Vortex is allergic to the RMR footprint. Too bad, this was so very, very close to greatness.

Yea.. they're cutting 80% of the American market out

if Vortex made an enclosed RMR red dot (a Micro HUEY) it would sell out

Dang was really hoping for an RMR footprint. 😭 Was very hopeful seeing this leaked in the Magazine Reload video on Vortex Nation 2 weeks ago.

Everyone complaining about the footprint...dot developed to fit the M17/M18. The DPP/Romeo2 footprint will be the footprint that all will be base on in the future. As someone with multiple RMR's, it is what it is.

Lost me on the footprint. Nice looking dots but will never use one.

Please make them with green dots!!

I was impressed with the Defender CCW, great design overall and really appreciate the refresh/auto-off updates and free mount. I do wish it would stay locked, I talked to CS and I guess it was designed to unlock when it sleeps, I understand why, dont quite agree with it... wish there was an option to go into a "super-locked" mode so a user who cares too can really lock it out so its not unlocking/changing settings inadvertently. Anyway still love it and love that it direct mounts to rms/rmsc and having full co-witness.

Direct mount on my 43x MOS is a win

Love this video! ❤️ Is Vortex going to make an enclosed red dot?

@fbodkin1 15 күн бұрын

No mention of the sleep timer. Is this the old 14 hour sleep or the newer 10 minutes timer? Also, the newer Defender has an improved emitter to improve the dot refresh

@tysonhalvorson2863 Ай бұрын

Any plans for an enclosed emitter option anytime soon?

@jeffperritte191 Ай бұрын

Would like to see green dots and more complex reticles added. The DPP is appreciated for an Sig guy. This is a good start but finish the lineup more completely.

Does the ccw latest model have a 10 min auto shutoff or still the 14 hour shutoff? And how do I tell if I’m getting one with the 10 min auto shutoff, serial number after certain number?

@leesamuelson 19 күн бұрын

it is updated along with emitter. been out for a couple months now. the box says 10min auto shut off now.

None of the screw’s worked for my Kimber R7 Mako. I just bought the CCW version yesterday. Other than that I’m definitely buying these new series over the Holosun

Thoughts on using the XL on a predator defense pistol like a 10mm? Or would the ST be better?

@VortexOpticsUSA Ай бұрын

The Defender-ST would likely be your best bet on that. We actually did a video on the best pistol for bear defense on the Vortex Nation KZfaq channel (both pistols in the test were topped with the Defender-ST). You can watch that at: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcuPlKuEppi0kpc.html

@Oneproblemme101 Ай бұрын

Did you guys fix the flicker problem from the first one?? Can you still over adjust the red dot completely out of the glass?

@VortexOpticsUSA Ай бұрын

Ah, you're referring to the refresh rate. It's since been updated on the Defender-CCW to eliminate any issue. The Defender-XL has an entirely different emitter than the CCW and you certainly won't experience any issues with the refresh rate. Give us a shout if you have any questions!

How about a 1 moa dot? Why always that big dots

@Landoftheignorant Ай бұрын

I’m looking at a 2, but I’ll take a 1 if possible. The medium size one would be good for a rifle.

@Mitsurugi2424 Ай бұрын

You got that backwards. You want the smaller dot on the rifle, and the bigger dot for the pistol. I prefer not to go above 2moa on a handgun, but I refuse to go above 3 on a rifle.

@Landoftheignorant Ай бұрын

@@Mitsurugi2424 I’m saying size wise. The dot size is not optimal.

@almostontimehero5415 9 күн бұрын

Because you will never hit anything past 100yards with a handgun and claiming self defense at a 100yards will raise eyebrows. 1moa is pointless on handguns.
