Overview

Springfield Armory designed the RDP (Rapid Defense Package) to eliminate the gap between carrying a micro-compact pistol and running a red dot sight. The factory-installed Shield SMSc uses a polymer housing and metal hood, with an automatic brightness sensor that adjusts to ambient light. The slide is machined with an optics cut specific to this footprint, ensuring zero retention without adapter plates. The 3-inch hammer-forged barrel features a Melonite finish, and the overall length remains under 6 inches. This springfield rdp micro-compact 9mm pistol with shield smsc red dot ships with a flush-fit 11-round magazine and an extended 13-round magazine, both with a pinky extension floorplate for improved grip control.
