THANK YOU!!!! I'm a newbie and I had no idea how to adjust my sight. I REALLY appreciate this video and how you explained it so even a newbie like myself would understand!!!!
I confess it's great to be able to test guns right outside my home-office door! Those grips are custom grips from Eagle Grips. Called "Kirinite", they are a new offering and come in a wide range of colors,designs and styles. They're on the Web, check 'em out! Roy Huntington
LOVE a 1911, with those high-rise, adjustable type sights! I know they're not considered, "carry" sights...but I'm awfully partial to them, and shoot those best.
I am so jealous of you right now, being able to shoot in your backyard like that. That's every shooter's dream!!! BTW, what kind of grips were those? They were nice looking!
Thank you! I own a Glock 34 sc and the manual doesn't say one word on the way to adjust the rear sight. Before doing anything I will first ascertain whether it is just my fault if the gun shoots left....
@@fmgpubs you're right, I miss counted the view counts, but still think the humble number of thumb ups are much of understatement and underappreciation. I bet this has to do with google search and ads algorithm. The most current and popular ones promoted by UA-cam are the ones with a lot active shooting showcasing latest guns and trending gadgets showcase. At first I found them educational, but not for long before I realized they are more of just like extended marketing commercials rather than honest and critical reviews that can fundamentally improve my marksmanship.
So, you turn the windage screw COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, the move the rear sight to the LEFT? On my Ruger Mark IV Hunter, the bullets are hitting the bullseye to the just to the right of where I'm aiming.
This makes it much simpler than the instruction manual for my Ruger Mark IV explained it. Move the rear sight in the direction that you want the impact to go.
Not necessarily. A gun will shoot different loads to different points of impact. Adjusting a sight for a load being shot to testfire a gun at the factory, may not have the same “zero’ for the load you might be using. It can also be adjusted for different ranges and even for the manner different people see the sights. That’s the beauty of adjustable sights, you can tailor them to your own needs. Roy
Thanks always had fixed sights on hand guns but glock 34s or other longslide glocks really do need to be zeroed with the adjustable sights that's probably why they come with them, lol
Well Roy nice video I mean the scenery. U did a great job showing what adjustment screw moves the sight right and left. And even where it was located at on the side of the rear sight. I know where the adjustment screw is for the up and down adjustment on the rear sight. But for the 3 I ask to watch Ur video and tell me how to sight it in up and down.. Only 1 was Brave enough to take a guess. But did get it right! The other 2 just said they wouldn't want to mess the sight up if they was wrong. Just saying Roy U should maybe add a lil finger point to the up and down adjustment screw. To further educate the ones that know nothing about adjustable sights. The 3 I ask are younger but all do very well with any and all guns. All very safe and very respectful of guns. But it helps when the ones teaching the younger and older about guns. Do it in the correct manner and giving them all the information and not just part of it. That's how ppl get hurt!!!! Other than that this video was very well done. So get that finger point in there somewhere. Then U have the best video going on sight adjustment Sir.
The test gun I was using was one I was building at the time on Caspian parts. The rear sight is this one: stores.kensight.com/lpa-trt-1911-kensight-sight-squared-blade/ I like the big, bold adjustable rear sights, and the Kensights are affordable and reliable. Also, to answer a few other questions, I was sighting in at about 15 yards. Closer makes it easier to get on-target and offers less chance for "bad shooting!" to enter into the equation while you get the sights zeroed. Once you're zeroed you can move to 25 or whatever range and fine-tune the adjustment for the range you're shooting. Roy Huntington
@@fmgpubs Roy the one thing you left out that would've been really helpful is how far away was the target? Maybe you could add that to the description or comment?
Robert, with most adjustable sights, turn the screw to the right to move the sight right. But it’s easy to check, just turn the screw and you can see the direction the sight blade is moving. Roy
At 25 yds..group was .(centered).but appropriate 7 in left..how many clicks rt would you recommend w/o being able to go to a range..which I'll do later..
@@fmgpubs the adjustable target sights on a kimber do click..on another post it noted that on a colt gold cup..at 50 yds a click was a half n inch..so at 25 would a click be 1/4 in?? Can you confirm..if so, I just need to move it back lt 6 clicks..just trying to confirm how many quarters or halfs.. per click, move effect at 25, 15 an 7 yds..as 50 is apparently 1/2 in..thx.
@@spsniper1170 It really depends on the sight and a Colt would be different likely. The load you’re shooting also affects the point of impact. You could guess and move the sight based on the Colt info, but until you actually shoot the gun and load you’re using you won’t know for sure. Roy
@@fmgpubs I know..ugh..I just thought standard adjustable target sights are generally the same..especially from the big companies..kimber, colt, Springfield..etc..
I’d do it close at first, say 10 yards. See where they are hitting, make any corrections. Then the final sight-in would be at the distance you want. If you commonly shoot at 25 yards, then use that distance. But a “zero” at say, 15 yards would be fine out to about 35 yards or so. Roy
This is the most no bs, straight to the point video of it.. thank you sir!
THANK YOU!!!! I'm a newbie and I had no idea how to adjust my sight. I REALLY appreciate this video and how you explained it so even a newbie like myself would understand!!!!
the best zeroing video I've found all night. thank you sir!
By far the best
Best and easiest to follow instructions Ive seen in y 73-yrs
I confess it's great to be able to test guns right outside my home-office door!

