Rmr help

[DD_Dinosaur]

I have a trijicon rmr on my ruger 57 and while shooting the other day trying to get it sighted in I found that adjusted all the way down it still is hitting extremely low to where the red dot is. Has anyone else ever had this issue. I have no more adjustment to go down. It is mounted on a Galloway rmr plate for the 57.

I'm sure you already tried this but, have you tried adjusting the opposite direction to see if up is down and down is up?

Gallow makes good stuff. Are you sure it’s not the gun how did it shoot with sights?
Didn’t the 57 have a recall?

I think southern is right adjust it up and see it you hit higher. Also how many yards are you testing it at?

Sorry, I don't have any experience with RMRs but something did occur to me; are you possibly holding the gun at a slight angle? I could see how that might be hard to notice and would most likely affect the sight picture.

I did try up and down and didn't notice any real difference.

Was around 40 yards out.

I could have been. I was just trying to get the dot in picture and then shooting at the target. Now that I recall I do want to say the gun was angled a bit but that was to get the dot on frame. That was with it adjusted all the way up and down. Ill dig a little more when I get the chance to get out to the range.

I would start at 10 yards and work back to 40
Making adjustments as I go that may be your issue.

Wanted to give an update. Took the 57 out this past weekend and started at 5 yards and walked it back to probably around 35-40 yards and got it set up now. I appreciate all the help guys

Curious to hear what the issue was. I have a couple of RMRs and love them - never had any issues dialing them in

Didn't start out correctly. Tried starting to far out

That'll do it. I've definitely made that mistake before. Super frustrating!
