Vortex Defender-ST Review — Red Dot Sight Test

Glad to see that this model shuts down after 10 minutes of inactivity. I have the Defender CCW and it is a decent optic but its shutdown time is 14 hrs! So if you used it for its intended purpose CCW for 8 hours a day it would effectively turn off for 2 hours each day, which is crazy. This is why mine sits on top of a range gun that comes out of the safe once a blue moon.
Totally tangent thought, but does anyone know why the smallest dot many manufacturers employ is 3 moa. Is it cost, technology, international convention, because most boomers can’t see a 2 moa dot? I actually find 3 moa a hair too big, but outside of Holosun and the DPP not many optics come smaller than 3 moa.

I guess that I am old school. I never gravitated to the Red Dots. I did take advantage of the picatinny rail to add Crimson Trace light/laser.

I put a Defender CCW on my FN522; so far, I’m pleased with it.

Mine is old. I think it's 2. It's definitely smaller than all my Holosuns.

Oh, we're talking about witty repartee ?
Yeah, send him the ten bucks. Although the first quip I ever shot at you is still one of the all time greats.

The newer ccw’s also have the 10min shutdown. I bought a second one when I noticed vortex had fixed this issue. I wish they would exchange the older 14hr ones for a new 10min model.
