Does it come just on DPP footprint? What about RMR?

A
Answered by JPGurgs, member, from AZ, United States, on June 30, 2026

The Vortex Defender-ST Enclosed has a semi-DPP footprint - it's shorter in length than the optic cut of my SIG Sauer P226RXP DPP / Romeo1PRO cut slide, thus leaves almost a 1mm gap at the back of the optic (it might need to have a filler / spacer plate).
The Vortex Defender-CCW Enclosed has a RMSc footprint.
