How To Aim A Pistol Using Iron Sights Or A Red Dot?

it keeps getting into my recommendation...i watched to see if there is something important...kids games.. learned that before i was 10 years old. grow up

Terrific i'm an "old" shooter. my friend has a new sig we could not figure out why he was shooting low at 25ft ??
Thank you for teaching these basic steps !! We are Subscribers

I'm new to pistol shooting brilliant video explained

Well thank you , A comprehensive explanation for beginners to aim your pistol. Much apprieciated .

Great video 😊

Excellent video. Your instruction was spot on..A+ young man..

I spent over 55 years shooting, Dad trained. Boy Scouting trained with shooting merit badge, Military Police trained, 20 years retired and civilian Law Enforcement trained 25 years and retired from that also, and at 67 I thought I knew it all, but I still learn things about shooting through programs like this. Keep up the good training.

But shouldn't be there also alignment for red dot too ? What will be happen an example your eyes is below or above of your red dot attached line ? Won't be there deviation ?? I believe also you need a reference point in red dot too for angle deviation ?

I shot bullseye for many years and I used a six o’clock hold.

I got my kid the BB P365 and just so happens you used it as a representation. 😂

how do you know what type of sights you have ?

If you are using the rear sight...there is a better/faster way. The front is all you need. Look straight down the top of your gun and place front sight where you want the round to go.

Great video

Thanks for sharing this! I bought a P365 and have been having trouble learning how to aim and shoot. This is very helpful! I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos.

Great video. How about one eye open vs two?

What holster do you have? I recently got a Sig P365X and found your channel. Not enough people talk about holsters which, IMHO, are just as important for EDC than the gun itself.

You failed to cover focusing on the front sight. I'm pretty old and was always taught the 6 o'clock hold, but then again I imagine that depends on what type of target.

I am somewhat new to firearms, but I always wondered where you should align your sights on the target. Target above the sight or sight on top of the target. Great video.

A question I have and never see addressed is how do you properly view your sights? Do you close an eye? Both eyes open, etc…? How to focus? Thank you for the great video

Good instructions

Im watching this video due to the fact that i have been told two different ways of how to aim with iron sights they told me to build a tower or align and i never new witch one was correct

How can you do that when your shooting for competition? Doesn’t that take too much time to line up

Thank you.

Great video, I'm a total noob but everything was clear and easy to understand. Thanks for the tutorial, please keep these videos going

First time viewer and subscriber. Great video on iron and red dot shooting. One question I saw your steel targets, and I am wondering if the left 2 were misplaced. They are either in fron of or close to rock formations behind the target. This seems dangerous to me because of a ricochet. Please comment.

You can aim a laser around a corner.. best of both

Great information

top edge? I always thought you're supposed to put your target BEHIND the dot on the front sight...(that's combat hold, and apparently my gun isn't combat hold) so that's why I keep missing some shots on my bb lol

bbguns are really good for practicing tho, I got an actual gun not long ago but don't really have time to go to the range, I just can't pick the 9mm up and shoot at some random stuff in my yard either hahaha

Excellent class you explain the topic excellent

Will everything change the further you shoot and if the weather is windy?

"firearm" just sounds better than "gun"...

I watch this seriously as if I own a gun.

The dot shooters should hope the battery don't go bad.

I was in a mp unit this is super basic but great for civilians

thanks man it helped a ton

I’m old school, learned to shoot a revolver in the 1968 police academy. Iron sights on my issued Colt service revolver and continued doing things the same way, even when we transitioned to the Glock in the ‘80s, through to retirement 30 yrs later. I don’t care for hanging a bunch of high tech stuff on the gun in hopes of improving my score.

What about cross dominant? Right handed shooter, left eye dominant with a red dot

Focus target with left eye and superimpose dot on right eye? Or vice versa?

My Walther PPQ Q5 Match SF came from the factory as a combat hold. They all are I believe. It was sighted at 25m and was pretty much spot on from round 1. 🤓🇦🇺

Your content is really excellent! Thanks!

My cousin is the president of France and he always kills pigeons with a spear made out of a sharpened baguette

I am a 300 year old vampire witch and this is what our VW academy instructors always taught us

Thanks for your tip.

You can't own a firearm without following this channel. Hands down the best informational station on guns

Excellent training video!!

As someone just now getting back into guns, the red dot was a mystery to me. This explanation is gold. Thank you and great video. Subbed!

Great vid and useful info for most pistols, but I got a Kahr CW45 pistol about 10 years ago and I had a hell of a time figuring out how to accurately shoot the 'dotted i' style sights on Kahr pistols. I got pretty good with it but I still dont like the 'dotted i' sights and wont buy any gun that has them. I guess it must be just me and a few other misguided shooters that don't like them as I notice different companies offer that 'dotted i' sight picture as an aftermarket 'upgrade'.
