Elevate Your Glock's Performance: The Essential Leupold DeltaPoint Pro Dovetail Mount

Are you looking to significantly enhance your Glock pistol's accuracy, speed, and overall effectiveness? Many modern shooters recognize the game-changing benefits of integrating a high-quality red dot sight onto their handgun. For Glock owners aiming to utilize the acclaimed Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, the crucial first step is securing a reliable, precisely engineered mounting solution. This is where the Leupold 170906 DeltaPoint Pro Dovetail Mount becomes an indispensable accessory.

This meticulously crafted mount is designed to solve a fundamental challenge for pistol enthusiasts and professionals alike: how to seamlessly integrate an advanced optical sight like the DeltaPoint Pro onto the ubiquitous Glock platform. Whether you're a competitive shooter striving for faster splits and more accurate groups, a law enforcement officer needing rapid target acquisition in critical situations, or a dedicated enthusiast looking to upgrade your home defense or range setup, this mount provides the foundational stability required for optimal performance.

Why a Red Dot Sight on Your Glock?

Before diving deeper into the mount itself, it's worth understanding the profound impact a red dot sight has on handgun shooting. Traditional iron sights, while effective, rely on aligning three focal planes (rear sight, front sight, target), which can be slow and challenging, especially under pressure or in low light. A red dot sight, however, presents a single, illuminated aiming point directly on your target, allowing for:

• Faster Target Acquisition: Your eye naturally focuses on the red dot and the target, eliminating the need to align multiple components. This translates to quicker, more intuitive aiming.
• Improved Accuracy: The single aiming point reduces parallax errors and allows for more precise shot placement, particularly at extended distances.
• Enhanced Situational Awareness: Because you're focusing on the target with the red dot superimposed, your peripheral vision remains unobstructed, improving your ability to observe your surroundings.
• Easier for Shooters with Vision Challenges: For individuals experiencing presbyopia or other vision issues that make traditional iron sights blurry, a red dot often provides a clear, crisp aiming solution.
• Performance in Varied Lighting: The illuminated reticle remains visible in bright daylight, low light, and even darkness, unlike traditional sights that can disappear in challenging conditions.

For these reasons, equipping your Glock with a red dot sight like the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro is not just an upgrade; it's a transformation of your shooting experience.

The Leupold 170906 DeltaPoint Pro Dovetail Mount: A Foundation of Precision

The Leupold 170906 DeltaPoint Pro Dovetail Mount is not merely an adapter; it's a precision-engineered component vital for unlocking the full potential of your Glock and DeltaPoint Pro combination. Understanding its features and benefits is key to appreciating its value.

Engineered for Uncompromising Reliability:

One of the most critical aspects of any firearm accessory is its build quality. This Leupold mount is crafted from machined steel, a material chosen for its exceptional strength, rigidity, and long-term durability. Unlike lesser materials that might flex or deform under recoil, steel ensures a rock-solid platform for your expensive optic. This robust construction means your zero will hold, shot after shot, even through thousands of rounds and demanding use. The Matte Black finish further enhances its resilience, offering resistance to corrosion, glare, and wear from handling and environmental exposure.

Seamless Compatibility with Glock Pistols:

This specific mount is meticulously designed to interface directly with the Glock dovetail slot, which is typically found where the rear iron sight would be. This design ensures a perfect, secure fit without any modifications to your firearm's slide. The "Compatible with Glock" designation is critical, as pistol slides vary significantly between manufacturers and models. Leupold’s precise machining guarantees that the 170906 mount will fit your Glock with the tight tolerances necessary for an optic to function optimally. This direct fit simplifies installation and removes any guesswork.

Purpose-Built for the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro:

While there are many red dot sights on the market, this mount is explicitly engineered for the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro. This specific pairing is crucial because red dot footprints (the pattern of mounting holes on the bottom of the optic) vary. By designing the mount solely for the DeltaPoint Pro, Leupold ensures perfect alignment of the optic to the mount and, subsequently, to the pistol. This synergy between the optic and its dedicated mount provides the most secure and precise attachment possible, minimizing any potential movement or shift that could compromise accuracy.

All-Inclusive Mounting Hardware:

The convenience of "Includes Mounting Hardware" cannot be overstated. This mount comes complete with two sets of screws:

1. Screws for mounting the plate to the firearm: These are designed to secure the dovetail mount firmly into the Glock's rear sight slot.
2. Extra screws to mount the DeltaPoint Pro to the plate: These specialized screws are precisely sized to attach your Leupold DeltaPoint Pro red dot sight to the mount itself.

Having all necessary hardware included means you won't be scrambling for specific screws or adapters, allowing for a straightforward and efficient installation process right out of the box. This attention to detail reflects Leupold's commitment to user-friendly products.

Proudly Made in the USA:

The "Made in the USA" stamp is more than just a label; it signifies a commitment to high manufacturing standards, quality control, and supporting domestic industries. For a critical component like a firearm mount, knowing it's produced under rigorous American quality guidelines provides an added layer of confidence in its performance and durability. This ensures that the materials, machining processes, and finishing meet the exacting standards expected from a premium brand like Leupold.

Who Benefits Most from This Mount?

This Leupold DeltaPoint Pro Dovetail Mount (UPC 030317011130) is an ideal solution for a diverse range of Glock users:

• Competitive Shooters: In disciplines like USPSA, IDPA, and 3-Gun, milliseconds and precise shot placement count. A red dot mount that holds zero reliably is non-negotiable for competitive advantage.
• Tactical Professionals: Law enforcement officers and military personnel who rely on their sidearms for duty require the utmost reliability and quick target acquisition. This robust mount ensures the DeltaPoint Pro is ready when they are.
• Home Defense Enthusiasts: For those prioritizing effective home defense, the speed and accuracy benefits of a red dot-equipped Glock, secured by a dependable mount, can be invaluable.
• Hunters (where handgun hunting is permitted): For precision shots on game, the improved accuracy offered by a red dot mounted on a sturdy platform can make a significant difference.
• General Range Shooters and Enthusiasts: Anyone looking to extract maximum performance from their Glock, improve their shooting skills, or simply enjoy a more modern shooting experience will find this mount an essential upgrade.

Installation and Optimization Considerations

While the Leupold 170906 mount is designed for ease of installation, achieving optimal performance often involves a few considerations:

• Professional Installation Recommended: While many DIY enthusiasts can manage the installation, having a gunsmith or experienced armorer install the mount and optic ensures proper alignment, torque, and use of any necessary thread lockers (like Loctite). Incorrect installation can lead to a loose optic, loss of zero, or even damage.
• Zeroing Your Optic: Once the mount and DeltaPoint Pro are installed, proper zeroing is crucial. This involves adjusting the optic's windage and elevation to ensure your point of aim matches your point of impact at your preferred distance.
• Co-Witnessing (Optional): Some shooters prefer to use suppressor-height iron sights that allow for a "co-witness" with the red dot. This means the iron sights are visible through the optic's window, providing a backup aiming system in case of optic failure. While not always possible with all dovetail mounts due to their low-profile nature, it's a consideration for some setups.
