Arm yourself with the red dot specifically built for modern everyday carry. The Vortex Optics Defender-CCW Micro Red Dot Sight delivers maximum concealment, reliability, and the first-shot quickness you need when facing a threat with nowhere to run. The slim profile means no extra bulk or width for a smoother, no-snag draw from under clothes and less chance of printing, so the only one on the street who knows you’re packing is you. A large, class leading sight window and brilliant, illuminated dot help you lock on target faster and defend more accurately, even in low light. Auto-Shutoff to preserve battery life. Motion activated, so it’s instantly ready when you need it. Fits full-size to micro-compacts. Meant for those who prioritize personal protection, the Defender-CCW lets you carry more discreetly, defend faster, and more accurately when life is on the line.
Built compact and tough for everyday carry, the Defender-CCW still offers a class leading window size, along with exceptional optics with minimal distortion for a truer sight picture. Adjustable brightness lets you find the perfect setting for your eye, while a button lockout feature prevents accidental adjustments while carrying. And with a long battery life and motion activation, you can be confident the Defender-CCW will be ready when you need it.
The Defender-CCW is a complete rediesign of the current MRDS offering from Vortex. Its window is much bigger than the Viper and Venom MRDS as well as being much more durable than all of them. The Defender-CCW is also smaller and has a Shield RMS footprint. Will fit all Shield RMS and Shield RMSc footprints without any modification.

Nice
Better glass than the Holosun I had to compare it with. But between the two, there’s no wrong choice.
USLoving it!
Great follow up shots ! Works perfectly g43x.
USVortex Defender CCW surprises!
I was reluctant to purchase the Defender CCW because I was not a fan of the stippling on the front face. Much to my surprise, it looks WAAAAY better in person. The stippling does not jump out near as much as all the press photos. The red dot is really small but appears to be well built. I am very happy with the purchase.
USGreat optic
Vortex products are the best. Only ones I buy
USVery nice
Just got this in. Construction looks nice. Nice assortment of accessories. Dot is extremely crisp (most crisp out of my two Aimpoints, Romeo 4 and Romeo 8). This is the updated version with ten minute shut off, and corrected refresh rate, which I believe were the two main problems people seem to have with this optic. We'll see how it holds up.
