Vortex Defender-CCW Red Dot Sight (3 MOA Dot)
Key Features
  • Large Hard-Coated Aspherical Lens
  • Motion Activated, 10-Minute Auto Shutoff
  • Fast-Rack Texturing
  • 8 Daytime, 2 NV Brightness Settings
Highly compact and lightweight for everyday carry, the Defender-CCW Red Dot Sight will get you on target quickly. The 3-MOA red dot illuminates in eight daytime brightness levels and two that are compatible with night vision gear, and the aspherical lens gives a distortion-free, virtually parallax-free sight picture with unlimited eye relief. Aggressive texture on the face of the sight allows you to rack your slide against any surface. The Defender-CCW is motion-activated and shuts off automatically after 10 minutes, and because the battery installs on the top, you don't have to re-zero your optic when replacing it (which won't happen often, given the battery's lifespan of up to 9500 hours.)

Vortex Defender-CCW Overview

Highly compact and lightweight for everyday carry, the Defender-CCW Red Dot Sight will get you on target quickly. The 3-MOA red dot illuminates in eight daytime brightness levels and two that are compatible with night vision gear, and the aspherical lens gives a distortion-free, virtually parallax-free sight picture with unlimited eye relief. Aggressive texture on the face of the sight allows you to rack your slide against any surface. The Defender-CCW is motion-activated and shuts off automatically after 10 minutes, and because the battery installs on the top, you don't have to re-zero your optic when replacing it (which won't happen often, given the battery's lifespan of up to 9500 hours.)

  • Large hard-coated aspherical lens provides a distortion-free sight picture
  • Motion activation and 10-minute auto shutoff, which saves battery life
  • ShockShield polymer insert absorbs shock to the 7075 aluminum body, protecting it from everyday abuse
  • Fast-Rack aggressive texturing on face of optic for racking slide off any surface
  • Top mount battery for easy battery changes without having to re-zero
  • Eight daylight-bright illumination levels aid in faster center-point acquisition in bright daylight conditions, plus two night-vision-compatible settings
  • Matching current industry practice, the small amount of parallax is considered parallax-free and will make a negligible difference in performance
  • Unlimited eye relief for rapid target acquisition
  • Waterproof with O-ring seals to prevent moisture, dust, and debris from penetrating for reliable performance in all environments
  • Fog resistant
  • Withstands a wide range of temperatures
  • Rugged construction withstands recoil and impact
  • Low-glare matte black anodized corrosion- and wear-resistant finish helps camouflage the shooter's position
  • Compact, lightweight single-piece chassis

Nice optics. Hold true with 9mm recoil. I like the shake to wake feature.

The Defender CCW works great with my Carry Gun.

The Defender CCW works great with my Carry Gun. I have on on the Sig365 AND on the Masada Slim. Works great with my holster and no other tools or plates were needed.
