Sightmark Pistol Boresight with Red Laser

After reading negative comments in the review I was skeptical about this 9mm bore sight. I bought a 223 bore sight from them years ago and worked flawlessly sighting in my Eotech, it was dead on out the box. I have 5 handguns with various optics on them that I sighted in already. I was already happy with my zero and wanted to see how close this bore sight was. What I noticed was that my windage was dead center on all my handguns and my elevation was off by a few clicks. I took out the bore sight multiple times and rotated it to see if it moved away from my zero. Every time it was still at dead center and the lazer did not move direction. I was surprised how accurate this lazer is. It was pretty damn close to all my zeroes. I wish I had this from the beginning. It would of saved me a lot of time and ammo. I can honestly recommend this product. P.S. I tested this at 20 yards. I hope this helps

I bought the 9mm version. I used it to adjust the iron and red dot sights on a 9mm carbine at 25 yards. The laser is only so bright, so you're either going to have to do this indoors, or outdoors on a less then bright sunny day. My unit came with 2 AG5 batteries. It will also accept 3 AG3 batteries. There is no on/off switch, when the batteries are in, the unit is on. I suggest you take them out when you're done. I had mine running for about 45 minutes on the batteries that it came with without noticing any change in the lasers brightness. After sighting in the iron sights at 25 yards, I experimented by rotating the boresight in the bore 90 degrees at a time to see if the laser was still aligned with my sights. I noticed no difference at that distance. My red dot is mounted on an American Defense quick detach mount. It was interesting and educational to use the laser to sight in the red dot. After my initial sighting in, I used my hand to flex and twist the sight on it's mount while it was attached to the rail of my gun. Guess what? It was clear I needed to tighten my mount! Then I used the laser to see just how well the red dot would hold zero when repeatedly removed and replaced on the weapon. Again, at 25 yards, I couldn't tell a difference. Finally, as I had done with the iron sights, I rotated the boresight 90 degrees in the bore, rechecking it each time against the red dot sight. Everything looked good! After all that, I switched to live ammo to check my efforts. I was off about half an inch high to the right. Fantastic results as far as I'm concerned! I'll sort out the rest at the range. I consider what I paid for this device money well spent for what I've used it for so far. Mine was a tad tight in the bore, even after cleaning the bore carefully and applying a VERY light coat of oil, I still had to use a pair of needle nose pliers to carefully extract it each time I removed it. I don't consider this an issue, just passing along my experience. EDIT: April 10, 2016 - Just a quick note on batteries, The second time I took this thing out to use it, the original AG5 batteries it came with were dead. The laser came on when I put them in but before I could use it, it sputtered out. I had bought a package of 10 Maxell AG3 batteries at the same time I ordered this boresight so I put in 3 of them. They lasted 10 minutes at best! I don't know exactly what to make of this information. Are two AG5s inherently better then three AG3s? Are the Maxells I bought just old or crappy? This much I can tell you, you gotta work quick to get anything done in 10 minutes...

After reading both positive and negative reviews of this product i decided to be brave and try it as i had 4 9mm pistols i wanted to get as close to sighted in as possible. At first glance the sightmark looked like a quality unit and turned on perfectly. Good clean bolt laser. Locked back my SA XD9mm 5" , dropped in the boresight and hand lowered the slide back making sure there was no force applied to the laser module. Again, all looked good. Light shone bright, Sighting in my laser and at this stage was pretty happy. Rack back the slide thinking it would extract. nothing. I figured " Maybe im doing it wrong? i dont see a lip for it to grab on so maybe it just falls out..." nope. It was pretty much jammed in the barrel. i shook and shook the pistol with no luck. It was pretty much stuck in there. Pulled the gun apart and couldn't get a grip on the back of the laser with any pliers to pull it out. I next tried to slide a cleaning rod down the barrel in hopes of pushing it out gently. NOPE!! it was pretty much stuck in there. The final solution was to run a long punch rod down the barrel and gently tap it out with a hammer not to ruin the barrel.. but this ruined the laser. Into the trash with my now destroyed Bore sight. I am going to try the .45, .40 and .380 next on hope of better results.. if not.. WASTED $100 on 4 junk bore sights.. i guess lesson learned.

