Vortex Defender-ST 3 MOA Micro Red Dot Sight with Fully Multi-Coated Lenses and Motion Activation SKU: DFST-MRD3

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good choice for DPP footprint direct mount. Great optic if you need a direct mount for a DPP footprint. I stuck it on my Sig X-Ten and it works great and holds up to the violent nature of 10MM with no problems. The dot has no flickering or anything like older vortex optics like the viper and is all around much higher end. Changing the battery is extremely awkward and somewhat frustrating because its difficult to rethread the cap but that's a very minor gripe that you rarely will have to deal with. I also wish it was a hair thinner so I could use my backup irons without there being any guess work. I suppose if you wanted to get a raised front sight you could use the built in rear notch instead.
