A lot of people have said this already but man I watched so many videos before this but this is the one that actually made me feel confident in my ability to sight my sight in next time I go to the range, thank you!
Excellent video, this is by far the best one I have seen on how to sight in a red dot. Simple and concise, you can toss out ALL the other videos on the topic because this is all you need. Thank you very much!
Wish I could say the same, but this is like watching a video in Russian for me. I can’t figure out what these guys are talking about. I’ve added a dot to my pistol & my AR & for the life of me cannot get it to zero in. I’m much better sticking to irons. Or I need to take a class somewhere on these dots.
@@hughjassole1430 Hey Hugh! If you could still use some help on this, give us a call at 1-800-4VORTEX ext. 5 and we can go through it/answer questions for you!
I ran a 10 yard zero for a while, but I switched to a 25 yard zero recently. I read an article where it was shown how a 25 yard yard actually helps with tightening groups at closer ranges such as 12, and 5. Last time at the range my shots at all types of distances were on point. A 10 yard zero is great for most self defense distances.
@@oneweak8938 Best to do both. Do ten first the 25. If you go back to ten your shots will be damn near through the same hole. This video is good but check out the one Swampfox did. Even better!
I just bought a handgun and installed red dot (SIG P226 Extreme). I watched about a dozen you tube videos but the more I watched the more it became confused. Not until I watch your video, it is clear. Thanks Vortex Optics, you have a very concise video which explain just the main points without wasting time like others did. Just one thing. If you also show how you aimed the red dot (the little window) to the target then it would be perfect
Hi Leon! Thanks so much for tuning in! We're happy to hear our video helped you out. We also really appreciate the feedback and will take it into consideration for future videos. Thanks again!
I’ve never used a red dot on a pistol before, I picked one up for my edc gun. I was struggling hard to zero it. I was aligning my irons with the dot. I watched multiple other videos and no one mentioned not to do that. Thank you!!!
Outstanding video. I'm about to sight in an SMSc on my Springfield Hellcat and your video is perfect. Right to the point. Nothing extraneous, especially blah, blah. A++
The one thing everyone with this type of instruction on sighting in a red dot never says. Where in the window should the red dot be? Center or towards the bottom? In other words where in the window should you put the dot? I am new to trying a red dot sight sorry if some may think this a dumb question!
Not a dumb question. Parallax and distance youd like for anything suitable and realistic for pistol itll be fairly negligible. Unless youre hoping to be within 3-4” each and every time which I’ll tell you past 25 yards with a pistol youd be hard pressed to find ppl who can consistently hit within that. If youre getting that deep into it just keep your dot smaller but the work is really going to be keeping your pistol or revolver solid regardless of recoil snd other things like that. Think about what you're wanting from it. Hunting vs carry vs range. Be realistic in what snd how you practice for which scenario snd roll with it
the way i sighted my rmr to my glock 19 was with a HYSKORE pistol rest all i did was was line the rmr up on the center of the x on a pistol target at 15 yards and then i took the side champs of the rest and camped the gun down so i do not have to hold it and the rmr red dot is in the middle of the x of the target this is after me shoot one shot i then took my 10 power scope and looked though the rmr so i could see the dot and where the bullet hit all i had to do then was move the reddot on the rmr where the bullet hit ,remember the pistol is clamped down so it is not going to move once the red dot from the rmr is on the hole where the bullet hit this the zero from that distance and it only took me one shot hopes ths helps
Great explanation..I just ordered a venom for my Canik TP9 elite. Looking forward to installing it and now I feel confident on the zero process...thanks again. Very clear and precise explanation.
@@richardlacourse2944 I agree about the Caniks. I have the tp9 combat elite and it’s my favorite by far. Little big to carry sometimes but that’s my only con if you can call that a con.
I'm an old Jarhead Rifleman... I've never used a Red Dot before...and want one on the new pistol...thank for explaining the application for using one and how it works... excellent video!
GREAT easy to understand video, just purchased my first red dot the Holosun 407k and wanted to get a heads up before heading to the range to sight it in. Thanks!
