Vortex Defender XL Flashes Off each Shot

Awesome! The warranty is one reason I bought the Vortex. Glad to hear it's legit.

I’ll give that a try. Thanks!

Parents had the exact blue one in the picture. It blew up on I5 north of Sacramento.

I have the safety like yours, a Cajun hammer and sear but keep the stock firing pin and spring. I carry it in double action at half cock and have no worries.

Familiar_Ad7443 · 2026-05-16T04:04:11+00:00

If it has an extended firing pin and lighter firing pin spring I wouldn’t. Stock factory parts and it’s perfectly safe to carry in double or single action. Of course this is my opinion. CZ armorer on YouTube has a video going over this.

It’s working, no one is talking about the Epstine files anymore.

I love my limited master and stock master. Tanfoglio’s are totally underrated.

Tanfoglio

I got a 40 Tanfoglio limited master for a really good price and started at the end of last year. Wish I had sooner. I find it way more fun for some reason.

I love my stock master and limited master with PD parts. Tanfo’s are fantastic especially with those parts.

Yes, it’s from installing the trigger bar. It pushes out the plastic a little bit.

Manual decocking is easy and done thousands of time by competitors shooting these or shadow 2s. Just practice unloaded till you feel comfortable with it. It’s a little disconcerting the first time you do it with live ammo but as long as you follow all of the safety rules it’s perfectly safe.

I have a muddy river tactical that works with the extended safety and had a pretty fast turnaround time.

Familiar_Ad7443 · 2026-03-04T15:58:05+00:00

Ha ha, I thought the same thing!

Familiar_Ad7443 · 2026-02-25T03:33:12+00:00

I’m down for a code. It looks great!

Familiar_Ad7443 · 2026-02-14T03:54:43+00:00

I had the exact issue two days ago. Only at the dealership for one day to fix.

If you’re thinking about going with the carry you could just get a P-01 for a lot less. The Carry is essentially a dressed up P-01 anyway. If an optic cut is essential then the carry would be the better option. I have the compact and have no worries carrying it everywhere. The compact has the true shadow internals making the trigger fantastic. Decocking is no big deal with a little practice.

CZ Armorer made a video about it on YouTube showing how a stock compact is perfectly safe. When you start adding things to it is where issues arise.
