I was thinking 40-50 yards. That should make it no more than 1" high or low at any distance from the muzzle to a 50 yard target, and I don't think I would typically shoot 9x19 any farther than that with a SIG 226. Most shots - if not all - would be inside ten yards. I do live in the boonies, and there may be targets of opportunity beyond 10 yards, but generally nothing that threatening. I don't shoot predators as I have no livestock and although there are cougars and bears on my property, they do not bother humans (except to eat their kittehs and foo foo dogs).What distance are you planning to zero your laser at? I have heard many different opinions on this.
I have a laser on my carry gun. I think it's a no-brainer. Left-handed, seated, behind cover.. all quick easy shots inside 5-7 yards.
Got a recommendation for a good quality green laser for the home defense rifle? Can't seem to find any that aren't cheap stuff...
RDS are substantially easier to use and "train the brain" than BUIS when shooting with your non-dominate eye.With rifles BUIS don't work for me when shooting right-handed, and I'm too damn stubborn to learn how to be a full-time lefty.
Agreed, but my main concern with RDS is if the batteries fail. That's why I switched to prism - etched reticle allows for non-powered use.RDS are substantially easier to use and "train the brain" than BUIS when shooting with your non-dominate eye.
IMO, battery failure is a way overblown concern with modern, quality RDS. Battery life is measured in years while constantly on and CR2032's are dirt cheap.Agreed, but my main concern with RDS is if the batteries fail. That's why I switched to prism - etched reticle allows for non-powered use.
If I understand correctly, it would be POA/POIAre you zeroing for POA/POI or constant offset?
Ok. When I've used lasers on pistols, I've zeroed them at 10 meters or less (POA/POI), knowing that I'd be using them in a home setting. Rifles, I've always used a constant offset zero.If I understand correctly, it would be POA/POI
Both of those photos looks like where my LASER beam POA is when simply holding on the target…lol
