- The Defender-ST micro red dot is as versatile as your interests. Built on a DeltaPoint Pro footprint with 12 brightness settings, this optic can be part of your EDC setup, mounted for turkey or run in competitions with the included picatinny rail mount.
- Featuring a larger window than the Defender-CCW, the Defender-ST has a hard coated, aspherical lens. It is the perfect size for a smooth draw and wide enough to quickly acquire the dot while providing a distortion-free sight picture and truer colors.
- Defender-ST automatically activates with motion, while the 10-minute auto-shutoff saves battery life. The motion activation only works when the unit is in sleep mode. Button lockout mode prevents unintentional setting changes.
- Using a CR2032 battery, the Defender-ST has greatly improved battery life over the Defender-CCW line. Although battery life varies based on user habits, the battery runtime with the red dot continuously active at setting 6 is 25,000 hours.
- The fast-rack textured front face adds grip for racking slide off of any surface. Waterproof, shockproof and with ArmorTek coating protecting the lens, the Defender-ST is ultra-durable. The ShockShield polymer insert protects against hard, daily abuse.

Great window size, durable, crisp/bright dot, and most importantly, it’s a good looking sight. Also get a lot out the box. 10/10 recommend. This one and the SRO are my go to sights, I have 3 of each.

By mistake, I ordered the 3 MOA when I wanted the 6 MO. They graciously took the 3 moa back and quickly credited me. I ordered the 6 moa and it arrived promptly. What a quality Red Dot. Well built, clear glass and easy to function. Perfect size for a full-size mount. AND I’ll tell you…the VORTEX Customer Service is amazing. They have gone out-of-there-way, to assist and follow-up with getting it mounted.

Received this site as a warranty replacement for a Venom. Terrible. This thing is gigantic, it uses a Delta Pro footprint, so it will fit on 3 guns, you have to use the adapter plate which make suppressor height sites worthless, and they made a square window so it snags on your shirt when trying to draw. This thing belongs on a carbine, definitely not a handgun.

Worth every penny, and then some.

Dot stays sharp, even when dimmed for nighttime use.
