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

Do you prefer this or the st

We should also remember Vortex’s awesome product warranty as well.
Sean Sheridan
That would be perfect I look forward to it!

For my 6000 series Safariland for a Glock 34 the XL will not fit.

Very 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.

I’m not doing ballistics testing anymore. Too much of a pain in the ass but I’m more than happy to shoot for performance.

Great video, In the future can you take a look at the aac she'll shock 5.56? It's peaking my curiosity

I 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.

I'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

Good 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.

Good video but will wait till they introduce a green dot option with a smaller dot size!

Side 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?
