Dots in the three m.o.a. class have been more or less standard on reflex sights for a while, but as red dots are now commonplace on defensive pistols, it only makes sense we’re starting to see some bigger dots. Case in point: Leupold recently came out with a six m.o.a. dot version of its well-respected DeltaPoint Pro.

It’s available in black or flat dark earth, and it’s a robust sight thanks to its aluminum body. The DiamondCoat aspheric lens resists scratches and provides good clarity.

The sight has eight brightness settings. Cycle through them by pressing the power button. The dot flashes when either limit is reached, and it then reverses illumination intensity on subsequent presses.

The sight is powered by a 2032 battery, with the battery compartment behind the lens. My older DeltaPoint Pro has a sliding latch that I found hard to work. This new one has small latch button you press with something like the tip of a pen, popping open the lid. It’s a big improvement.

Motion Sensor Technology

The DeltaPoint Pro has Motion Sensor Technology that shuts off the sight after it’s been motionless for five minutes and then automatically turns it on when it senses movement.

One thing I love about the DeltaPoint Pro is that the windage and elevation adjustments aren’t teeny, tiny screws requiring a special tool. They’re large and can be turned with a coin.

Now, about the new dot. A six m.o.a. dot is of course twice as large as a three m.o.a. dot, and at least for me it’s a ton faster in drills—without sacrificing anything in the accuracy department because it covers only 1.5 inches at 25 yards and less than an inch at 15. Not only is the bigger dot much easier to see, with smaller dots I find myself trying to be too precise, slowing me down.

This new six m.o.a. dot option makes a great sight even more effective, and I think a lot of shooters will agree.
