When failure isn’t an option. Now with more options for concealed carry and tactical shooters.
Holster wear. Barricade hits. Repeated recoil. Bad weather. Defender was designed for the realities of everyday carry and fast-paced tactical shooting, where equipment gets handled rough and doubt in your optic has no place in the equation.
The Defender-CCW™ and Defender-ST™ Enclosed Solar Micro Red Dots carry that reputation forward with enclosed protection that shields the emitter from rain, snow, dust, and everyday carry debris. Whether mounted on a pistol, offset on a carbine, or piggybacked on an LPVO, dual-power operation and rugged construction deliver the durability shooters expect from the Defender line. New green multi-reticle and tan housing options let shooters tailor their optic to their firearm or personal preference.

For some shooters, a green dot may be easier to pick up against certain backgrounds, in changing light, or simply because they can see green better than red. Likewise, the tan housing option gives users another way to complement specific firearms or the environment, all without changing the optic’s function or operation.
Green multi-reticle and tan housing versions of the Defender-CCW™ Enclosed (MAP: $299.99 / MSRP: $399.99) and Defender-ST™ Enclosed (MAP: $379.99 / MSRP: $529.99) are now available at your local dealer and online.
