Frequently Asked Questions

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

The Leupold Deltapoint Micro uniquely mounts directly into the rear sight dovetail of a Glock 19, eliminating the need for slide milling or special adapter plates, making installation straightforward for compatible firearms.

What is the advantage of the Deltapoint Micro's elongated window design?

The elongated window acts like a diopter or peep sight, which helps guide the shooter's eye to the center of the optic and the red dot more intuitively, potentially increasing target acquisition speed and accuracy.

Can I use my existing Glock 19 holster with the Deltapoint Micro?

Many standard holsters will work due to the optic's low profile. However, some duty holsters with retention hoods might require minor modifications because the Deltapoint Micro has a slight rearward protrusion.

How is the battery replaced on the Leupold Deltapoint Micro?

The battery (CR1632) is housed under a rear pad which also serves as the power button. This pad must be removed to access and replace the battery, a step necessary for field stripping the pistol.
