The strength of the Defender-XL is in its name – XL. Its sight window is significantly larger than in most traditional micro red dots, providing a clearer sight picture and aiding in faster target acquisition without losing your dot during movement. It’s an ideal choice for situations where quick reaction and wide visibility are critical.

The 5 MOA dot is perfect for close-range and high-speed engagements. It remains clearly visible even in fast movement and challenging lighting conditions. Brightness adjusts automatically based on ambient light, but users can also select from 10 manual brightness settings – including 2 compatible with night vision devices.

Built for rugged use, the Defender-XL features a CNC-machined 7075 aluminum housing that withstands shock, vibration, and tough environments. The optic is fully waterproof and impact-resistant, and the lenses are fully multi-coated for a bright, crisp image. The side-loading battery compartment allows quick and easy battery changes without removing the sight from your firearm.
