I recently picked up a Glock 40 MOS and trying to decide what optic to buy for it. It will be used for range and possibly hunting. I am leaning towards a DeltaPoint or trijicon rmr. Any suggestions or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I like the Leupold DeltaPoint. Battery can be replaced without removing the optic and so no need to re-sight.
Not on a G40, but I really like the Shield RMS. No buttons or controls, the light level sensor seems to work really well, and battery life measured in years. Battery can be replaced without removing the sight from the slide.

If you can live with less expensive the Burris Fastfire III has worked great on my G40 and G20. Used price $175 or less and new around $210. I own 5 of them and they have never needed fixing. Get the 3 MOA model. Burris has fabulous customer service if you ever need them.
I don't have enough experience with various red dot sights to say which is the best or even the top five. However, I have a Vortex Venom 3MOA on a G40 and have been very pleased with it.
I have had the Vortex Venom for almost two years and it is still on the initial battery. The battery can be replaced without removing the sight, so no re-sighting in. I have shot extreme loads in 10mm, like 220gr @ 1300+ fps, and the Venom held zero. I like the 3MOA dot because it is still very visible and offers more precision at 50+ yds ... hunting distances. However, the auto-sensor for light levels can be an issue on any red dot. Shooting inside a dark blind at a target in bright sunlight the red dot almost vanishes. The Venom allows turning on the red dot WITHOUT the auto light sensor function ... me like!
It is waterproof, a HUGE factor for a 'hunting' sight ... freezing temps, rain, sleet, snow aren't an issue if you can keep the lens clear... plus anti-glare for low light and shooting into the rising sun.
Vortex customer service is great ... I needed the special mounting screws, no problem, fast ship, no cost ... I lost the lens cover, no problem, fast ship, no cost.
