Two Smith & Wesson optics cuts are covered here. The M&P Shield Plus with a factory cut takes an adapter plate, and the M&P M2.0 Optics Ready can take an optic made to sit straight in its cut.
Shield Plus plate
Outer Impact's aluminium type S plate holds RMSc, DPP and K-series footprint optics low and flush in the Shield Plus cut. These slim footprints suit the small slide, so the optic does not overhang.
Holosun SCS MP2
For the M2.0 Optics Ready, the Holosun SCS MP2 seats directly on the factory cut with no plate. It has a 2 MOA green dot with a 32 MOA circle, a solar panel that backs up the rechargeable battery, an aluminium housing and IP68 sealing. One part fewer means a lower optic and fewer screws to check.
By model
Both are listed on Optics ready plates for Smith & Wesson M&P. For slides without a cut, dovetail mounts are on the red dot mount page.
