Description

The Defender-CCW Micro Red Dot Sight was built from the ground up as an ideal optic for everyday and concealed carry applications, and offers the performance and quality that all Vortex optics are known for. When compared to Vortex’s Viper MDRS and Venom MDRS, the Defender-CCW offers a smaller overall profile, yet a larger window size, and is significantly more durable than both. The small size of the Defender-CCW greatly reduces the risk of snagging on loose clothing or equipment during the draw, while also reducing the chance of printing to maintain discreteness while concealed carrying. The massive window size is the largest in its class, ensuring a clean sight picture free of distortion. In terms of durability, the Defender-CCW is outfitted with the exclusive ShockShield polymer insert which allows the optic to easily withstand everyday shocks, impacts, vibrations, and repeated recoil. The Defender-CCW’s outstanding durability also extends to the innovative FastRack feature – this utilizes a knurled texture machined directly into the face of the optic, and allows the Defender-CCW to be pressed against any surface to rack the slide of the host pistol. In addition, the Defender-CCW utilizes a motion activation so its always at the ready, and an automatic shut off helps preserve battery life.

  • Compact Size & Massive Window
  • ShockShield Polymer Insert: Allows the optic to easily withstand everyday shocks, impacts, vibrations, and repeated recoil

I am a fan of this sight. Yet to find one I love. I wish they would put out a green dot like this and I wish there was a more simple dot. But I do like it.

Have always been a big fan of vortex optics. Great quality for the price point. Was looking for this product to replace another red dot on a pistol. Definitely a great product. Dot easy to see and acquire target with. Easy installation and comes with different sized prepackaged screws for the weapon that it will be going on, and also included a shim if needed. Dot has adjustable brightness, and upgraded to a 10 minute off time if not being used. Easily adjustable to get dot on target. Have never bought anything from Eurooptic. Fast reliable check out, great shipping. Will definitely buy through them again.

Pulse of the light is slightly noticeable. Has not impacted use. Fit and finish is good. Time will tell. Seems durable.

Great optic! Built like a tank. Comes with a ton of mounting screws. Just wish they offered this with a green dot option. Fast shipping as always from Europtic!

Cool optic, unfortunately trying to find a low profile mounting base with the RMS Shield footprint for a Beretta 2301 Tactical has been impossible. So it sits in the box. Wish they had chose a footprint that is actually popular, seems to be 3 that are really common, RMS Shield is not one of them.

This is a very well built optic. I would definitely recommend it. This site has the best price on it too.

Crisp dot even with Astigmatism, it's not a complete mess. Glass is very clear. Easy to mount, great tool for battery cover included. Best price I found by far, of course best shipping in the business! Oh the rough texture on front of the dot housing is excellent for slide manipulation.

I'm very happy with this optic so far! Very good price/performance ratio and it looks, fits, and feels great. It fits well and, although I haven't used it too much yet, it also performs. Best part is that you can change the batteries without having to remove it and lose zero since it has a topside battery compartment. Eurooptic also did a great job in getting it to me fast and in perfect shape. I'll almost certainly be back for another from this same line of optics when I next have need for one. Thanks!

Tried a Romeo Zero and it would not zero in a Shield 2.0 in 30 SC. Paid twice as much and then some for this. Wanted the 6moa dot but it is perpetually out of stock everywhere. Already have one on another Shield. These are great red dots. I wish they would go back to the old school see more with click knob for on off and brightness level. These work and they work well, just wish they were less $. I'm cheap on some things. I put these on toys that can be tools. Mostly rely on irons for EDC.
