The Defender-XL 5 MOA mounts easily with the included adapter on any pistol with an RMS footprint. The Picatinny/Weaver mount completes this versatile setup. Proper mounting is key to peak performance. With screw spacing and footprint identical to RMS, it fits perfectly on many pistols. Check your pistol’s manual to see if extra plates are needed and install them following factory instructions.

Place the red dot firmly on the slide or plate, making sure screw holes and notches line up perfectly. Choose the correct screw size from the selection in your box, specially designed for a secure and precise fit.

With twelve brightness levels, including two for night vision, the Defender-XL™ always offers the right view. No matter your position or light conditions, you’ll find targets easier to spot and track. This 5 MOA version is an essential companion for every shooting session. For those seeking more options, there’s also an 8 MOA version available among the accessories.
