I just received a bore sighter that I bought on Ebay, for about $9. After I put the batteries in, I placed it into the chamber and tried sighting it. What I noticed was that the laser was pointing way off (about 6 inches) on a target that was about 15 feet away. The pistol that I tried it in, is one that I shoot with and yields good results. I played with bore sighter for a while turning the sight in the barrel to see if the dot moved or changed direction. Then checked the diameter of the bore sight and compared it to a 9mm cartridge, they were within about .005" of each other in diameter. Then I thought maybe if I put it into the magazine and rack it, it might fit better; which is what did it. I then tried it is several other pistols, using the magazine to load it with similar results.
The reason for buying this in the first place was to see if the sights on a Glock 43 were even close. We go out shooting every week and neither of us shoot very well with that gun. Using the laser bore sighter, it seems like the sights are fairly accurate; which means that there is another problem. Maybe operator error, probably not that either. <lol>
