❓ FAQ
Will this fit my Glock 43X MOS?
Yes. The Defender CCW mounts directly to the Glock 43X and 48 MOS without an adapter plate.
3 MOA vs 6 MOA – what’s the difference?
3 MOA gives finer precision for longer shots. 6 MOA offers faster dot acquisition at close range—ideal for defensive scenarios.
Is it waterproof and drop resistant?
Yes. It’s fully sealed and includes a ShockShield polymer insert that absorbs shock and protects internals from hard drops.
Do I need to buy mounting hardware separately?
No. The sight comes with all necessary screws, a battery, and mounting tool.
Can I use it on rifles or shotguns?
Absolutely. It’s great as a low-profile offset optic or for pistol-caliber carbines.
