29 Oct 2025

Industry-Leading ROC System Showcased in Recoil's Premier Concealed Carry Publication

We're excited to announce that our innovative Revolver Optic Conversion (ROC) has been featured in Issue 47 of Concealment Magazine by Recoil. This recognition from one of the firearms industry's most respected publications highlights the ROC's revolutionary approach to modernizing classic J-frame revolvers with red dot optics.

Bringing Red Dots to Revolvers Without Compromise

The Shield Arms Revolver Optic Conversion (ROC) represents a breakthrough in revolver modernization. For decades, mounting red dot sights on Smith & Wesson J-frame revolvers required expensive gunsmithing, permanent modifications, or simply wasn't possible. The ROC changes everything.

This precision-engineered mounting system allows shooters to install micro red dot sights on their J-frame revolvers without drilling, milling, or permanently altering the firearm. The completely reversible design means you can upgrade to modern optics while preserving your revolver's original configuration—a perfect solution for collectors and everyday carriers alike.

Why the ROC Matters for Concealed Carry

Concealed carry revolvers remain incredibly popular for backup guns and everyday carry, but traditional iron sights can be challenging, especially in low-light conditions or for shooters with aging eyes. The ROC solves this by creating a stable platform for modern red dot optics, delivering:

  • Faster target acquisition in defensive situations
  • Improved accuracy at all distances
  • Better visibility in challenging lighting conditions
  • Easier sight alignment with an illuminated aiming point

Available in Two Optic Footprints

The ROC is offered in two configurations to accommodate the most popular micro red dot sights:

  • RMRcc Footprint - Compatible with Trijicon RMRcc and similar pattern optics
  • RMSc Footprint - Compatible with Shield RMSc and similar compact optics

Engineered for Performance and Durability

Constructed from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum—the same material used in critical aerospace and defense applications—the ROC delivers exceptional strength while maintaining minimal weight. The Type II anodizing provides wear resistance and corrosion protection for years of reliable service.

Each ROC system includes everything needed for installation:

  • CNC-machined conversion bracket
  • Precision-fitted side spacers
  • All mounting hardware

The system is specifically engineered for Smith & Wesson shrouded hammer and hammerless J-frame revolvers, ensuring perfect fitment. It's even compatible with the Phlster City Special holster, allowing you to carry your optic-equipped revolver concealed.

American Innovation, American Made

Like all Shield Arms products, the ROC is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA with rigorous quality control standards. This commitment to American manufacturing ensures you receive a product built to the highest specifications.
