Pistol Red Dot 15 Yard Zero 

So Sage recommends a 25 y zero, Jedi a 10 y zero and Sig a 15 y zero. My personal preference after tens of rounds fired is 12y 1 foot 8 inches hereafter to be known as the Clark Zero. (Copyright applied for)

I boresighted the pistol at 15 yards and it was dead on when I did a 3 shot group from a rest. Pretty good for a $15 device from gander.

Hey if you didnt pick up that extra round ill take it.

I personally go with a 25yd zero because simple geometry tells us that the longer the sight in distance chosen, the more gradual the downward sight axis will be, and the less dispersion will result so say you zero for 25yd then move up to 12 shoot then up to 5 then shoot the vertical spread will be like 2 inches and if you say zero at 12yd vertical spread goes to about 4 inches and zeroing at 5yd if then shoot at a target at 12yd you'll be about 5 inches high and about 8inches high at 25. With everything I've researched and shot a 25yd is the best all around pistol zero

2021 update... when making safe be sure to pick up you round and clean off the dirt for reuse! Can’t afford to be leaving 60 cent bullets all over the range.

For EDC 10-15 yards is adequate. For every application, there are adjustments. My p320 x compact I shot at 15 yards and adjusted the Romeo 1pro to my point of impact. Also don’t “slave” your dot to your irons, it defeats the purpose.

I am not a steady enough shot to use the technique taught in the video, so I had to figure out a way that would work for me. I clamped my empty pistol, barrel down, under a light bright enough to see the three iron sights. I held my head so the front sight is properly aligned in the rear sights. My Sig P365XL has combat sights which mean that when aligned this way the bullet will go to the target where the center of the circle on the back side of the front sight is. If a gun uses non-combat sights the target should sit on top of the front sight. Using the adjustment screws on the red dot sight I moved the red dot so that it sits in the center of the front sight, which is where the bullet would go to. Now the bullet will go where the red dot is which is where the iron sights are also aimed. Voila! The red dot is zeroed without wasting any bullets. The results are good when I shoot the target at the range. I am open to any criticisms of this technique.

Thanks, Peter Griffin

Yea, and at any other range it’s either lower or higher. Now you just have to figure those out and remember all the offsets.

May I offer that a 10 yard zero shooting at 1-inch circle will translate better at most distances than a 15 yard "zero" at a 1.695 circle. Just food for thought.

Before viewing this I wondered how you were going to show how to zero a red dot in just 1:51. Well, that answered that. You didn't, did you? Just showed what it looks like when the optic was already zeroed. Okay, umm, thanks, I guess.

OK, so let me see if I have this right, or at least close to it. If 1 MOA is approximately 1 inch at 100 yards and I zero my red dot at 15 yards, then 1 MOA is about 5/32nds of an inch (3.97 mm) at 15 yards. Not that I can shoot groups that small (smaller then the diameter of my 9mm bullet) I just want to be sure that I have the concept correct.

I thought he was going to teach something. It would have been nice to see how to adjust the sight. Thanks

I don’t understand other videos saying I shouldn’t zero my red dot with the iron sights. They work independently they said. But I don’t understand why wouldn’t it work? Isn’t that the point of a red dot, to hit where the iron sights would also hit if you were aiming with them. Also, the iron sights wouldn’t be on the way, depending on the angle of your view. Also if I zero at 25 yards, then shooting at 10 would bring the point of impact would be higher right?

Ok so that wasn’t a “zero video”

On at 15 and on at 30 yards. No clue what that means

This seems more like advertisement for your ammo rather than justifying the zero.

When I use a red dot sight on any center fire pistol, I find that oil and other byproducts of “combustion” coat the glass (heavily) in less than a dozen rounds. To the point of not being able to see the target clearly. I’ve had this happen several times, on several different pistols. It is generally considered a good thing to run Sig pistols “wet”. Making the situation worse, earlier. That may be fine in a real life SD situation, since in most such scenarios, the round count doesn’t go much higher. But in a class, or training in general, red dot sights are un usable for me. The exception is on a rim fire pistol. Almost all of them discharge the oil and other debris, to the side of the pistol, only. Fine for any glass mounted on top. Am I the only one to find this to be true? Just say no, to glass on top of center fire pistols.

What happens if you don’t hit overlapping shots in the bullseye after one try? Lol

How to zero a red dot: Have your pistol red dot already zeroed, and do nothing. Wow, this video has to be a joke, right?

It all depends on your home yard an area u protect they say all self-defense situations are in a 15 yards or less but what distance is your longest run in your home or property with in reason. Be safe it's a different world

I am a little confused here, please correct me if I am wrong, I am a noob. It is hard to defend a self defense case at 50, and 25 yards specially in home defense. Why would I not zero for 5, 7, or 10 yards given that most homes tend to be 10 yards or less at its longer side. I would think most shooting during a home invasionI think occur at 3 to 5 yards.

GLOCK is so rugged. The Sig has just for some reason Exuberant a sense of professionalism.

When you get a pistol do you gotta find how many yards its sighted in at already? Or do you sight it in yourself? I mean with irons?

Why the 15? I wish he explained the logic or philosophy behind choosing that zero. Is it just more practical for home defense?

ok, I'm confused. Is this 15 Yard Zero for competition shooting? I use mine for self defense which would typically be from 3 to 7 yards from my understanding. So for a self defense situation, Wouldn't a 10 yard zero make more sense? Just asking because this is my first pistol optic and I don't have a clue. Just thinking in a logical manor. Sig P320 AXG Equinox with a Romeo 1 Pro 3MOA. Thanks in advance.

So where’s the bullet hit at 20 yards

Do you co-witness the red dot with your sights ?

It did its purpose no complains..

Luv sig

Have new glock. Don’t understand lango? “Back on” at ?

Everyone got 5% dumber after this bideo

Why 15 yards as opposed to 25?

What does back on at 35 mean?

👍

The Sig Sauer training video is poorly done. Why present information on zeroing a red dot unless you're invested in teaching someone how to do it? The trainer not only rushed through the information but also spoke so quickly that it was difficult to understand the instructions.

What does on a 15 and back on at 35 mean?

I put a lazer on it lol, red dot on your body, red sauce out!

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Waste of time. This was an ammo promo.

What type of bullshit was this? How the hell did you zero it?? I thought that was what this video was. No wonder you disabled the ratings. And to think, I just spent so much money on a Sig M18 and Romeo pro optic....garbage

I think it's a little BS that sig doesn't zero the red dots sold on their pistols. After spending 2200 dollars it should be ready to go 🤷🏽

Click bait and a fudd 🤢🤮

Sorry Sig, but I have to unsubscribe. I put down almost $400 for a p226 and during the background check waiting period was notified that I'm prohibited from owning firearms for life. My almost $400 was nonrefundable😟 It would've been my first gun😲
