Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Leupold Deltapoint Micro differ from other red dot sights like the Trijicon RMR?

The Deltapoint Micro is unique as it mounts directly into the rear sight dovetail of compatible Glocks, eliminating the need for slide milling. This results in a lower profile and simpler installation compared to optics like the RMR, which typically require a custom slide cut.

What tools are needed to install the Leupold Deltapoint Micro on a Glock?

Installation requires a universal rear sight pusher tool to remove the factory rear sight. You will also need a Torx screwdriver and Loctite for securing the optic itself to its dovetail mount on the slide.

Can I install a red dot sight without milling my Glock's slide?

Yes, the Leupold Deltapoint Micro is specifically designed to mount directly into the rear sight dovetail on many Glock models, offering a slide-milling-free installation option. GlockStore also offers slide milling services.

What is the benefit of the Deltapoint Micro's low mounting height?

Mounting the Deltapoint Micro directly into the dovetail creates a very low bore axis. This can enhance the firearm's pointability, making it quicker to acquire the dot during the draw and presentation process.