I've been tempted to get some sort of laser boresight for a while, and the acquisition of an H&R Handi-Rifle in .357 finally pushed me over the edge. There's a lot to like about this unit- and a few irritating things as well. Let's start with what I like about it. First of all, it's really easy to use. Insert the batteries, slip it into the chamber, point the weapon at a distant target, and align the red dot with the sight or scope. Simple. It took me less than a minute to get my rifle ready for the range. Second, each unit is individually aligned- you can see the alignment screws used to do this. And last, the price is right. For not much more than the cost of a box of ammunition (more or less) you can align your gun so it will at least put those first shots on paper. The bits I don't like: First: The .38/.357 is a rimmed cartridge- but there's no rim on this boresight. In my .38 S&W K-frame, it slid in until it reached the end of the chamber in the revolver, protruding just far enough to pull it out when I wanted to remove it. In the Ruger Blackhawk, it disappeared into the cylinder, as the cylinder is bored more deeply; luckily it slid out easily. But in my H&R rifle, it disappeared into the chamber and wouldn't come out when I tilted the barrel upwards; it had to be removed with a cleaning rod. Putting a rim on the brass piece that screws into the back would have added a negligible amount to the cost of manufacture but would have made it much easier to use. Second: There's no on-off switch, and battery drain is high. Turning it on and off requires the insertion and removal of two extremely small batteries- easy enough to do at home, but at the outdoor range one or more pieces are liable to disappear. A simple switch could have been implemented a number of ways. Last, the fabric case has a pocket to hold the batteries that's open at one end, and doesn't really hold the batteries very securely. A snap-open plastic case would be more secure, and perhaps cheaper to make as well. For now I'm keeping mine in the bubble packaging it arrived in, but I plan on finding a small translucent polypropylene box I can store the boresight and several spare batteries in it. But the positives outweigh the negatives. This is a very useful piece of gear that's easy to use and cheaper than any decent traditional optical boresight. With the shortage of ammunition and reloading components today, it's a good tool for conserving ammunition, too.

I recommend using a vise to hold the gun firmly in place for the entire zeroing, so that the "point of impact" revealed by the boresight - marked on a target paper in ink - can remain fixed, the battery can be removed, and the point of the adjustable gunsight can be adjusted (whether red dot or laser sight or barrel gunsight) to coincide with where the boresight was set. It fit perfectly the 38 special it was bought for. I thought it might also fit 9 mm, and even 380 cal - it does not. Strangely, the rim is undersized - the ejector of the revolver cylinder does not catch it to eject it - but I don't hold that against the company; the item works as advertised on what it was designed for. The laser was centered perfectly - straight down the center of the bore - for the 50' distance to the target I wanted: rotations of the boresight within the revolver cylinder produced no visible "circling" on the target. Battery life is not advertised to be long - I think it was to be <1hr of actual "laser on" time - so don't waste time. Take out the batteries when you've learned what adjustments need to be made, replace them only when you are ready to actually verify, then remove them again. It's all easy enough.

I used this to zero in my pic rail mounted laser sight for my XDM ELITE OSP 9MM. I originally had my rail mounted laser sight zero'd to my iron sights. At 20' the lateral adjustment required was extremely small to align with this bore sight. I have yet to actually go to the range and do a proper on paper zero. When getting this laser bore sight (LBS) into my barrel, I thought I could slide it into my magazine, insert the mag into the Harwell, then operate the slide gently to insert the LBS into the barrel. The LBS was too long for that. I couldn't get the magazine more than an inch into the magwell. So, I locked the slide back, pointed the barrel down, and through the ejector port dropped the LBS into the barrel, then gently released the slide to gently seat the LBS into place. Got my laser dots to align perfectly at 20 ft. Lockung my slide back, the LBS wouldn't shake out. Went to the kitchen and grabbed a clean plastic drinking straw and pushed it in through the muzzle end of the barrel and was able to unseat the LBS with a firm push. After the LBS was removed I put it back in again to confirm the LBS was perfectly on axis in alignment. It was. Wash rinse repeat. Perfect alignment again Apparently I got a good unit. Some reviewers didn't, or perhaps they damaged theirs in the barrel seating process. Who knows? Anyway, it worked exactly as advertised. I would say its a precisely manufactured product. I recommend and would definitely buy again.

