Would like to know your thoughts on a defender xl, sro, and 507 comp comparison.

2024-09-14 12:05:58 +0000 UTCVery encouraging. Lot of hype on this bad boy, good to see its finally justified. I had a vortex sponsorship back in 2015/16 and tried all their pistol dots...and broke enough of them to fill a shoe box. Glad to see they've finally evolved into something that can really contend with the SRO and the 507comp.

2024-09-14 06:09:09 +0000 UTCI’m not doing ballistics testing anymore. Too much of a pain in the ass but I’m more than happy to shoot for performance.

2024-09-14 03:07:36 +0000 UTCI like my Defender ST, however after 3 months on higher settings, I replaced the dead battery. After installing the new battery the dot flickers if I tap the optic, and shuts off momentarily when I dry fire. Which is suboptimal because it's on my carry gun.

2024-09-14 02:55:05 +0000 UTCI've already started bugging them about making it in green. Maybe if you mention it they'll take it seriously lol. Another affirmation for this dot. Thanks Aaron

2024-09-14 02:12:03 +0000 UTCGood review as always. I picked up a Defender ST based on your review of that optic. The only negative I have on the ST, and I bring this up because you mention it might happen in this review, is that I have bumped the brightness controls on my Safariland 6000 series holster. Not the end of the world as I can lock the brightness. Unfortunately, locking out the buttons also disables the motion activation/auto shut off.

2024-09-14 02:08:59 +0000 UTCGood video but will wait till they introduce a green dot option with a smaller dot size!

2024-09-14 00:55:38 +0000 UTCSide bar and I know you don't like choices because you can have both but I always wonder if you could only have one type of pistol what would it be. Striker fired or hammer fired?
