Proper handgun sight alignment

Different brands use different sight-in distances for their sights. This means the alignment and “hold” on your Rival Arms sights may be slightly different that on your factory sights.

All Rival Arms sights are optimized for a “combat style” 25-yard point-of-impact result.

With the three dots in alignment, the front/center dot should be centered on the target. This is considered a “combat-style” sight picture.

“Standard-height” and “suppressor” or “mos” height sights use the same method and same 25-yard zero.

Inline sight models are also aligned at 25 yards, but the sight picture differs slightly. Please reference the image below for the proper sight alignment.

Using this sight picture should result in a Point-of-Impact (POI) directly behind the front sight dot at 25 yards.

To most accurately confirm the alignment, please shoot your pistol from a solid rest at 25 yards, with two hands, using this sight picture.

 

We believe that the above sight picture provides the most consistent Point-of-Aim (POA)/ Point-of-Impact (POI) in all shooting conditions, Day or Night.
