The advanced version of the unique Vortex Defender red dot sight is now designed for duty pistols. It is slightly larger and heavier, yet remains extremely durable and perfectly suits the tactical nature of the firearm. The lens has been proportionally enlarged to provide wider field of view and broader zero adjustment. Combined with the classic 3 MOA dot, it excels in tactical and dynamic shooting. The 6 MOA version is ideal as a complement to a duty pistol or a personal self-defense firearm. Pistols are not the only option for the Vortex Defender-ST — with the included Picatinny mount, it also works perfectly on a shotgun or PCC rifle.
The sight body is precision-milled from 7075 aerospace aluminum, resulting in a lightweight, durable 41 g device. Hard-anodized aluminum provides high resistance to wear and scratches. Mount base in Shield RMS/RMSc standard eliminates the need for additional plates or gunsmith modifications. The front of the sight features aggressive Fast-Rack texturing for confident slide operation via the sight. Waterproof and dustproof housing with Shockshield polymer insert absorbs recoil and impacts effectively. Slim profile allows smooth draw and discreet carry. Large buttons on both sides provide an intuitive interface.
Vortex Defender-ST features a high-quality lens with multi-layer anti-reflective coatings for high light transmission and parallax-free, sharp image. Large aspheric lens ensures crystal-clear clarity center to edge. The 3 dot options (3 red/3 green/6 MOA) let you match the sight to your shooting style:
Click value 1 MOA, adjustable range 115/145 MOA (horizontal/vertical). ArmorTek coating protects lens from scratches and external factors.
