Just bought the XL last week for 199$ from Scheels. I’ve wanted to go SRO previously but held off due to the breakage issues quite a few reviews have mentioned. The XL seemed more purpose built for duty but large enough for comp which I wanted. I’ve watched a few torture tests of the XL and it never flinched. Great optic so far!
I just bought one too. It's technically the COMPDOT, not the DEFENDER XL. Minor cosmetic differences but identical to the XL. Still a great price for a red dot.
Great job! I recently picked up a few defender ccw in 3 moa and one XL in 5 moa and i absolutely loved them. When i put them against my gen 1 and 2 Swampfox and Holosun, they had more clarify, didnt starburst etc. I'm definitely a fan of them and will scoop more up when I find sales.
Hey buddy I love your HC carry belt...it is a game-changer. I missed the big Sectionals match last month in New Mexico (health issue) where my friend won a "regular" sized HC belt. He gave it to me and I haven't used another belt of any type since then.
Your astigmatism is why the bigger dot is crisper. Same thing for me which is why I'm probably gonna be outfitting my future pistols with the defenders instead of Holosuns.
Solid video shred away gents! Vortex put out a banger with the XL/compdot (guessing the ST and ccw are good as well need to pick some up) especially since street price is same or lower than 507comp and way under the SRO price.
The Defender is certainly a bussing optic. I was gooning until I saw the clarity of the glass, the fuck? I looked at my SRO and said, "This is some uncle status". Now I've decided to put the fries in the bag and order my own Defender XL, Ohio.
Have a 5moa xl on my comp carry IMHO better clarity and less tint than others I was looking at Calculated kinetics plate ordered since they just came out with them :)
Been sporting the HC/M&P belt for a few weeks now. Awesome set up. Works best with an M&P but I am sure it works on glocks as well. Best edc belt so fat. Belt.
Unfortunately all my pistol are milled/ made for RMR footprint Definitely want one of these if Vortex will finally make something using the RMR footprint
23:03 - This means something entirely different in the states of Hawaii, New Mexico, West Virginia, and Wyoming 😬🤢😂 West Virginians right now: Fortunate_Son.mp3
@hunter-constantine Is that video already out? Does it have a title so I can find it? Your 600-800 round practices are a little too rich for my ammo budget as much as I'd love to work that hard.
Oh so the belt goes both ways like my gun. Some days it likes to shoot great on target beast mode other days I couldn’t hit a semi truck even if I didn’t try it decided to be in kitty cat mode.
Rewatching in slow mo to figure out what you said about garand thumb👀 great video great content. Shooting my first match this weekend from concealment wearing one of your BELLLLTS and a T1C holster. Pretty excited
I’ve struggled to find a red dot that has a crisp circle without starbursts shapes cuz of my astigmatism. My mecanik MO2 dot shows up the best out of my 407c and other dots which is crazy but Maybe the defender XL will look better….The 5 MOA dot is what worries me cuz I’ve noticed the bigger the dot the worse they starburst to my eyes.
T. rex just dropped HF calculator in their Range Day app…. So we don’t have to watch your epic math skillz align with your epic spelling skillz #bbbeeellllttttt Also…. Lemme get that hat 😆
Scammer telling me I won a belt and a g45 mos in your comments. Using your call sign. I knew it was a scammer when they didn’t say beelltttttt. Clean this mess up please
I doubt a pro shooter would or even would even think think about trying the Osight. They gotta get attention first and that external charger isn’t doing that.. I like the flashlights but they have a ways to go. 😊
I'm a recently arrived from Kazakhstan looking for Белдіктер! and I dont ah understand this unusual American behavior. Why you guys shooting at unarmed paper card board, then you running away from them, then you change you minds and you run at these paper boards again shooting and shooting ...and shooting...then you hide behind transparent "walls" and plastic milk jugs...Бұл мінез қалыпты емес..
There’s nothing like a pro getting sweaty to talk about edging with his “shooting” student.
Now were talking
The ass smack had more recoil than the carry comp😂

Mine have been good to go for 10k rounds combined
I did the same thing that's a crazy price
I bought 5 of them (CCW/ST/XL). Love them. Great price as well.

@@tongan_gunner I just looked it up. Had no idea they had this model. What’s the difference?
Just bought an XL for 199
Scheels for the win! Load up boys!!! BELT!
@@LVbibbydamn I miss scheels. Moved from Omaha to Ohio this year for work and the closest one is 5 hours away.
You actually just bought a CompDot for 199. Similar to the XL
@@MichaelMaduskethat’s the one I bought of scheels. I thought it is the same exact thing? Says xl defender comp?
Same!! Snagged 2 to go with the XL and ST I already have. These new Vortex dots are the tits.

In addition to working without belt loops the BELT works just as well with no pants at all for those of you wondering.

THEY ARE BEATING OFF THE MARKET
@@hunter-constantine Xtra large edging to beat off the competition yeah buddy!
Not sure why the metal carry comp is popular. The m2.0 ported 4.25 PC is a softer shooter and an overall more enjoyable shooting experience.
4.25 PARENTAL CONTROL?????
That glitch transition in that intro was slick

Looking forward to the indoor range training video. Don’t have the benefit of having access to a competition range in my area

my vortex defender xl came zeroed out of the box, my co workers shoot high and right with it some reason. we are all right handed

This was $199.99 at scheels for Black Friday
No it wasn’t.
I’m a huge fan of the shirt dress, as most of us are in public

Carry comp is my favorite pistol right now. In LOVE
9:18 insert "you're a jerk" song

Definitely want one of these if Vortex will finally make something using the RMR footprint
Sounds like a good excuse to get a new gun

Saggy and baggy equal great draw from conceal.
I thought you were going to show us how to train with only one target so we could train better at an indoor range.
That’s another video!

Defenders are my new favorite red dots. Only sad thing is they used an DPP footprint and not an RMR as most of my pistols are milled for RMRs
