Glock G40 with Leupold Delta Point Pro

G40MOSHunter · June 15 2016 10:05:14 PM MDT

I picked up a new Glock G40 and mounted a Delta Point Pro. It's kind of a beast, and I'm totally happy with it. I had loaded up 500 rounds (300 hollow points and 200 solids) both 180 grain Rainier copper plated bullets for my G20 (which is for sale now). They cycle perfectly in the G40. Speer says with 9.5 grains of AA#5 I should be getting 1120 fps. There a little on the light side, but I'll work on that. With the Red Dot, I was able to keep all three magazines on a 12 inch metal plate at 25 yards. Did I mention I'm totally happy with this setup. I have to work on co-witness sights... ${$default_grin_smiley}$

Have you shot any full power factory loads thru it yet? I am wondering how it compares to a Glock 20 gen 4.

Nice timing... I am heading to kittery trading post with a stack of cash this morning, wondering if I really need a 3rd glock.
I could afford a ff3 and a g40 or about 10 other guns I have my eye on. For those of you who don't know about kittery trading post, consider yourself lucky... Russ

How much did that delta point run you? Also, are co witness sights that important for it? I may just buy some cheap non tritium suppressor sights for mine for the day I can actually afford an optic for mine.

I have a Trijicon rmr on my G40 and went with Dawson Precision fiber optic sights to co-witness the rmr. It's a great combination.

The Delta Point Pro wasn't cheap. IIRC, $585 from Optics Planet 3 or 4 months ago. I've been a Leopold fan for a while so I got it sight unseen. I'm not at all disappointed. I also brought the additional rear iron sight, but haven't put it on yet. I also got a suppressor height front sight, it's to low. I need the MOS height front sight. The co witnessed sights are not necessary, but they help "find" the Red Dot quickly.

Sounds like a very cool set up.

One of my co-workers just put the same Leupold on his G40. He too is looking for co-witnessing sights to make it easier to find the dot. I had a Trijicon RM06 on my G20 and finding the dot takes some getting used to. I sold the G20 and am running my G40 with Dawson Precision Fiber Optic Front sight and adjustable rear. I'm not sold on red dots for the G40 just yet. Please keep us updated on how you like your setup and how it performs.
