Vortex Optics has cemented themselves as a huge player in the micro red dot market for platforms that vary from our handguns to shotguns and even rifles. A new craze that a lot of shooters are pursuing are enclosed emitter red dots (fully-houses and protected from the elements). Now, Vortex Optics is expanding into that realm as well with the announcement earlier in the month of Defender-ST and Defender-CCW enclosed emitter options. Today’s big announcement is yet another new offering with the unveiling of the Vortex Venom Enclosed Emitter micro red dot.
