What's the best way to sight in a red dot on a handgun? What type of handgun vise do I need? I just got a Ruger 22/45 Mark III and put my Bush TRS-25 on her. What's the best way of getting it sighted in?

I have a 22/45 with a dot. It was remarkably close when I sighted it in. I kind of used an educated guess with the iron sights (even though the front was blocked obviously) relative location and the dot on a rest.

Start close, I bet you have it dialed at 50ft with one 10 round magazine.

Well, I have the 10149..which is the model with the Picatinny rail, so I don't have any irons to judge by. Just a point and shoot and adjust i guess.---Bboy623
