| Shooting from a rest, I determined my sights were off. I had to adjust both the RMR and iron sights on mine. Once the sights were adjusted, the dot was directly centered on and resting on top of the front post. Dot/ post configuration. Once the dot is adjusted (co-witnessed), as long as it is where you want your round to hit, it does not matter where the dot is within the window. It does not need to be co-witnessed with the iron sights in order to strike your target.

| I have had a similar problem. So essentially to get the red dot zeroed, I could do this at home with a target say 25' down a hallway, then just adjust the red dot right over the front iron sight and it should be pretty darn close if not right on? Then fine tune at range? quote: Originally posted by 10-7 leo: Shooting from a rest, I determined my sights were off. I had to adjust both the RMR and iron sights on mine.

| Yes. Many people have been using that method to sight in co-witnessing sight systems forever. |

| Any recommendations on a good shooting rest for pistols that isn't to expensive? quote: Originally posted by 10-7 leo: Shooting from a rest, I determined my sights were off. I had to adjust both the RMR and iron sights on mine.

| Co-witnessing, using a target in your home, will work, as long as your iron sights are aligned correctly. I used a rest because I have one for precision rifle shooting. You can just as easily use a few old, ratty towels which are piled or rolled up. You just want to support the muzzle while keeping your hands from contacting your bench/ table.

| I'm far sighted and have a similar situation. If I squint, or use the very bottom edge of my progressives, I can get a focused dot. I've found that even at 25 yards, if I put the red blur in the general area where I want the round, the round is very close.
