Springfield RDP Micro-Compact 9mm Pistol with Shield SMSc Red Dot

The Springfield RDP Micro-Compact 9mm Pistol with Shield SMSc Red Dot represents a purpose-built convergence of concealability and rapid target acquisition. This factory-integrated optics package is engineered for shooters who demand a low-profile carry platform without compromising sighting speed. The RDP designation denotes the Ready Defense Package, which combines Springfield Armory’s proven micro-compact frame with a pre-installed Shield SMSc reflex sight. This configuration eliminates the need for aftermarket slide milling or separate optic purchases, delivering a turnkey solution for personal protection.

Overview

The polymer frame incorporates a textured grip surface and an integral accessory rail for mounting lights or lasers.

The pistol ships with one flush-fit 11-round magazine and one extended 13-round magazine. Overall length measures 6.0 inches, height is 4.5 inches with the flush magazine, and unloaded weight is 18.6 ounces.
