First Look: Vortex Defender Green Dot Sights

Vortex has just added green dot options for its Defender series of pistol optics.
The Vortex Defender red dot series has been out for a couple of years now and currently features three different model sizes—the Defender-CCW, the Defender-ST and the Defender-XL. Now, Vortex is adding a green dot variant of each to its catalog.

There isn’t much more to be said about the new Defender optics that we didn’t cover when discussing the red dot versions, as they’re identical besides the color of their 3-MOA reticles. Like their predecessors, the Defender Micro Green Dot sights feature large viewing windows, SHOCKSHIELD polymer inserts for added protection and a 10-minute auto-shutoff to save battery life.


The Defender-CCW Micro Green Dot uses a Shield RMSc footprint and has an MSRP of $350, the Defender-ST Micro Green Dot uses a DeltaPoint Pro footprint and has an MSRP of $450 and the Defender-XL Micro Green Dot also uses a DeltaPoint Pro footprint but has an MSRP of $600.
