Sight Adjustment Basics

My method for adjusting sights. Yes, some sights are not adjustable, but the principle is the same, whether you need to replace the rear sight with a taller one or if you need to replace the front sight, or file it down. :-) Somehow, you want to get the bullets hitting where the sights are aligned, or get the sights aligned with where the bullets are going. :-)

I think the easiest way to think about this is move the rear sight the way you want your bullets to go. If you want to shoot up, move the rear sight up. If you want to shoot more left, move the rear sights left. boom

Great Video!

I am a long time Olympic Style pistol shooter and I have shot around one million .22 caliber rounds in my life. Simply put, I have been adjusting sights on my target pistols for years and years... I don't think I could have explained how to adjust gun sights much better than you did in this video; without getting so far into the technical world, that your average layperson wouldn't get lost. Good Job and another great video.

Now Im re thinking my 1st 100 rounds, I used top sight at 25 yrds 8" target but was all around. so on bench rest I hit more in the 3" target so overthinking it I measured my rear sight at 1/32" off 2 left & wanted to center it but ;1st it wouldnt move & 2nd I'll just adjust my point of aim on my springfield XD40 Unless there is a Way to move my rear sight with out paying big bucks for a trick tool or ship it to a shop

I thought i was just a horrible shot with the colt revolver.

Is that the same method used for rifle scopes and Irons?

[savator408]

hey hickok45 do you recommend the Truglo TFO sights on the Glock? Or do you prefer the stock glock sights?

[durrock1927]

might depend on what you intend on using it for that would determine where you need to site, nothing wrong with taking a couple extra shots either
