Leupold DeltaPoint Reflex Sight (All Mounts) 7.5 MOA Delta

I was prepared to love this device but I've had to curb my enthusiasm. I've got the 3.5 MOA dot model with a cross-slot mount on my Ruger MKIII.

First the good news:

- The sight is extremely light, but very solidly and robustly built.
- The lens is completely clear, none of that greenish or yellowish cast that some red dots have.
- It turns off by itself after five minutes of inactivity, but springs instantly to life when you pick it up.
- The intensity of the dot varies according to light conditions, though I have yet to notice much difference
- Settings are retained by a pair of set screws, so they presumably will not change due to recoil and handling.

Now the less good news:

- Elevation and windage are adjusted by turning tiny little screws (wrench provided.) The recesses are so shallow it's often difficult to tell when the wrench has purchase.
- There are no adjustment clicks. You have to eyeball...Read more

I'm retired law enforcement and was looking for a clearer sight picture than I am getting with std iron sights on my pistols. I chose Leupold for its known quality as I have Leupold optics on a sniper rifle and a CQ/T on a black rifle.

I ordered the 7.5 moa all mount sight to put on a Glock 35. I chose the 7.5 sight with the idea of using the top of the triangle (Greek sign for delta, hence the name)as a precise point of impact. The whole 7.5 MOA triangle would provide an easy to acquire rapid fire aim point.

Ordering from Amazon was easy and delivery was quick. The small package arrived with bases for several different kinds of semi autos, a S&W revolver base and a Pic rail base. Both the box and the instructions say that a CR2032 battery is included but it was not. No big deal, $5 buys a package of two at most grocery, hardware, or Radio Shacks.

There are 8 parts: 1) a dovetail base that fits into your slide; 2) a sight base which fits over...Read more

The Leupold DeltaPoint Reflex Sight was quickly and easily mounted on a Glock 19C, after the original rear site was nudged out with a sight removal tool. After 400 rounds, the DeltaPoint remains solidly affixed to the Glock, and my personal accuracy has notably improved. I sighted in the DeltaPoint by using a MAG Laser Boresighting system, and lined up the tip of the Delta with the laser dot. After firing the first 100 rounds, I found the sight to be spot on. There is a small learning curve for someone first using a DeltaPoint, or any reflex sight for that matter, and that is to hold the gun slightly higher to allow for a clear sight picture.
