  1. This is what i would do. I would put the gun in a mount and fire it, to see where the bullet goes into my target, then I would alien that bullet hole with my lazier. I would alien that with the hole in my target page. Cheers. Good luck with any other method.

  2. If you put a handgun in a vice with a laser and fired one round at a target that's seven yards away would the laser be zeroed if you adjusted the laser to the POI at that distance?

  3. Great to the point video with supporting Logic and common sense. Really enjoyed this video as it really does explain how to adjust the TLR-6 combo. Great job and thank you so much. 🎩♠️

  4. In bright light you will be using your iron sights because the laser will likely not even be visible. In darkness you will be looking over your iron sights because you can't see them anyway but you can see the laser dot. While most defensive shots will likely be close range, I still want my laser sighted to 25 yards or more if I have to shoot a longer distance in the dark. If you sight your laser for very close range you will be shooting way low at greater distances in the dark. With a 9 mm shots out to 100 yards on a man sized target are not out of the question. I agree that pistol lasers are not the most accurate but I would rather maximize the capability to a few inches rather than a few feet.

  5. Thank you !!! I always thought it was like Hollywood. You aim at any distance and you get a bullseye. Now, I know the reality is 5 feet is different than 12 feet is different than 30 feet. I kept adjusting my laser thinking it was a piece of crap.

  6. Ok understood and thanks. I bought a laser pointer-pen that I keep in my bag and practice two things. First is looking at a distant object and then starting the pointer and have it light at the same point im looking at. Second is settling down to not shake. If a person practices this for just a few weeks both will be within a 1 inch circle. The practice teaches you fast concentration and focus. Last thing id want is to shoot someone, I cant think of anything worse. I pray im never forced to do what I have to.

  7. Well done as usual. It would seem that sighting at around 15 yards after adjusting it at 12’ might be the best way to mitigate the parallax of the laser from the muzzle. Either way, definitely a good video for a place to start!

  8. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together, you are a true brother looking out for us and I am grateful for your time sir. Much love, respect, and peace to you and your team, sir.

  9. Nice video man, ive been looking for sumthn identical to this for about a week off & on so i have no idea how youtube didn't show it to me sooner but thanks for explaining. What's the deal with the damn safety glasses tho? Are you worried the papers gonna fly up in your face & cut your eye ball or what lol
