I'm thinking either the Vortex Defender ST or the CCW partly because of the lifetime warrantee. Any comments? It will be my primary carry.

It may not be relevant, but I'm not familiar with that pistol. What brand is it?
The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see.

I dont think you can fit the Defender ST on it. It looks like it cut precisely for the RMSc footprint optic. While the DPP shares the same mounting screws location specification, it's phystical footprint is larger (also larger recoil boss dimeter) and won't fit into the pocket. So that would leave your option with the CCW. Now open or enclosed is another discussion. I would go for enclosed as it'll keep dead skin and lint out way better.

Thanks.

I don't like the look of those scalloped serrations, but I'm imagining that they might work really well.

I just put a Defender CCW Enclosed on one of my P365s and I'm pleased with it so far. I've found I prefer the bigger 32 moa circle on carry guns. Its RMSC footprint and I would assume would be the perfect size for your Kimber.
