The Zero, the off-set and parallax | Learning RED DOTS On Handguns (Part 1)

About this video

Colion demonstrates his approach to zeroing pistol red dot optics and explains why he believes a 15-yard zero is preferable to the older 25-yard standard. He walks a student through the zeroing process, conducts holdover drills at varying distances to illustrate offset considerations, and performs parallax testing to show that precise dot centering in the optic window is less critical than many shooters assume.

Key takeaways

• Colion recommends a 15-yard zero for pistol red dots because he believes it reduces holdover/holdunder needs compared to a 25-yard zero
• According to Colion, offset between bore and optic on pistols is negligible at common defensive distances, so shooters should aim directly where they want to hit
• Colion demonstrates that pistol red dots are not perfectly parallax-free, but he argues shooter error affects accuracy far more than minor parallax or imperfect dot centering in the window
