Thanks I didn’t know that I’ll add them to my list.The Romeo Zero and Holosun 407K and 507K have this as well. So basically, all of them.

I just purchased a Hellcat OSP and looking for an optic that will co witness. I own a shield with vortex venom mounted on rear sight slot. Love it but does sit high, and so the Hellcat. Shield prices are out sight. looking for info.The Romeo Zero and Holosun 407K and 507K have this as well. So basically, all of them.
I had two of the early plastic bodied Shield SMS (JP branded) sights and they both failed. The Shield SMSc is the one SA seems to be selling through the online SA store. The Holosun is not in widespread release yet, they are thinking April before its in most stores. The Sig Romeo Zero is an option, and while I don't like it as much as a metal bodied sight, for about half the price I would take it over a Shield SMSc polymer body. I would personally go with the Romeo 0 if you have to have one now, or wait until the Holosun is out. The Holosun is the same internals as the excellent 407/507 series, but in a smaller footprint so there should not be much in the way of teething issues even though its a "new" optic.
Have you had a chance to mount the Romeo on the HC yet? Were you able to use the screws that came with the site, or did you have to get shorter ones?I did end up pulling the trigger (pun intended) on the RomeoZero. Optics planet had it on a discounted, deep sale, and for the price, I figured I would give it shot (pun intended). I'll post another update with mounting procedure, fit and finish as well as functionality.
Can you co-witness the iron sights with it?View attachment 2071
The Sig Romeo zero fit very nice. The screws that came with it are about .035 to long though.

Sweet update! I have not received my order yet (SIG keeps failing on delivery dates) Did you need to modify the screws at all?View attachment 2071

Good info. I will say that I did not watch the video after I read in the bottom of the post that Holosun requires milling of the slide. I'm not milling a slide that is already set up from the factory for an Optic. Excellent info sir!Start watching from 3:50. Says Holosuns require milling of the Hellcat slide.
Me too. I wish Trijicon would make an optic for OSP. They'd sell a ton.I watched the video earlier today, really liked the Holosun 407K until it mentioned the additional machining needed for the Hellcat. I’m going to hold out for a little while to see what shakes out in this new year. Hellcat is to popular to be limited like that, although I cant wait to long, I’m kinda old.
There will be a new optic option in March or April for under $100. My friend at ADE Advanced Optics (Tony Liu) sent me drawings and plans for a new red dot that will have the Shield RSMc footprint. Below are the drawings (pics) he sent. You can find ADE Advanced Optics at eBay and Amazon as well as ordering directly. ADE is an American company in Oregon and I own several of their optics. These optics quality is comparable to Vortex and Buris but what really sets them apart is outstanding customer service. They have always stood behind their products. I'm just a customer who was looking for a quality red dot reflex sight at a reasonable price when I discovered ADE and 3 years later I still use their products. I won't tell you these are service level quality and durability optics so if you are a LEO they may not be the right choice for a service sidearm but 90% of enthusiast will be more than pleased with them.View attachment 2265
Just wondering if you would be willing to update all of us after you have been to the range with your ZERO? How was it? does it hold zero pretty well? How was it trying to dial it in?View attachment 2071
