Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my pistol?
It uses the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro footprint. Check that your slide is cut for DeltaPoint Pro or use the correct adapter plate for your pistol.
Why a 5 MOA dot?
A larger dot is faster to see and track during rapid shooting, which suits defensive and action shooting at typical pistol distances.
Is it too big for concealed carry?
It is best suited to full-size pistols and duty or competition guns. For compact carry pistols, consider the Defender-CCW.
