Happiness is a new gun 2

[dao]

Co-witnessing would be a good thing. On the guns that I have red dots on (all of which I have yet to shoot), it seems that in order to get the dot to line up with the factory iron sights that I have to bring the gun into an uncomfortable angle with the muzzle feeling like it's very low. I "zeroed" my dots with the use of a bore sight laser so I "think" they're right, but I can't be sure yet.
Anyone else find this phenomena to be true for them? Or am I just way off with my zero?

For me, presentation and practice are the key.
Bringing the gun up to your chest and driving it straight out acquiring the dot.
IMHO this is a good video -

Thank you.
Those are two gun tubers I feel I can trust.

I have the same issue, I’m looking for the front sight because that’s how I learned to shoot…..My son bought a Walther PDP 9 and put a nice expensive red dot on it and I have to say if I took my time and put the dot on target it was very accurate but for a SD pistol I would much rather not try finding a dot and just press out and look for a front sight at a middle mass target..….Guess I’m just old school……

That’s great, if you can still see a front sight.
I’m having issues with that.
See the front sight, or the target but not both. Red dot fixes that issue.

Unless you're going to do a lot of practice defensive shooting with the dot, pretty useless for defensive shooting. Target pistol, great, defensive pistol, not so much. Learn to point shoot.

Roll eyes.

Roll eyes.

Does it help??????????

[lesptr]

Not according to my wife.
But it makes me feel better.

I have red dots on my AR, Keltec sub2000, and as of a week ago Smith&Wesson FPC. There are 2 types of electronic devices, those that have failed and those that will. Flip up sights/ backup sights are a must. In the event that the world starts circling the drain the likely hood that you can find battery replacement's most likely will be nill.
