While pistol-mounted red dots gain popularity, holsters lag behind in RDS-specific designs—especially with regard to built-in shields or covers to protect the optic from debris and impact. That’s understandable, given the range of optic designs and mounting positions on the slide.
This post describes a prototype RDS cover that detaches from the optic when the gun is drawn. I’m hoping it inspires more robust designs, possibly made from Kydex, Neoprene, or 3D printed polymer. @Mack, @Tony Mayer, @Dark Star Gear, @Flamingo, @RevolverRob
I folded a cover for an Acro P2 from 3M Onewrap double-sided Velcro. One side opens when pulled from a cord attached above the holster body.
