Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Leupold Deltapoint Micro mount onto a Glock 19?

The Deltapoint Micro uniquely mounts directly into the rear sight dovetail of a Glock 19 slide. This eliminates the need for custom slide milling or specialized mounting plates, making installation simpler for compatible firearms.

What is the 'diopter effect' of the Deltapoint Micro?

The optic's small, elongated window acts like a diopter or peep sight. This design encourages the shooter's eye to naturally center itself, making it easier and more intuitive to acquire the red dot compared to larger open-emitter sights.

Is the Leupold Deltapoint Micro compatible with standard holsters?

Generally, yes. Its low profile allows it to fit many standard holsters. However, some duty holsters with specific retention hoods might require minor modifications due to the optic's rear protrusion.

How is the battery accessed and what is the power switch mechanism?

The rear rubberized pad serves as both the battery cover and the power switch. To access the battery, you remove this pad. Importantly, this cover must be removed to field strip the pistol for cleaning.
