Vortex Defender CCW 3MOA Green Dot

The Vortex Defender CCW 3MOA Green Dot is built compact and tough for everyday carry, delivering one of the largest sighting windows in its class and exceptionally clear optics for a truer sight picture with minimal distortion. Designed for fast, confident shooting in real-world conditions, this compact pistol optic puts a bright green dot front and center, helping you target quickly in varied lighting and against diverse backgrounds. With 10 brightness settings, button-lockout, and motion-activation, you can trust the Defender-CCW to be ready when you need it most, whether you’re at the range, on duty, or on personal defense detail.

The Defender-CCW focuses on fast target acquisition without sacrificing durability. Its large viewing window provides a broad field of view, which translates to rapid acquisition and improved accuracy under stress. The iron-club of its performance is a 3 MOA daylight bright green dot that remains highly visible from dawn to dusk, and the sight’s 8 daylight settings plus 2 night-vision-compatible options ensure legibility in bright sun, urban shadows, or low-light environments. The brightest setting cuts through glare and complex backdrops, while the dim settings reduce bloom and maintain stealth in night operations. The dot’s color and size are chosen to minimize eye strain, allowing for more natural aiming and quicker transitions between targets.

In the field, reliability matters as much as speed. The Defender-CCW features a ShockShield Polymer Insert to cushion against daily abuse, keeping the optical path pristine and reducing wear on internal components. Its fast-rack texturing on the optic face gives you a secure grip for quick, confident slide racking—essential when the slide needs a firm contact point from any surface. For shooters who value extended battery life, the motion activation with 10-minute auto-shutoff helps preserve power by waking the optic upon motion and then returning to sleep when idle, so you’re not hunting for fresh batteries during critical moments or at the end of a long day of training.

Every detail is tuned for performance and ease of use. A top-mount battery design lets you change the CR1632 battery without re-zeroing, saving time at the range or in duty scenarios. This lightweight, single-piece chassis keeps the optic slim and robust, while the low-glare matte black anodized finish resists corrosion and wear and helps camouflage your position in the field. The Defender-CCW is designed to be parallax-free in practical terms; while all green dot and holographic sights exhibit a small amount of parallax, the effect is negligible and does not hinder fast, precise aiming. With unlimited eye relief, you can acquire a rapid sight picture from a wide range of head positions, making the Defender-CCW forgiving and easy to pick up for shooters of all sizes and preferences.

Built to weather the harsh realities of daily carry, the Defender-CCW is waterproof through O-ring seals and fogproof across a wide range of temperatures. It’s built to withstand recoil and impact, delivering consistent performance across training and real-world use. The 1x magnification keeps your field of view wide and your situational awareness high, so you never lose track of your surroundings as you engage targets. Compatibility and setup are straightforward thanks to the RMSc mounting footprint, a standard many modern pistols share. Included accessories—Picatinny mount, shim plate, a small tool, mounting screws, a lens cloth, a rubber cover, and a CR1632 battery—make installation efficient and repeatable, so you can zero and re-zero quickly if you upgrade or swap platforms.
