    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?

    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.

    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.
