Description

When every fraction of a second counts, the Defender-XL in Matte Tan Anodized finish gives competition goers the edge. Built with a massive sight window and engineered for speed, this optic delivers lightning-fast transitions, enhanced peripheral vision, and the durability to keep you on top from stage to stage.

The DeltaPoint Pro footprint ensures broad platform compatibility, while the daylight-bright 5 MOA red dot makes target acquisition effortless in any environment. Designed for competition but tough enough for duty or range use, the Defender-XL blends performance, speed, and rugged reliability.

Why the Defender-XL™ Stands Out

  • Oversized Sight Window – Expansive field of view for faster transitions and improved peripheral awareness.
  • Optimized Reticle – 5 MOA daylight-bright red dot designed for rapid acquisition and fast follow-up shots.
  • Built to Last – ShockShield™ polymer insert, single-piece chassis, and rugged waterproof/fogproof/shockproof construction.
  • Shooter-Friendly Design – Top-loading battery, motion activation with 10-minute auto shutoff, and button lockout to prevent accidental changes mid-stage.
  • Competition-Ready Finish – Matte TAN anodization reduces glare, resists wear, and stands out with purpose.

Features at a Glance

  • 5 MOA Defender Dot with 10 brightness settings (8 daylight + 2 night vision).
  • Aspherical lens for distortion-free clarity and truer color.
  • Fast-Rack™ textured face for confident slide manipulation.
  • Parallax-free, unlimited eye relief for rapid engagement.
  • Extended battery life – up to 25,000 hours on a single CR2032.
  • Lightweight durability – 1.93 oz at 2.03" length.
