Are These DeltaPoint Pro Bundles Worth It? You Bet They Are!

DeltaPoint Pro Bundle Overview and Co-Witness Limitations

The video opens by outlining several factory pistol bundles that pair Glock and Canik Rival handguns with Leupold DeltaPoint Pro red dots. Featured models include the Glock 19 Gen 5, 17, 34, 45, and both the standard and Dark Side versions of the Canik Rival. These pistols arrive already equipped with DeltaPoint Pro optics in 2.5 MOA, including a night vision compatible variant, and 6 MOA configurations. The host explains having extensive experience with optics from brands like Vortex and Trijicon but relatively limited time behind Leupold products, making these bundles a useful way to evaluate the DeltaPoint Pro across multiple platforms. A key early criticism is the lack of any co-witness capability. Because the DeltaPoint Pro is relatively thick and sits high on the slide, the installed setups do not allow the use of backup iron sights through the window. The optics are mounted before they arrive at Classic Firearms, and alternative base plates or lower mounting solutions have not yet been tested in this comparison-focused range session.

Red Dot Fundamentals and Glock 19 Setup

Attention shifts to live fire with a Glock 19 Gen 5 wearing a 6 MOA Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, identified as Katie’s pistol for an upcoming loadout series. Using this compact 9mm as a teaching tool, the host offers foundational advice for shooters new to pistol red dots. Emphasis is placed on slowing down, accepting the learning curve, and focusing on the dot rather than chasing speed too early. A common beginner issue—struggling to immediately find the dot in the window—is discussed, with the recommendation to build a consistent presentation and let the dot appear naturally. The DeltaPoint Pro’s large window and generous field of view are highlighted as advantages that make dot acquisition easier on the Glock 19. The pistol’s 15-round capacity and attached Inforce light are briefly noted, underscoring its role as a practical, compact setup that doubles as both a training platform for red dot fundamentals and a capable everyday defensive configuration.

MOA Choices on Glock 19, 45/19X, 17, and 34

The video then compares different MOA options of the DeltaPoint Pro across several Glock models. A Glock 45 or 19X fitted with a 2.5 MOA DeltaPoint Pro is praised for its excellent grip feel and the finer aiming point provided by the smaller dot, which favors precision at distance. In contrast, a Glock 17 equipped with a 6 MOA DeltaPoint Pro is positioned as a better match for a larger-framed pistol and closer, faster engagements, where a bigger dot is quicker to pick up. The host notes how dot size can be tailored to the gun’s role and the shooter’s priorities. Moving to the Glock 34, the DeltaPoint Pro turns the long-slide pistol into a competition-leaning setup. The extra slide and barrel length, combined with the gun’s added mass, reduce felt recoil and allow the shooter to track the red dot through the entire recoil cycle. Follow-up shots are timed as the dot settles back onto target, illustrating how the optic and platform work together for speed and control.

Glock 34, Canik Rival Comparisons, and Final DeltaPoint Pro Verdict

Later shooting impressions of the Glock 34 with the DeltaPoint Pro reinforce its smooth, competition-ready feel, with reduced felt recoil and easy dot tracking during rapid strings. The focus then shifts to the Canik Rival lineup. A Canik Rival in FDE with a 6 MOA DeltaPoint Pro is evaluated, drawing attention to its flat-faced trigger, short pull, and crisp reset, which support fast shooting. The unusual FDE color scheme is acknowledged but ultimately deemed acceptable given the performance. The Canik Rival Dark Side, outfitted with a 2.5 MOA DeltaPoint Pro, is compared directly, with the smaller dot offering increased precision and a similarly positive shooting experience. The video concludes with an overall endorsement of the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, citing its excellent field of view, robust protective outer housing, and pricing that sits below Trijicon RMR levels while still feeling premium. The factory-installed bundles on the Canik Rival and Rival Dark Side appear to be sighted in around 15 yards, and are recommended as strong value options for shooters wanting a ready-to-run pistol and optic package.
