Not to be a downer, but I’ve read some horror stories about improper mounting leading to issues at the range. It’s crucial to follow the steps carefully or you might end up misaligned.
Good point, Uturner! Safety first! Take your time, and don’t rush the process – it’s worth it in the end!
Does anyone here have recommendations for a budget-friendly red dot? I’m not looking to break the bank but want something reliable.
For budget options, you might want to check out brands like Vortex or Bushnell. They offer decent quality without a hefty price tag. Just make sure it fits your Glock 29!
Nice suggestions! I’ve always been a fan of Vortex for its durability. Also, make sure to read reviews!
This is a great discussion! I’ve been hesitating to install a red dot, but you all are making me feel more confident.
I feel you, Kimberly! Just remember, if it gets tough, take a breather. It’s not brain surgery after all! Just a tiny dot.

Mounting a red dot on your Glock 29 starts by ensuring the mounting plate is clean and free of debris. It’s essential for a secure fit!
Absolutely, and don’t forget to torque it down to the recommended specs. This will prevent any movement during firing.
After mounting, zeroing is the next step. I recommend starting at a distance of about 10 yards for initial adjustments before moving further out.
10 yards sounds good! Adjusting windage and elevation from there can really dial it in.

When you’re at 10 yards, make small adjustments. I usually do 1 click at a time, then fire a group to see where I’m hitting.
What’s the best way to know if my zeroing is correct? Any tips for accuracy testing?

A great way is to group your shots closely. If you’re consistent at 10 yards, try extending to 25 yards to confirm accuracy.
If you’re way off, check if the red dot has moved after firing. Sometimes those screws can loosen up.
That’s true! I had that happen and thought my shooting was off when it was just loose screws!

You can also try using a bore sight to help with initial alignment before heading to the range.
That’s a fantastic idea! Saves time when getting things set up.
Just remember, zeroing can take time. Don’t frustrate yourself if it doesn’t happen quickly. Patience is key!
Exactly! It’s like trying to find the perfect pizza topping combo—takes some trial and error!
