The New Vortex Defender-ST – Bigger Window, Bigger Features

The Vortex Optics Defender-ST, priced at $469.99 MSRP, epitomizes the “standard” dimension in the expanding range of handgun optics. Featuring a DeltaPoint Pro footprint, widely prevalent across numerous firearm platforms, this optic is equipped with a motion-activation feature and a 10-minute auto-shutoff to preserve the life of its CR2032 battery.

Barneveld, Wisconsin – Struggling to find a red dot that works great on all your guns? Vortex® hears you. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the new Defender-ST. It’s the new all-purpose micro red dot designed for everything–from your handgun to your shotgun, paired up with a carbine, or piggybacked on your AR’s LPVO.

Whether running drills at the range or meeting the demands of duty use, the Defender-ST is ready when and wherever you are. Rugged and reliable? It’s a given. Large sight window? Absolutely. Motion-activation and a dot with adjustable brightness deliver superior target acquisition, adaptability in all lighting conditions, and faster follow-up shots.

• 7075 Aluminum Sight Housing for added strength and corrosion resistance
• Large Aspherical Lens for distortion-free sight picture and truer colors
• Advanced Shockshield Polymer Insert to protect against hard, daily abuse
• Fast-Rack Textured Front Face that adds grip for racking slide
• Adjustable Brightness for customizable illumination settings
• 10-Minute Auto-Shutoff to preserve battery life
• Motion Activated for instant readiness when you need it
• DeltaPoint^® Pro Footprint for versatile mounting on pistols, ARs, and shotguns
• 3 or 6 MOA red dot reticles available

While I primarily would use the Defender-ST as a fairly inexpensive competition optic, the ST would also find itself just as comfortable being used as an offset or piggyback mount for a carbine with an LPVO setup, or even for use as a shotgun-mounted optic for hunting season.
