Point blank Range?
At what distance do you zero your revolvers?
I have my BP revolvers set for a 7 yard zero (Ball impact at the top center of the leveled sight picture)
This range was chosen from law enforcement reports listing the average modern shootout distance as 21 ft. I figgured it would fit so I adopted the range.
The one exception to this is my .357 Vaquero which was sent back to the factory for massive warranty repairs and arrived with the front sight zero'd @ 25 yards. Various loads change this a bit but generally it shoots high at my preferred 21 ft,"Combat distance".
Zeroing the revolvers took some front sight work (on the Remingtons) and in the case of Colt styles, hammer reshaping and opening of the rear sight notch for a easier L/R estimation.
What distance have you picked? Why?
Thanks for reading and responding!