Outstanding video now we get it without all the trying to sound smart BS ...I've seen this effect at the range low left or right with almost everyone who has a red dot & nobody has a clue ..I was on the fence about trying a red dot I'm a classic iron sight guy ,but now I'll try it thanks man
Due to the price of ammo and its availability... I spent 49 bucks on a bore laser that activates when struck by the striker/firing pin. I know that there are tons of different cartridges for the same caliber. I also know that the different projectile weights and charges will affect POI. I got the red dot dialed in perfectly with the laser. It will be interesting to see where live rounds end up downrange.
Also ppl should realize the best zero depends on the ammo you use in your gun. Your barrel length effects it. I did the ballistics calculations... with my Glock 17 using S&B or PMC 124gr FMJ 9mm, 11 yards is the best zero. With an 11 yard zero you get a +2inches over the dot at around 50 yards and -2inches under your dot at 100 yards. It’s the flattest trajectory out to 100yards that I’ve found. 115gr and 147 grain are no where near as flat. If you have a shorter or longer barrel it will change the arc of the bullet and this zero may not be perfect. But I set it up with my glock34 and glock19 as well as my 17, all with an 11 yard zero (using S&B and/or PMC 124 gr FMJ range ammo) and the over/under of the dot is pretty close still pretty close to +/-2in out to 100 yards. Shooting USPSA, I’ve had courses where we had 50 and 100 yard shots on steel with our handgun and everyone struggled. I walked up, put the dot dead center on the steel silhouette and nailed it every time. With a 15 or 25 yard zero and 115gr bullets, by 100 yards you are hitting something like 12 or 15 inches below your dot, so you really need to be good at knowing your hold overs. With an 11 Yrd zero and 124 gr bullets you don’t have to really think about hold overs until you start getting out to 130 or 150 yards... and remember, this is with a handgun!!! 😱
@@Sunnysky321 ...there is a class at California Tactical Academy called “Long Range Handgun”. It’s a great class, teaches everyone how to hit silhouette sizes targets out past 200 yards with a handgun and iron sights.
Just a preference, I do only one at a time. This means I adjust for L/R and once I have that where I want it, I go to elevation. This affords opportunity to ensure we are using good fundamentals while shooting. I caveat that generally reserve this when I teach new shooters as I can identify other shooting issues.
Not a bad way, but once you are comfortable it can be done with less than 5 rounds. Don't need to shoot a full string just to make a correction if you know your POA and fundamentals on that particular shot were solid.
OMG 2:08 I just sighted in my red dot and red dot was way far left from my iron sight. But they both shot spot on when using one or the other. SO this section answered my question. Thanks for this part of the video.
I know this is an old video but has anyone ever noticed Jimmy looks like Eminem after he stopped dying his hair lol love y’all at vortex, keep up the good work.
So just to make sure, you align the red dot sight to the x on the target correct? And when it's off you make the adjustments based on everytime you aim at the x ?
I got the same sight for my Walther and found this video. Half way through I thought "wow what a really helpful video" and what do you know, I look down and see who it's by. Great video. Can't wait for Walther to send my mount plate to put that viper on and get to the range.
@@VortexOpticsUSA EDIT: i saw you answered this in another question in the comment section. the answer is "remove the optic to unlock and adjust sights". but i'll leave my comment as is anyway. I actually just got the mount. Should I remove the rear sight because otherwise I'd have to take off the entire sight in order to unlock the windage, which seems like a hassle. Sorry if a dumb question, but it looks like in the video you don't have one on there (at 4:28). Never really used a red dot so excuse my ignorance. just seems like removing the viper to unlock, then adjust, then lock again would lead to problems. i'll do it if i have to, but the process of removing the rear sights seems excessive based on the videos, but like i said, i'll do it if i have to.
I wish you would have shown how the sight picture looks thru the optic with the iron sights before and after it was sighted in. Other than that’ great video.
Thank you for straight forwards professional instructions. I have found with this type of sight that the locking screws can move the dot. So always lock the screws when shooting for zero. Or when you do lock them the dot moves and you are off zero. I've also found that when trying to use a weaver to 11mm dovetail adapter the whole sight will be placed left of centre leaving insufficient windage. It needs an 11mm dovetail specific mount. A variable 9-11mm mount is sloppy and skews the sight.
Great video! I'm actually thinking about getting a Holosun 407k for my 43X and was wondering how difficult it would be to zero. You made it look way too easy!
Within the glass of the red dot, where are you locating/putting the dot? I’m new to red dots and thought that the red dot had to be viewed through the glass on top of the front sight.
