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.

US
A solid value sight backed by an excellent warranty
This was my first reflective red dot handgun sight. I selected this particular model due to the shake on wake feature, long battery life and Vortex's excellent warranty. I have a astigmatism so I do get a starburst/blurred dot, but not so much that it renders the sight ineffective. I have not made it to the range yet so I can't vouch for its durability or function. If you are new to these like me it will take a bit of time to adjust. A bit of dry firing and sight acquisition practice will probably be needed.
US USSurprisingly good and flush fit
This is my first time using Vortex for a micro dot, and I was worried about the quality and durability. It mounts perfectly to my Hellcat Pro Comp without a plate. This is the first dot where I don't crank the brightness because the highest setting is too bright. The window is clear and not distractingly tinted, the housing is very durable, and the battery is very easy to remove.
United StatesGreat budget optic
This thing works great for me. I got it when it was $165. Would give five stars but the shake awake/ sleep mode is dumb. Mounted it on top of a $300 PSA Dagger.
