VORTEX ENCLOSED LINEUP!!!!

This review assesses Vortex's updated Defender series of enclosed red dot sights, including the ST, CCW, and the budget-friendly Venom Enclosed, alongside the unique Viper SG for shotguns. The video highlights improvements over earlier models, such as better refresh rates and auto-off timers, while also pointing out lingering issues like deck height and footprint limitations compared to competitors like Holosun. The Viper SG is noted for its specialized shotgun mounting solution.

The video argues that the Trijicon RMR is 'mid' compared to newer optics, citing significant parallax error at 25 yards. It highlights the Osite SE and Vortex Defender ST as superior alternatives with much less parallax shift, even on budget options. The speaker suggests the RMR's reputation for durability is comparable to older, less advanced vehicles.

This review compares the new Vortex Venom enclosed emitter red dot sight to the Vortex Defender ST. The reviewer highlights the Venom's simpler design, preferring its single 3 MOA dot reticle and top-mounted buttons over the Defender's multi-reticle options and side buttons. While the Defender has solar capabilities, the reviewer finds the Venom's feature set more appealing for personal preference and potential cost-effectiveness.

This video reviews Vortex's new Defender CCW and ST enclosed emitter red dot sights. The presenter highlights their robust build, large battery life (CR2032), and impressive brightness, noting they remain usable even at lower settings in bright conditions. Key features include auto on/off, multiple reticle options, and a generous window size, especially on the ST model, which is compared favorably to other optics.

The Vortex Defender series offers three red dot optic sizes (CCW, ST, XL) designed for various firearms, from subcompacts to competition pistols. Key features include soft-touch buttons, an incremental 1 MOA adjustment scale, and durable, waterproof construction. The series emphasizes user-friendly operation and reliable performance for diverse shooting applications.

This video reviews the Vortex Defender Series of pistol optics, including the XL, ST, and CCW models. The presenter highlights their shared features like Picatinny rail mounts, aggressive stippling for racking, top-mounted batteries, and included mounting plates for Glock MOS systems. The review emphasizes the convenience of included hardware for various pistol platforms.

This guide details how to properly zero a red dot sight on a 9mm handgun, based on expert instruction. It emphasizes understanding mechanical offset and ballistic trajectory. The video advises against zeroing at very close distances like 5 yards, recommending a 15-yard zero for 9mm handguns as it provides a more predictable point of impact at common engagement distances, typically around 50 yards.

This guide details the unique top-loading process for the Kel-Tec P50 pistol using stripper clips, as demonstrated by Shortshot Tony. It covers loading 20 rounds of 5.7x28mm ammunition and highlights the firearm's exceptionally lightweight design and minimal recoil during firing, offering a practical overview for potential users.

This video from SHORTSHOT TONY provides practical advice on defensive target selection, emphasizing aiming for the pelvic girdle rather than the head or center mass when facing threats potentially wearing body armor. The instructor, identified as a firearms enthusiast with practical shooting experience, humorously but directly explains the tactical advantage of targeting the pelvis to immobilize an opponent. The demonstration utilizes a 2011-style pistol equipped with a red dot optic.

SHORTSHOT TONY, an experienced tactical content creator, explains the proper use of red dot sights and iron sights. He emphasizes that co-witnessing is for backup purposes, not simultaneous aiming, and that red dots are parallax-free. Tony advises against aligning the red dot with irons for every shot, suggesting it's a misuse of the optic's capabilities and potentially a waste of money if not utilized correctly.
