red dot for beginners!! Hi all, I have a question about red dots and zeroing them. I have been collecting firearms since I was 18!! I have a really nice collection and my problem is that none of them have a red dot on them! I recently bought a sig p365x with a holosun 407k-x2 and I really don't know how to zero it correctly! I was wondering if my fellow members from sig talk could help me out.. I'm not sure if I have to co witness the dot with the front sight or should I have the dot in the middle of my dot window?? I read of both ways of doing it but i'm not sure which is the best way of doing it and the easyest way of zeroing my red dot!! If I could get some direction on the correct way of zeroing my red dot I would greatly appreciate it!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I have P365x w/Holosun HE407K-GR X2 Green Dot. Set it up simply by adjusting the Dot to sit directly on top of front sight post when aligning rear sight slot on the Holosun with front sight. Very close, tweaked it my G-Sight laser. Perfect score at LEO annual Qual. GTG!

I went to the range today with my sig p365x and my holosun 407k-x2 and while shooting my red dot I actually did pretty well with all that great info coming from you guys and girls.. The one problem I did have was the first time ever with that specific gun. I was firing at my zeroing target and the striker fell and no bang? I looked at the round and there was a striker mark but like I said no bang.. So I loaded that round back into my gun and it went bang. I have to say I was using steel ammo but it did go off the second time I fired it! Does anyone have any thoughts about what could of happened and is it prevalent to that gun(p365x) Thank you all for your time
Steel ammo usually cheaper stuff for a reason, I don't use it. Winchester, Federal, Rem UMC, Blazer, no steel or aluminum, actually don't recall any failures, except for not properly inserting Mag. (my bad LOL).
