Many props to Vortex for listen to the customer critiques and updating the refresh rate and auto shut of features. Now this is one of the best optics for smaller carry guns on the market. Definitely in my top two choices and it’s looking better every day.

Bought the CCW version for my Shadow Systems CR920P Elite and it’s been flawless through about 7-800 rounds so far. Held zero the whole time and honestly looks badass on it as well. Thanks Vortex.

Love mine, super reliable. Very accurate. Have had it for a year. Vortex makes great sights. Love the Diamondback rife sight. 600 yards very accurate.

The defender ccw in an enclosed emitter style like Holosun EPS carry would be the perfect dot, I’m thinking. Hopefully that’s in the works 🤞🏼

i just ordered a Defender ST for a new Glock 19 Gen5 MOS. Very interested in comparing vs the very different Leupold Deltapoint Micro on a G19 Gen3. Very different red dots, with similar price and intended usage - carry/defense. Please give details on the G45 build the compensator, barrel, trigger... looks very nice.

Off topic but holy cow! You have that muzzle flip on the Glock 45 as close to zero as I have ever seen! Ok about the video. You didn't mention the improved emitter on the Defender CCW. I feel that Vortex has hit it out of the park with the new model. What is more, Vortex offered to exchange my old SKU number optic for the new SKU free of charge. Talk about knowing how to keep a customer.

Warranty and supporting a company owned by Americans. Otherwise no difference. Probably made from the same components as a Holosun.

@saleembaba5144 4 ай бұрын

Best warranty and customer service from an American company; that alone sells itself to me even though I like Holosun. I run the Defender CCW on my 365XL and have an RMR on my custom Glock. Been debating which Holosun I want and really like the oversized circle to help find the center dot faster.

Holosun has a more common footprint indeed...

@jpnw6577 4 ай бұрын

Unfortunately there are no reasons. Holosuns are all over the internet getting dropped and beaten up and ensuring the punishment. They hold zero, retain and excellent dot without flickering and they have features that actually make sense within a working man's budget. They also are the cutting edge of optics technology in the market. Vortex, along with many others are simply way behind. Even my beloved Aimpoint is behind although I throw one on any true SHTF gun. The ACRO P2 is a beast for instance.
