NEW DEFENDER ENCLOSED SOLAR MICRO RED DOTS | OHUB News

The Defender series of red dots from Vortex has been extremely popular. Largely because of their affordable price and functionality, they’ve been used by casual plinkers, competitive shooters, and law enforcement. So far, they come in two sizes—the Defender-CCW for Romeo Zero pattern footprints, and the Defender-ST, which carries a Delta Point footprint for larger framed pistols. However, the trend in recent years has been toward enclosed-emitter red dots—where Holosun has dominated. Now, Vortex has entered the fray with a new line of Defender-series enclosed optics.

Enclosed Solar Micro Red Dots

Tactical shooters, law enforcement professionals, and competitors understand the stakes: split-second shots, unpredictable settings, and zero room for failure. Impact, water, grime, and the grind of days without rest — those aren’t just hypotheticals. They’re what separates success from regret.

Introducing the Vortex® Defender-CCW and Defender-ST Enclosed Solar Micro Red Dots — designed to meet the need for red dots that withstand weather, holster wear and tear, and accidental impacts common in competition and duty use. Fully enclosed for all-weather protection. Dual power sources — solar and battery — with Auto D-TEC technology, providing reliable power for long days and hard use. And a multi-reticle function that allows you to adapt to various situations, targets, lighting conditions, and platforms, from a carry gun to a carbine.

The Specs

• ENCLOSED 7075 ALUMINUM HOUSING: Durable protection against debris and moisture.
• MULTI-RETICLE: Quickly adapts to diverse shooting situations.
• SOLAR WITH AUTO D-TEC TECHNOLOGY: Automatically draws power from solar or battery, as needed.
• LARGE VIEWING WINDOW: For fast target acquisition and a wide field of view.
• ASPHERICAL LENS: For a distortion-free sight picture and more accurate colors.
• FAST-RACK TEXTURED GRIP: For racking the slide off any surface.
• EASY TO MOUNT: Uses Romeo Zero (CCW) and DeltaPoint® Pro (ST) footprints.
