Tough, adaptable, ready for anything—the Defender-ST Enclosed Solar Micro Red Dot gives you a no-quit edge on pistols, shotguns, and carbines. Its ultra-rugged, fully enclosed design protects the emitter against impact and the elements, keeping you on target in any condition. Battery and solar power keep it running as long as you do, while multi-reticle customization let you quickly adjust and lock on targets in any light—day or night—across any platform.

Enclosed Aluminum Housing

Durable 7075 aluminum enclosed housing protects against debris and moisture.

Multi-Reticle

Quickly adapts to diverse shooting situations.

SOLAR with Auto D-TEC Technology

Detects light conditions to automatically draw power from solar or battery as needed.

Large Viewing Window

For fast target acquisition and wide field of view.

Aspherical Lens

For a distortion-free sight picture and truer colors.

Fast-Rack Textured Grip

Aggressive texturing on face of optic for racking the slide off any surface.

Motion Activation with 10 Minute Auto-Shutoff

Automatically activates with motion while 10 minute auto-shutoff saves battery life.

Button Lockout

Prevents accidental brightness adjustment during use or transport.

Parallax Free

All red dot and holographic sights will exhibit some small amount of parallax. Matching current industry practices, this small amount would be considered 'parallax free' and will make a negligible difference in performance.

Unlimited Eye Relief

Non-critical eye relief for rapid target acquisition.

Side Load Battery

Easy battery changes without having to rezero your optic.

Waterproof

Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.

Fogproof

Designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures.

Shockproof

Designed to withstand the highest levels of recoil and impact.
