The video focuses on Leupold DeltaPoint Pro pistol optics rather than the pistols themselves. Several Glock and Canik SFx Rival 9mm pistols are shown, including Glock 19 Gen 5, Glock 17 Gen 5, Glock 45, Glock 34, and two Canik Rival variants. These pistols are offered with DeltaPoint Pro red dots in both 2.5 MOA and 6 MOA configurations. The 2.5 MOA model is also available with night vision compatibility. The optics arrive pre-installed from the seller, and no alternative base plates have been tested in this segment. The DeltaPoint Pro sits relatively high on the slides, preventing any meaningful iron sight co-witness on these setups. The video aims to get practical time behind the Leupold optics, comparing them to other pistol red dots previously used, such as Vortex and Trijicon models.
The Glock 19 Gen 5 is shown with a 6 MOA Leupold DeltaPoint Pro installed, along with an Inforce weapon light. This particular pistol is part of an upcoming loadout series and is configured as a compact 9mm with a 15-round capacity. Initial shooting is done at roughly 10 to 15 yards, with some misses as the shooter adjusts to the red dot. The discussion notes that red dot pistol shooting requires practice, especially when trying to pick up the dot quickly under speed. The large window and generous field of view on the DeltaPoint Pro make it easier to find the dot once the shooter’s presentation is consistent. The Glock 19 is described as compact but still relatively large compared to many modern concealed carry pistols, yet it benefits from the combination of light and optic.
Attention shifts to the Glock 45, which is described as very similar to a Glock 19 but with a full-size frame that accepts 17-round magazines, forward slide serrations, and a grip that feels particularly good in hand. This pistol is equipped with a 2.5 MOA DeltaPoint Pro. During a string of fire, all 17 rounds initially land on target, followed by a couple of misses on a subsequent magazine. The smaller 2.5 MOA dot is preferred for its finer aiming point and perceived precision, especially on pistols. The video acknowledges that some shooters may favor a larger dot, such as 6 MOA, for closer-range carry use where rapid acquisition is prioritized. The segment emphasizes that dot size preference is personal and that consistent practice is more important than any specific configuration.
The Glock 17 Gen 5 is shown with a 6 MOA DeltaPoint Pro. After shooting the Glock 19 and Glock 45, the slightly longer barrel and full-size frame of the 17 make it feel like a larger pistol. The 6 MOA dot is presented as a reasonable match for a full-size gun, offering quick visual feedback on steel targets. The Glock 34, a longer-barreled, competition-oriented model that still uses 17-round magazines, is then highlighted as a platform where the DeltaPoint Pro particularly shines. Shooting the 34 demonstrates how the red dot moves under recoil, with the dot tracking up and then dropping back onto target. The explanation compares this to traditional iron sights, where the shooter waits for the front sight to settle into the rear notch. With the red dot, the shooter instead learns to time shots as the dot returns to the target, aided by the Glock 34’s extra mass and smoother recoil impulse.
The Canik SFx Rival pistols are introduced as alternatives to the Glocks. Canik is noted for generally lower cost, additional features, and strong triggers. The Rival shown first has a flat-faced trigger with a short pull and decent reset, and it is equipped with a flat dark earth (FDE) 6 MOA DeltaPoint Pro. The color scheme is described as busy but not objectionable. Shooting impressions highlight the quality of the Rival’s trigger and overall feel. The Rival Dark Side variant is then demonstrated with a 2.5 MOA DeltaPoint Pro, which provides a finer dot and more precise aiming. After a few deliberate shots, a full magazine is run quickly to showcase how the pistol and optic combination handles under faster fire. The segment concludes that the Canik Rival platforms pair well with the DeltaPoint Pro, delivering a satisfying shooting experience.
The closing segment summarizes the day’s experience with the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro across Glock and Canik platforms. The optic is described as having an excellent field of view and a protective outer housing around the lens. Previous exposure to the DeltaPoint Pro on a SCAR 16 rifle is mentioned, with positive impressions carried over to pistol use. The optic is acknowledged as relatively expensive but still less costly than some alternatives, such as the Trijicon RMR and other premium red dots. The pistols in the lineup arrive with the DeltaPoint Pro already installed and appear to be roughly sighted in at about 15 yards from the factory. Viewers are encouraged to consider their preferred MOA size and to share what optics they currently use if not the DeltaPoint Pro. The video notes that multiple Glock Gen 5 models and both Canik Rival variants are available with these factory-mounted Leupold optics.
