#VortexDefenderCCW

Red dots and reflex sights were initially intended to be used only on rifles and carbines. Fast forward to today and nearly everyone has adopted the red dot and pistol concept, or is at the very least, aware of it. However, the market for rifle-mounted reflex sights has received a bit more interest as of late and that’s why American Defense Manufacturing is excited to announce their new Vortex Defender-CCW Red Dot packages which will include your choice of a mount fit for whatever long gun or shotgun you want it on and at the height that is most optimal for your specific setup.

In the past five years, there has been an absolute boom in new micro-compact pistols. What followed was optics-ready models of those micro-compact pistols. With only a sparse amount of “micro-optics” and seldom in supply or at a feasible price point it was only a matter of time before other brands stepped up to the plate with their own offerings. Several footprints and types have made their mark in this timeframe but most are fragile and expensive. I am excited to say that now it is Vortex Optics’ turn in the spotlight. Today I am glad to introduce the Vortex Defender CCW 3 MOA Red Dot. Let’s dive right into my review!

The past few years have seen an absolute boom in micro-compact handguns and micro red dots to pair with them. I am happy to introduce the new Defender CCW Micro Red Dot from Vortex Optics. Their new red dot is touted as having one of the largest windows as far as micro red dots go. It features a rugged construction with an aspherical lens for a distortion-free sight picture and truer colors as well as a ShockShield™ Polymer Insert for shock absorption and added durability.