Tip: If you have one of those mounts for cleaning that have an insert into the mag well, you can keep your handgun stable enough to zero the red dot without measuring the target or counting the clicks. After shooting your first group, just put the red dot in the middle of the target and WHILE KEEPING THE GUN PERFECTLY STILL, adjust elevation and windage so the dot is centered on your first 3 to 5 shot group (if you don’t correctly the barrel is still facing the same POI). Congratulation, your red dot is zeroed and you only need to shoot again if you want to confirm it.
I just got this red dot optic, shown in the video, with my Canik TP9 SFX. Looking forward to going and sighting it in! As well as looking forward to putting some rounds through my new Canik 9mm!
I have a 3 MOA Venom in my G19 Gen 4 MOS and have had a heck of a time sighting it in. After watching this video, I think I have figured out the problem. Thanks for the great video.
This is the best video I have seen on the net in awhile. Being a seasoned shooter I like to see how others do things. Well done 👍🏻 All the pistols in the house have vortex red dots. Thanks 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How you liking those VTX so far, I'm in the market right now . .. the options is ridiculous lol, any help in regards to your personal experience and why you may reccomend.
@@shenton18 Actually love mine. My edc is a full size 1911 with vtx red dot. With my eye sight getting worse as I get older, I find target acquisition a lot faster. Best investment I’ve ever made.

Hope this helps. 🇺🇸
OH SHIT, spent all DAY trying to align my red dot with my iron sights, as the sights I thought were the TRUE alignment of the gun, no wonder I could never hit anything and finally ignored my red dot and went back iron sights, so I could hit my targets, HA. Question - Are you supposed to put the red dot in the ABSOLUTE MIDDLE and sight in from that perspective? I guess this means you better have good body, hand/head alignment when shooting, otherwise dialing in a red dot won't do you any good! GREAT VIDEO, thank you!

Does that really make a difference within 5-10 feet? I feel like most 9mm is going to act identically within around 10 feet

If you have one of those mounts for cleaning that have an insert into the mag well, you can keep your handgun stable enough to zero the red dot without measuring the target or counting the clicks. After shooting your first group, just put the red dot in the middle of the target and WHILE KEEPING THE GUN PERFECTLY STILL, adjust elevation and windage so the dot is centered on your first 3 to 5 shot group (if you don’t correctly the barrel is still facing the same POI). Congratulation, your red dot is zeroed and you only need to shoot again if you want to confirm it.
Great vid, ready to go to the range to set my RMR on my Cz10.
Great Video - Clear precise Explanation. thank You
I just got this red dot optic, shown in the video, with my Canik TP9 SFX. Looking forward to going and sighting it in! As well as looking forward to putting some rounds through my new Canik 9mm!
Let us know how it goes!
I have a 3 MOA Venom in my G19 Gen 4 MOS and have had a heck of a time sighting it in. After watching this video, I think I have figured out the problem. Thanks for the great video.
Awesome! Glad to hear that this video helped you, Jeff! If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
This is the best video I have seen on the net in awhile. Being a seasoned shooter I like to see how others do things. Well done 👍🏻 All the pistols in the house have vortex red dots. Thanks 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How you liking those VTX so far, I'm in the market right now . .. the options is ridiculous lol, any help in regards to your personal experience and why you may reccomend.
@@shenton18 Actually love mine. My edc is a full size 1911 with vtx red dot. With my eye sight getting worse as I get older, I find target acquisition a lot faster. Best investment I’ve ever made. New online 250 couple different options. If it’s not optic ready order the plate and sight mount. Everything is less than 300. If you shop around eBay is my go to. Actual dealers warranty and all. Hope this helps. 🇺🇸
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
OH SHIT, spent all DAY trying to align my red dot with my iron sights, as the sights I thought were the TRUE alignment of the gun, no wonder I could never hit anything and finally ignored my red dot and went back iron sights, so I could hit my targets, HA. Question - Are you supposed to put the red dot in the ABSOLUTE MIDDLE and sight in from that perspective? I guess this means you better have good body, hand/head alignment when shooting, otherwise dialing in a red dot won't do you any good! GREAT VIDEO, thank you!
Great video no fluff just great information! Thank you!
Spot on ! Do the X, then the Y. Thanks. (maybe,😁 use simple clean paper. )
