Vortex Optics Defender-CCW Enclosed Solar Micro Red Dot – 3 MOA

When it comes to personal protection, concealed carry, or duty use, reliability is non-negotiable. The Vortex Optics Defender-CCW™ Enclosed Solar Micro Red Dot – 3 MOA is engineered to give shooters absolute confidence in every scenario. With its fully enclosed emitter, dual power sources, and rugged aluminum housing, this micro red dot sight delivers the perfect balance of durability, performance, and adaptability—whether mounted on a full-size handgun or a micro-compact pistol.

Rugged Enclosed Design for Ultimate Reliability

Unlike open-emitter reflex sights that are vulnerable to rain, dust, and dirt, the Defender-CCW Enclosed Solar Red Dot protects its emitter inside a 7075 aluminum housing, ensuring dependable performance in all environments. Built to withstand heavy recoil and hard use, this red dot is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, making it a trusted choice for concealed carry and duty applications.

Dual Power: Battery and Solar Technology

One of the standout features of this optic is its Solar with Auto D-TEC Technology, which automatically draws power from solar or the onboard CR2032 battery depending on lighting conditions. With up to 35,000 hours of battery life (and up to 150,000 hours with solar assist), shooters get long-lasting reliability without worrying about their optic dying when they need it most.

Multi-Reticle System with 12 Brightness Settings

The Defender-CCW Solar Micro Red Dot features a 3 MOA dot, a 32 MOA circle, or a circle-dot combination for rapid target acquisition. With 12 brightness levels (10 daylight and 2 night-vision compatible), this optic adapts seamlessly to any environment, from bright midday sun to low-light defensive situations. The aspherical lens ensures a distortion-free sight picture and truer color fidelity, while the large sight window enhances visibility and speed on target.

Designed for Concealed Carry and Duty Use

Purpose-built for defensive shooting, the Fast-Rack™ textured grip on the front of the optic allows shooters to rack their slide against any hard surface, adding a vital backup in high-stress encounters. The motion activation system powers the optic on instantly with movement, while the 10-minute auto-shutoff conserves battery life. A button lockout mode prevents accidental adjustments during carry or transport.

Ease of Use and Versatility

The side-load battery compartment allows for quick battery replacement without losing zero, saving time at the range or in the field. Its Shield RMSc footprint ensures compatibility with today’s most popular concealed carry and micro-compact handguns. At just 1.59 inches long and 1.3 ounces, this optic adds minimal weight while maximizing performance.
