic cut doesn't match the RFX44 directly. The plate sits in the slide's Shield RMSc cut and gives the RFX44 a matching base, so you can run a green dot without having the slide recut.
Features:
Fit check: you must already own the Viridian RFX44 optic. Confirm your slide is cut for the S&W Shield RMSc footprint, not an RMR or other footprint, before you order. This plate will not adapt other optics.
Install tips: clean the slide cut, plate and screw threads before assembly. Make sure the screws are the correct length so they don't contact the firing pin channel, apply a light thread locker, and torque to the optic maker's spec. Zero the optic, then recheck that the screws are tight after your first range session.
