Shooting High

NOT saying other folks should do this..I zero all my in house guns to be able to shoot a bullet into an eye socket at 40 feet. That is the extreme straightline shot inside my house. This applies to all guns inside the house.
 
ALL handguns can be zeroed. If they couldn't I certainly would not own one. With fixed sights, you zero by working on the front sight or your load for elevation. For windage you do the same as the factory..twist it, bend it or whack it.

Alternately, you learn your bullet impacts at varying distances. In your case, the further you go out, the more you hold lower.

So, your combat hold up very close will turn into a 6 oclock hold further out. Until the bullet starts dropping back down again, which will be a considerable distance.

from the slide to the top of the front sight is 0.198, Dawson Precision calculated the one i needed, was 0.251 but said if its within 0.005 it would be fine, so the closest they had for me was 0.255. Figured that would correct it enough to make it better.

Hopefully you can file that front sight down if it ends up being too much adjustment...fiber optic?

Are you referring to a pistol with typical iron sights?

Specifically, the gun in this thread. So, a gun zeroed at 7-10 feet. By “zeroed” I mean center of bullet impacting at top of from sight.

By “very close” I mean inside that distance, and by “combat hold” I mean dot/sight over target.

But should be same with any pistol with regular iron sights.


Edit: I would never do this, btw.

Got it. I didn't look at it from the angle of leaving it zeroed for 3 yds.
