Main features of the Defender-CCW™ 3 MOA Tan

• Large aspheric lens: bright, sharp, and distortion-free view
• Motion activation with Auto-Shutoff: powers on with movement and turns off after 10 minutes to save battery life
• ShockShield™ insert: absorbs everyday bumps and impacts
• Night vision compatible: the lowest 2 brightness settings work with night vision

The Defender-CCW™ 3 MOA Tan is always ready when you are. Thanks to motion detection, the red dot stays primed for action — no manual switching required. After 10 minutes of inactivity, it automatically powers down to save energy, then instantly reactivates when you move. With up to 9,500 hours of battery life, you’ll stay operational for the long haul without constant replacements.

The large, clear-coated window keeps your focus sharp with zero reflections or distortion. With 10 brightness levels — including 2 for night vision — you easily adapt to any lighting condition, from blazing sunlight to total darkness. The 3 MOA dot offers pinpoint accuracy without blocking your view. Prefer a 6 MOA dot? You’ll find it among the Related Products.

Thanks to its Shield RMS footprint design, the Defender-CCW™ 3 MOA Tan fits perfectly on pistols built for RMS-compatible optics. Installation is quick and straightforward: mount it to your slide or optics plate, align the screw holes and recoil lugs, and use the included screws. Everything locks in securely for a rock-solid setup without wobble or risk.

This rugged construction stands up to the toughest conditions. The matte anodized finish resists corrosion, reduces glare, and keeps you discreet. Unlimited eye relief means you track moving targets with ease, while the parallax-free design ensures precise aim — even if you’re not perfectly centered behind the sight.

For the best performance, proper installation matters. Check your pistol’s manual to see if an additional mounting plate is needed. If so, use a compatible RMS plate as recommended by your firearm’s manufacturer for a stable and lasting fit.

The Defender-CCW™ 3 MOA Tan comes with everything you need: a mount for pistols with an RMS footprint and an extra Picatinny/Weaver rail mount. That way, you can easily attach it to almost any platform you use.
