Vortex is the new king of micro/mini red dots. - Vortex Defender-ST 1x23mm Reflex Red Dot Sight

Long story somewhat short, I have tried many, many red dots in the past couple of years. Trying the Likes of Swamp Fox, Vortex (Viper/Venom), SIG, , Trijicon, and Holosun. From my personal experience as well as vast amounts of research on how well each Perspective red dot holds up durability wise and holds a zero after being beaten to death from loads of torture tests ln YouTube, the Holosun 403c and 503c ended up living on my Glocks. Having good Shake awake Tech and being durable and holding zero they were and are amazing red dots. However in comes the Vortex Defender ST my first introduction to the Defender Line up and of course I chose 6 MOA. Vortex’s previous Red dots were Decent. Not many features and not the most durable and reliable red dots you could get, Now they absolutely Tripled Down and dropped an absolute Gem with the Vortex Defender ST. It’s an absolute Tank, Extremely Durable practically begging you to Wrack or even slap wrack it off Any Rough surface you desire thanks its Heavy Duty Textured face. The Window of the RDS (FOV) is absolutely amazing. You get very fast target acquisition and the Glass is PRISTINE. The amazing Illuminator results in a Vibrant Perfect Dot as well. Oh, and do I Mention it’s got an excellent and reliable shake awake feature? I’d go as far to say that it might even be a little more fine tuned than the tried and true Holosun’s Shake awake feature. All in all this Red Dot sight by Vortex in my personal opinion, marks them as the Nee king of Red dots and the ones to beat when it comes to Sheer Quality, Durability, and feature set. They are also second to NONE when it comes to mounting options out of the box. Coming with a Pic Rail Attachment, all screw sizes and sets you could possibly need to attach it to your pistol (or long gun) and even a Glock MOS plate with screws for it as well. Incredible. Well done Vortex! �
