What red dot

[BobSki]

Was it a holographic sight,what was faulty on it.

Yes it was holographic. The reticle was visible only in a very small circle and refused to move around the screen, remaining anchored in the centre at the very bottom of the screen.

That Help?

enough respect ,you have given me some ideas and helped a lot in deciding what type of sight to fit thanks

You should visit with the UBC at a shoot,
you'd get loads of ideas, not all of them easy on the wallet

I am going to have to do that,i have been trying to find info for around a week,your pics have provided it minutes,in your opinion what sight setup is the best for accuracy at around 10 meters

[magicniner]

For paper punching I still don't think you can beat conventional iron sights.
I can't get on with the tube red dots on pistols but lots of shooters do, mine are for rifles & carbines, the holographic or collimator red dots suit me as they don't mask as much vision,
Red dots are ideal for variable sized and/or variable distance targets, you will need to try sights to see what suits you, you won't know until you try them,

is there pics of scopes/red dot sights fitted to pistols that i could access,so i can get a better idea of what folks are fitting to their pistols

You can see a cheap ZOS red dot sight fitted to my Brocock Aim-X here:

Very nice

I've got a Tasco Pro Point Red Dot on my shiny 2240.

Here it is on the pistol...

The 7th photo down, showing the view of the red dot sight from the shooters perspective, shows the little circle where the reticle appears. On the JSR one with "Dontop" printed on the side which I bought, that's exactly where mine stayed, the bottom half of the reticle being obscured by the prism housing.

I bought the holographic sight from jsr,seems ok ,i zeroed it for 10 meters target bulls eye accuracy,but when i tried to hit a 5 meter target missed it,why is this happening any ideas,or do i have to zero on different distances every time eg 10,15,20 meters

[BobSki]

Zeroing a red dot is the same as zeroing a scope or any other, (including iron) sight. Owing to the curved trajectory of the pellet a sight usually has two distances at which the point of impact will be on the cross hairs or in this case red dot, known as the primary and secondary zero. All other distances will require "hold over" or "hold under".

All the best

you shouldn't have enough of a loopy trajectory to miss something at 5m if you've zeroed at 10m though

[sol1821]

btw the red dot i mentioned in my earlier post is rubbish as soon as the sun comes out.
i tried using it for ipas a while ago and it was slightly sunny, i couldn't see the red dot at all
should be ok for target shooting as you don't need to acquire the red dot as fast as poss

[dicky]

I bought a holographic sight last week from jsr, I didn't fit it until today and I too had to play around it by manufacturing a spacer for it,
when I fitted it without a spacer the whole thing was raising on one side and lifting off the rail.
I'll reserve judgement on how it works until sunday...when i'll be trying it off a pod and in a competition or two.

How many meters should i set the zero at.
