This guide demonstrates how to zero a pistol's red dot sight using a CVLife laser bore sighter. It emphasizes crucial firearm safety protocols before proceeding with the installation and adjustment process. The video shows how to align the red dot reticle with the laser's projected dot for accurate sight zeroing.

This guide details how to zero a pistol red dot sight, drawing on the expertise of the Honest Outlaw. It emphasizes establishing a practical zeroing distance, typically 10-25 yards, with a personal preference for 15 yards. The video demonstrates the effectiveness of this zero across various ranges, from close engagements to 85 yards, by successfully hitting steel targets. It also touches on the minimal bore offset for handguns compared to rifles and practical considerations like using steel targets in windy conditions.

This review of the Sig Sauer Romeo RS series, including the Compact and Pro models, details their steel-reinforced construction designed for enhanced durability over polymer counterparts. The video highlights their RMSC and Delta Point Pro footprints for broad pistol compatibility, Sig's Motac (Shakeawake) system for battery conservation, and a battery life exceeding 20,000 hours. While generally robust, a drop test revealed the larger Pro model's glass shattered, indicating limitations despite the reinforced housing. The review also touches on adjustment mechanisms and pricing.

Gun For Hire Range hosted an unprecedented 'Rapid Fire' event, offering members an unrestricted shooting experience. The event emphasized professionalism and high training standards among participants, showcasing various firearms including pistols with red dot sights, rifles with modern furniture and optics, and pump-action shotguns. Interested members are encouraged to visit the website or contact the range for future participation.

This video provides a comparative durability assessment of several popular pistol red dot sights, including Trijicon RCR and RMR, Holosun 507C X2 and EPS Carry, Primary Arms Classic Micro and GLX RS-15, and Vortex Optics Defender XL. Each optic, mounted on a Glock pistol, is subjected to a controlled drop test onto a rocky surface to simulate real-world stress and evaluate their resilience. The testing methodology emphasizes slow-motion replay to analyze the impact and subsequent functionality.

Ben Stoeger evaluates the Olight O-Sight C red dot sight, testing its performance in challenging lighting conditions and against potential durability issues. He notes the sight's brightness and lack of double-dotting in direct sunlight, and its ability to hold zero after a moderate number of rounds. The discussion also touches on the evolving perception of budget optics, drawing parallels to Holosun's trajectory.

This review of the Cyelee Bull X Pro pistol red dot sight highlights significant design and performance flaws. The optic is criticized for its excessive size, lack of drainage, inaccurate adjustments, dim reticle, and poor durability, failing under 800 rounds. The reviewer strongly advises against its purchase for any serious application.

This review covers the Dalbonau TYTO-R and TYTO-G, budget-friendly full-size pistol red dot sights. The video highlights their impressive features for the price, including a large viewing window, RMR footprint compatibility, side-load battery, shake-awake technology, and integrated rear sights. Both red and green dot versions are discussed, with a focus on value and performance for under $100 with a discount code.

This guide explains how optic zero distance affects point of impact at closer ranges. Instructor from MuzzleBroke demonstrates how a zero set for 15 yards can cause shots to hit low at 7 yards due to bullet trajectory. It advises shooters to consider their optic's zero before attributing misses to lack of skill.

This review covers the O-Sight K, an RMSC footprint red dot sight with a 6 MOA dot, ideal for compact and subcompact pistols. The video demonstrates its installation, zeroing process on a Shield Plus in 30 Super Carry, and performance on steel targets. Key features highlighted include a side battery tray, shake-awake functionality, and built-in co-witness sights, with positive remarks on its daytime brightness and crisp dot clarity, even for those with astigmatism.

This review covers the Osite C RMR footprint pistol red dot sight, highlighting its multi-reticle options (3 MOA dot, 32 MOA circle, or both). The video details the mounting process on a Glock 17 clone, the zeroing procedure with audible clicks, and its performance in various lighting conditions. It also discusses features like the side battery tray and shake-awake functionality.

This guide details techniques for maintaining consistent firearm presentation when training with restrictive gear like gas masks or night vision devices (NODs). It emphasizes adapting focus for optics with limited fields of view, drawing on insights from DJ Shipley of GBRS Group. The core principle is that physical presentation mechanics should remain unchanged across different training scenarios.