Just bought the same gun and I was shooting about the same to the left this video is very helpful simple and strait to the point.
Short, clear and straight to the facts.
Not 30 minutes of nonsense.....
Thank you for being considerate of our time and providing good information.
You bet Vinnie! I hate that same thing too. Drones on and on, bad camera work, worse audio. What are they thinking! Thanks again. Roy
Thank you Roy...Very simple, straight forward and great info.
Straight to the point and very educational. Glad i scrolled down for this video! Thanks
Cool, glad to help Phil. Roy
This was this simplest explanation ive watched. Thanks!
Very nicely explained and illustrated. Thanks.
Nice shooting Dead Eye Roy, and a nice backyard! Very succinct explanation and video.
Thanks Pete. I confess I do enjoy my “back yard!” Roy
Excellent, simple and straight to the point.
Thanks for the advice Roy. I will put it to good use later today when I take my GSG Firefly out to the range!
LOVE a 1911, with those high-rise, adjustable type sights! I know they're not considered, "carry" sights...but I'm awfully partial to them, and shoot those best.
Great Video. Simple and clear!! Thanks
Thanks Roy! Great little video 👍🏻
Glad to help! Roy
Thanks for making this very easy to understand. Several videos that I tried watching just got too technical, and confusing.
I am so jealous of you right now, being able to shoot in your backyard like that. That's every shooter's dream!!!

Great clear information
.. thank you for such excellent gun education Sir..
wonder why this brief and informational video only got less than 1k view and thumb-ups. Thank you sir.
Hi Jacob, thanks for your kind words. It looks like the vid is at about 95,000 views so we’re doing swell! I hope it helped you out. Roy H.

That was the one thing he left out lol

Hi Mike. I’m not sure why most instructions make it much more complicated than it is! Roy
distance shot at?
Thanks, Roy.
Thnak you . Simple and clear
Thanks Buds.
Very interesting video.
Cheers.
Hope it helped out some! Thanks for commenting. Roy H.
Aren't rear sights on handguns dialed in from the factory? So confused. So, if it has an adjustable rear sight they're not dialed in? Why?
Not necessarily. A gun will shoot different loads to different points of impact. Adjusting a sight for a load being shot to testfire a gun at the factory, may not have the same “zero’ for the load you might be using. It can also be adjusted for different ranges and even for the manner different people see the sights. That’s the beauty of adjustable sights, you can tailor them to your own needs. Roy

What way do u turn the screw on the top to adjust the sight down ..
Clockwise or counter Clockwise??
Almost always clockwise lowers the rear. But watch it as you do it and you can see it move. Roy
Thanks for your video sir but how about the non adjustable sight Like combat commander 45
What rear adjustable sight did you use. I a Colt Mark IV Series 80
The test gun I was using was one I was building at the time on Caspian parts. The rear sight is this one:

Which way to turn to move the rear sight to adjust point of impact to the right...which way to turn if you what it moved to the left....thank u
Robert, with most adjustable sights, turn the screw to the right to move the sight right. But it’s easy to check, just turn the screw and you can see the direction the sight blade is moving. Roy
@@fmgpubs thank u sir
Best video so zero in a pistol , but zeroed at how many yards ?
can i get the make and model of that gun thanks and does it come standard with adjustable sights or what sights are those?
Looks like a Springfield 1911 Loaded Target. That model in particular comes with the adjustable sights. The 1911 Loaded comes with static sights.
Finally! Someone showing what to do without a bunch of bullschit leading up to it
Glad to help sir. Roy
Are these better than 3 dot sights ?
What range were you at?
At 25 yds..group was .(centered).but appropriate 7 in left..how many clicks rt would you recommend w/o being able to go to a range..which I'll do later..
Hard to tell. Some sights don’t “click” and each sight model moves different amounts. You’ll have to sight it in the hard way! Roy

Explains why my 45 LC is shooting high and left....
That's a cool gun. I wants!
At how many yards should I be zeroing in my TRP ?
FishOnTv curious as well. I have the operator and finally had the nerve to start messing with those triji's
Thank you
You bet! It’s great to see people watching these vids all these years later! Roy H.

Sooooooo...

Glock owners looking very confused at the big word you are using, "ADJUSTABLE"?
