Great sight from vortex, just a bit too wide - Vortex Defender-ST Enclosed Solar Micro 1x22.5mm Reflex Red Dot Sight

I have several Vortex products in use at the moment. I’ve found them to be of good quality, well built, accurate, and a good value. I also have a number of Holosun reflex sights, the main selling point there being solar powered with battery backup in low/no lighting conditions. So when I came across the Vortex Defender ST SOLAR POWERED, I jumped at it.

I really, really wanted this sight to work for what I needed it for. Unfortunately it was just a hair too wide to fit. That said, I found it very well constructed, excellent quality, and intuitive to use. The circle dot reticle is clear and crisp. If I could have I would have held onto it for future use.

My only down mark is the included Glock MOS adapter was about 2 to 3 millimeters too long to fit in the cut on my G45 Gen5. It would probably fit the sight cut on the 10mm and .45ACP models though.

Regardless, still highly recommend!
