I put a sentinel on my springfield xd-s mod2 in 45 acp. Turned a 5 yard gun with a 40 pound trigger into a thing I can hit 8 inch groups with at about 30 yards with a little discipline. Pulls up nice too, right where you want it.
Good question! And one we should probably do a separate video on. Absolute co-witness is achieved when your red dot reticle and iron sights align, but often requires taller irons. A more popular alignment is lower 1/3 co-witness, where your iron sights are in the lower third of the optic window and the reticle above. Pros/cons to both, but subjective.
I run your stuff exclusively. The BRC reticle is my favorite. I really want to get the Raider BRC in green next.
What Swampfox red dot model is being used for this video?

You might have a trigger problem bro
Great method
I am a first-time red dot owner. Can you talk about the sight picture? Do you place the red dot at the top of your iron sight?

What is the zero yardage?
I normally zero at 25-50 yards
Thanks for explaining the table! lol What distance do you zero your handgun optics at?
25y is ideal, but if you can't accurately hit the target for a good zero at that range, then whatever is the furthest you can is best.
