Review: Reliable - Fits my M&P Shield M2.0 Metal Carry Comp with a plate. Had to get taller iron sights to cowitness. Had it for some years now. I would trust it with my life. Holds zero, nice and bright and battery last a long time. Still change it out every 6 months. Love that the battery compartment is not under the optic so easy to change and don't have to re-zero.
Review: SOLID Laser / Light - easy to use. - Had it mounting on my Glock 17 that was not MOS. It sighted in easly and 17 rounds at 7 yards in 2.5 inch group. Thus the entire target center is gone. Now placed on my Glock 47 MOS with same results. Also have it mounted on my Glock 43X and yes same results! I love this Red Dot would never buy anything else. For as long as the battery last replacing it isn't the fastest but i don't have to rezero it!! Shake awake is great and adjustable dot intensity is wonderful. Did i mention the life time warranty!

## Features

- A 3 MOA red dot built for modern everyday carry, the micro-sized Defender-CCW delivers maximum concealment, reliability, and the quickness you need. The slim profile means no extra bulk or width for a smoother, no-snag draw.
- Meant for those who prioritize personal protection, the Defender-CCW is a complete redesign from our current MRDS and lets you carry more discreetly. It will fit all Shield RMS and Shield RMSc footprints without any modification.

- Waterproof, shockproof and with ArmorTek coating protecting the lens, the Defender-CCW is ultra-durable. The ShockShield polymer insert absorbs everyday impacts and brings increased toughness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SOLID Laser / Light - easy to use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Direct mount red dot no floor plate needed
*by A***V on September 27, 2025*

I put this on a Glock 43X and fit directly without a mounting plate. The buttons are large to be able to manipulate with gloves on and the green dot is easier to see. Like with all red dots, max setting does give it the halo effect. I other high end red dots that do this too, so I wasn’t surprised when it did on max setting. Hangs off the slide a little but not a deal breaker. Had to turn up the brightness setting when shooting at the range and was sighted in after 3 volleys. It held zero after several drills. Approximately 200 rounds. I’ll update further after more trips to the range. Would recommend for the price and direct mounting feature. I can still use irons sights with this red dot and prefer this red dot over my 407k.
