Hello is this used to set up optical and laser sights? this is not like a Ransom rest or is it. And do you have to physically pull the trigger the Ransom rest have a remote trigger. Thanks!!

yes you can sight in optical and lasers. I have a red dot and it worked fine. Here is a link that may help you out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdPS0mOX-I8You don't fire the pistol when its in the rest !!!

Yes this is used to set up sights bot laser and optical. It is not like the Ransom Rest for testing. Not as solid.yes you must pull the trigger manually unlike the Ransom Rest.

The Parallax Pistol Sighting Rest can be used for sighting lasers, fixed scope, or iron sights. I also use it to calibrate my hand loads and evaluate which is best for which gun. As for your question about a mechanical trigger, there is none - you have to putt the trigger yourself (which is setup correctly, your finger is the only part of your hand that touches the gun).

Yes you do. However it should be pretty easy to create something to do that for you. I am thinking a trigger pressure gauge. How many pounds of pull are being used is some other information that is helpful. If you have to use a lot of poundage it is more likely to cause you to veer off slightly. I have a double action only pistol that has a 14 pound pull. I sure wish it were about half that.

By raising the scope you can use a lower power scope, which will allow you to use at short range and still be able to have your iron sights as backup. I would talk to others and maybe take a look at their comments.

So far it works good. I put my gun on a steadyear rest and aimed at a spot I put on the wall about 20 feet away. Then I could adjust the site to the blip it when I pulled the trigger. It helped a lot.

Dave, as far as I know the sights have to be for your specific weapon. I purchased one for my MP Shield. Personally, I didn't like it at all, aim point sucked. it's a fixed sight. Had to aim way high to hit my target. Looks great though..Removed it immediately when I got home from the range.

Thank you for your question. I am not sure if this laser specifically does what you are asking. However, you may be able to try the reset process; back the screws out for both the elevation and windage until there is a thread or two showing on each screw. Then let the laser sit turned off for at least one hour at room temperature then follow steps 1-6. Here are the specs from the dealer. Below are the specs from the manufacturer. - Compatible Firearms: Taurus 738 TCP, Taurus 709/740 Slim models - Power Output: 650NM, 5MW, Class IIIA - Programmable: Dual mode constant on and pulse, auto-off in 6 minutes - Batteries: 3 x 392 - Battery Life: Actual usage 5 hours constant on, 10 hours pulse mode - Material: 55% Glass Filled Nylon and Aircraft Grade 6061 aluminum - Length: 1.52" - Width: .76" - Height: 1.70" - Weight: .75 oz I hope this helps. customerservice@BigGameGear.com

it worked good at first on my sons mossburg tactical ar .22. after about 500 rounds it got to were I had to re-site it in every time he used it. also it uses batteries like crazy and the laser is not hardly visible in the day lite unless your in the shade. this was as crapy as the mossburg it was mounted on and I sold them both as fast as I could! hope this helps you answer a few extra questions you may have had.

Sir - this is a passive optic requiring NO electronics, NO batteries it slides onto a picatinny rail or weaver mount. My sight fit very tightly onto the picatinny rail of my defender shotgun. I had to tap it on with a rubber mallet before tightening the set screws. When you look thru the sight there is a horizontal crosshair line that runs atop a target centering triangle. There are elevation & windage (up/down; right/left) adjustment to "sight in" the optic!

You can remove it and the mount. I think either configuration has its pros and cons. As for the quality of this scope and back up sight they are very poor. I would keep looking for a better product. I had issues with both the scope and backup sight.

It's pretty useless from my point of view. Around the ring of the sight is a piece of what seems like a tape that charges in the sun and then glows at dusk. Since you aim with the pins and not with this, I find it to be pretty useless.

The reflex sight I tried to use was a trijicon (since returned, don't remember model) and it did interfere, with the Prism optics top elevation adjustment knob. I took it off because of that reason. However, I have noticed since that my initial sight-in my initial adjustments my zero has held solid and I have not had to adjust my prism sight, even after taking it off and putting it back on my AR my zero has held. I may have been too hasty on the return. The other option quick release mount for the reflex (fastfire reflex has one I have looked at) would be the other option.

I agree with Tyler. This is a piece of junk. All that mine is good for is a spotting scope at close range. The cross hairs won't move up, down or sideways. It starts to get fuzzy around 26 power. At 32 I can't make out the target at 100feet much less 500 feet. Don't get excited over the price. It's a wonder the price hasn't been lowered so the inventory will move faster.

Be aware, this is a range/target shooting front sight. Fiber optics absorb light only and will not work in low light areas. So for any carry or home defense uses, install night sights.

Is suppose to work if it have the tactical rail "but" i can't recommend it because this particular laser if you notice works with a switch at the end of a cable so might be complicated to operate. Keep looking and you'll find another with a direct switch which goes in front of the trigger for easy operation. Remember, check If your gun have the tactical rail under the barrel.

The firing pin pushes against the back of the sighter when the trigger is pulled, pushing in a switch that activates the laser. Some pistols keep the firing pin depressed, keeping the light on(I.E. Ruger). Some pistols retract the firing pin, turning off the light(I.E. Sig). I guess with a rest, you could sight in the bore usingthe trainer.

I can only answer for my Beretta. They are very tricky in setting the site, but other than that now are one of the best products on the market for the price. I would make it clear on your order which type of firearm you are attaching the laser grip too, that way there is no conflict. They have a very good return policy. Sorry I could not be of more help. Best of luck to you.

This is a gen 1 nv setup. It's the most basic kind and good for seeing at night. I haven't tried it w a sight. But I wouldn't use mine that way. It would probably work best with a laser dot not a scope.

I added this to a rifle I sold to Valley gun...a while back, I never used it for night hunts for wild boar. I would not assume that such features existed powerful on this scope. It was a very inexpensive buy, look for a laser application whether selling or giving it as a gift or you use it.
