Vortex Defender CCW 3 MOA Micro Red Dot

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.

From increasing your effective range to shooting faster without sacrificing precision, the benefits of running a red dot on handguns are numerous and proven. The new Vortex® Defender-CCW™ lets anyone packing a full-size, subcompact, or even a micro-compact for self-defense experience the speed and accuracy advantage that’s so critical when facing a threat with nowhere to run. Meant for people who prioritize personal protection, the Defender-CCW™ is focus-built for the demands of modern concealed-carry users. Ultra-compact and tough, it delivers the biggest sight window in its class for "both eyes open" shooting and enhanced peripheral vision. The smooth, slim profile means no extra bulk or width for a 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.

Other design benefits include:

• LARGE ASPHERICAL LENS for distortion-free sight picture and truer colors
• SHOCKSHIELD™ polymer insert to protect against hard, daily abuse
• FAST-RACK™ textured front face that adds grip for racking slide
• ADJUSTABLE BRIGHTNESS for customizable illumination settings
• AUTO-SHUTOFF to preserve battery life
• MOTION ACTIVATED for instant readiness when you need it
• SHIELD RMS FOOTPRINT eliminates costly retro-fitting, extra plates, drill and tapping

Rugged. Reliable. Ready to defend. Trust the Defender-CCW to help you carry discreetly and with more confidence, keeping you prepared for personal self-defense when the stakes are high.
