Equip yourself with a red dot built for today’s everyday carry. Its low-profile design ensures seamless concealment, while motion activation means it’s ready when you are. Compatible with everything from full-size pistols to micro-compacts, the enclosed Defender-CCW™ features a generous sight window and a crisp, high-visibility dot for lightning-fast target acquisition in any lighting condition. Designed for those who take personal defense seriously, it delivers the speed, precision, and reliability you need when every second counts.

Engineered for durability, precision, and flexibility, it’s ready to meet the demands of any mission. With multiple reticle options and 10 daylight and 2 night vision brightness settings, an enclosed emitter, and a body made from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum, this optic is ready, no matter the weather conditions or the mission. And when you're done, the Auto-Shutoff feature means it automatically turns itself off after 10 minutes, ensuring that you'll have a battery that lasts. The CR2032 lasts 35,000 hours on medium brightness before accounting for the solar panel, and over 150,000 hours when utilizing that feature. The Shield RMSc footprint ensures a wide and readily available range of after-market mounts and plates so your Enclosed Defender-CCW™ will mount to whatever platform you wish to put it on.

- Mounting Footprint: Shield RMSc
