This video demonstrates the essential process of sighting in a red dot optic on a Glock handgun using a Tactical Elite bore sighter. It emphasizes safety by showing a clear firearm before use and explains how to align the red dot with the bore sighter's laser for a preliminary zero. The process is then validated with live fire at an outdoor range, highlighting the importance of proper zeroing for accuracy.

Quick Summary

To sight in a red dot optic, first ensure your firearm is safe and unloaded. Insert a bore sighter into the muzzle to project a laser reference. Look through your optic and align the red dot with the laser dot by adjusting the optic's turrets. Finally, confirm your zero with live fire at the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first step before using a bore sighter on a firearm?

Before using any accessory like a bore sighter, the absolute first step is to ensure the firearm is completely safe. This means visually and physically confirming that the chamber is empty and the magazine well is clear of any ammunition.

How does a bore sighter help in sighting in a red dot optic?

A bore sighter projects a laser (in this case, green) from the firearm's muzzle, creating a precise reference point. You then look through your red dot optic and adjust the optic's internal turrets until the red dot aligns with the laser dot, establishing a preliminary zero.

Is sighting in with a bore sighter enough, or is live fire needed?

While a bore sighter gets you very close to zero, it's essential to confirm and fine-tune the sight picture with live fire at the range. This ensures accuracy under actual shooting conditions and accounts for any minor variations.

What firearm and accessories are shown in the video for sighting in?

The video features a customized Glock handgun, likely a 9mm model, equipped with a red dot sight (SRO style) and a Surefire X300 weapon light. A Tactical Elite bore sighter is used for the zeroing process.
