Special Features

Oversized sight window and aspherical lens deliver a wide, distortion-free view that helps you track the 2 MOA dot through movement and rapid fire.

Motion activation with a timed auto-shutoff powers the dot on when the optic moves and turns it off after inactivity to extend battery life.

ShockShield polymer insert helps absorb impact and everyday abuse, protecting the optic during frequent training, matches, and transport.

Fast-Rack textured face lets you rack a pistol slide off belts, holsters, or barricades for one-handed manipulations without worrying about damaging the housing.

Button lockout prevents accidental brightness changes during movement or high-intensity stages, keeping your preferred setting consistent.

Top-mounted CR2032 battery compartment allows battery replacement without removing the optic from the slide or rail, preserving your zero.

DeltaPoint Pro footprint compatibility lets the Defender-XL DFXL-MRD2 mount to a wide range of optics-ready pistols and carbines, and the included mounts support easy rail installation.
