About Vortex Defender-ST
The Vortex Defender-ST gives you fast and reliable aiming with its large clear window and crisp red dot. Shooters love how the 23 by 20 millimeter aspherical lens creates a wide sight picture that helps them pick up the target quickly during fast draws or dynamic drills. This makes it easier to stay on point whether you are practicing at the range or using it for self defense.
Its tough construction stands up to hard use every day. The 7075 aluminum body paired with the ShockShield insert handles recoil and impacts well while the whole unit stays light at just 1.48 ounces. You get solid performance in a compact package that fits many different setups without adding much weight.
Power management works smoothly in real situations. The CR2032 battery lasts up to 25,000 hours and the sight wakes up instantly with motion while shutting off after 10 minutes of no activity. Changing the battery on top is simple and you do not lose your zero which saves time and keeps you ready.
Mounting and fine tuning feel natural for most users. The DeltaPoint Pro footprint attaches securely to handguns and other firearms. You get 1 MOA clicks with plenty of adjustment range reaching 115 MOA elevation and 145 MOA windage. The textured front face lets you rack the slide easily against any surface for smooth operation.

Reviews
I love how quick I can pick up the dot when I draw my pistol. The window is big enough to see everything around the target clearly. Battery lasts forever and the motion activation works every time I need it.
The red dot is sharp and the adjustments are easy to make at the range. It handled hundreds of rounds without any issues. The textured front helps when I rack the slide fast. Great for daily carry.
Lightweight design makes it comfortable on my handgun. The sight picture feels natural and I shoot more accurately now. It survived a few drops with no problems. Solid choice for serious use.