The 9 mm works perfect The .380 Bores Sight that I bought work now I took My Walther a part remove the barrel out of my slide & inserted laser in the Barrel & then removed the laser & inserted a shell and they both fit with the same clearest so I put the and barrel in with the slide with out the sprang & it was still not going flush so I move the barrel in & out and then I seen what was happening the clip ejector was stopping it from going Back the rest of the way. So I put the Barrel and slide assy. Together with the spring, & then slide the assy., back on the weapon. Eased the slide back against the frame and the Ejector was holding it out pulled the laser back out an inserted a shell and it went all the way, so I install the Laser back in pull the slide back and let her and eased it forward slight had a gap so I pull the slide back and let her go, and the ejector when right the bye . So if anything else is need just a very sand on the rim of the Laser and I mean very light . So the error was mine it works and with a little sanding the rim of the laser it ought to work just fine and May any way with out sand ,but I just felt it should have went right bye because the 9 mm did !!! But thanks be to GOD we figure it out. So Sightmark , I owe u guy and An apologize So please accepted my Humble APOLOGIZE. Sincerely, Jack R.

I bought the 9mm SightMark to zero in my Viridian X5L tactical green laser/light ( Viridian Green Laser Sight with LED Tactical Light, with Universal Mount for All Weaver, or Picatinny Open Railed Handguns, Except Sub-Compact Models. ) As you might expect it's a matter of putting the bore sight in, turn on your laser or red dot sight/holosight/scope - whatever sight you use - and your good to go. The laser itself was visible up to 82 feet (25 metres) without problems (this is the maximum distance we shoot at, at our indoor range). As with all red lasers, usage in daylight might be a problem, so I suggest to use it at an indoor range or around dusk. As such the SightMark performs good and is useful. The unit does not have an on/off switch (I guess due to its tiny size), so once you screw the cap on (which holds the batteries) it's on and stays on until you unscrew it again. Note that due to the bullet's trajectory the red dot the bore sight shows you is not 100% accurate. However, for distances up to 82 feet you should not have to worry too much about that with 9mm ammo. So far so good, but the three tiny batteries (AG1, 1,5v Alkaline batteries) that came with the unit are really crappy. Within less that 4 minutes the batteries ran out. However, after a few minutes they worked again. This is due to the nature of how Alkaline batteries work. They loose their voltage really fast and then run out. 4 minutes is way to short to zero-in your gun. If you want better performance, get silver oxide batteries as they do not leak once they get old and have a better lifespan. Prepare for the fact that they are about 75-100% more expensive. All in all a handy, useful tool, but SightMark needs to include better batteries (silver oxide and not dirt cheap alkaline) because it would enhance the "out-of-the-box" experience a lot. For this reason I give it a 3 out of 5. SightMark: if you read this, please deliver this bore sight in the future with better (silver oxide) batteries. For me it's to late but for other customers you should change it.

Bought this for my BRS99 9mm and it worked as described on ad. I buy a lot of Sight-mark gear because of the quality and the reasonable prices like the Reflex Sights that are every bit as good as reflex sights @ twice the price, everything I have purchased from Sight-Mark has worked fine and keeps working when needed as long as you take care of them as described by Sight-Mark. Removing batteries proper storage just common sense kind of things. Also they back up their products along with Amazon's A to Z guarantee. So in my humble opinion you can't go wrong with a Sight-Mark product. But don't get me wrong there are other products that are built better for specific applications and do cost more and in some cases you are only paying for the name as I'm sure Sight-Mark would have a product for the operation you would need an optic for, case in point Mil-Spec.

S adapte parfaitement , marche mieux ( portée ) quand il y a peu de luminosité ambiante Il n y a pas de bouton marche de arrêt ( il faut retirer les piles pour l éteindre ) Il faut retirer la cartouche manuellement ( l extracteur , vu la forme , ne fonctionne pas ) achetez des piles d avance , contrairement sur à la photo , il n y en que 2 ! L étui fourni est inutilisable ( pas de place pour les piles si elles sont déballées ), prévoyez une petite boîte .

strumento molto utile per azzerare la tua 9mm tempo impiegato 2 minuti. molto facile.

Tut gut was es soll, ordentliche Präzision

Zum groben Ausrichten der Waffe auf 10 m ok. An sonst zu geringe Leuchtkraft. Ein Einstellen auf 25 m ist nicht möglich
