How to use the Vortex Defender-CCW 3 MOA

The Defender-CCW 3 MOA fits pistols that use an RMS footprint. It also ships with an adapter for Picatinny/Weaver rails to give you flexible mounting options. Correct mounting is key to reliable performance. Installation is straightforward, but do it carefully.

• It uses the same screw spacing and footprint as the RMS system, so it’s compatible with most RMS-ready pistols.
• Check your firearm’s manual to see if you need an adapter plate. If you do, follow the plate or firearm maker’s instructions when installing it.
• Place the green dot on the slide or mounting plate, lining up the screw holes and the recoil lug correctly.
• Make sure the optic sits flat, then use the appropriate screws from the supplied kit to secure it firmly.
