Overview

Springfield Armory designed the RDP (Red Dot Pistol) variant to bridge the gap between concealed carry convenience and competition-grade sighting speed. The pistol features a 3-inch barrel and a 11+1 round capacity in 9mm. The Shield SMSc red dot is a low-profile, polymer-encased optic that sits flush with the slide profile, reducing snag hazards during draw. The factory-installed optic is co-witnessed with the standard front and rear sights, allowing immediate transition from dot to iron sights if the battery fails. This springfield rdp micro-compact 9mm pistol with shield smsc red dot is a complete system, not a modification.
