Hi there I get a S&W 40VE and my question its that If get this sight I need to calibrate it? or its already calibrated?Thanks a lot!

I am not sure what you mean by calibrate, but it may require some adjustment to be perfectly sighted in at your desired distance. It includes tools for making the adjustments and some rudimentary instructions.

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface.Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.

I would tell you the answer to this but when i got my order the laser was missing from the box. You can get a similar laser at Walmart

You must calibrate this laser sight,the easiest way to do this is to obtain a bore sight and turn both on and make the lights into one.this will get you very close ,by the way this sight is very easy to calibrate,good luck and hope this helps

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.

I'd guess that it refers to the fact that the display is not ultra-high res (Retina, true to output, what have you); I've also heard that there's some sort of down sampling issue with older bodies. That said, the VF-4 display has been more than adequate in my use on a E-PL5. I haven't had an issue composing with this at all, and it's far better than the VF-2 I had prior. I actually prefer the removeable rangefinder, as the M43 format is ideal to often shoot without- but it's great to be able to clip one on when doing certain types of shooting. The only compromise I've found with this isn't the resolution, but more that when you do use it vs a built-in rangefinder, it takes over the hotshoe, so you have to use external flash. Hope that helps a bit.

I purchased this sight system for a son. He seems to like it and has had no problems with the sighting system. Hope this helps you out.

The Acog is great, but there are the same type "calibrated" per weapon platform. Best advice is check Trijicon main site to verify the scope fits your platform needs.

When you open the box,this scope is sighted in to be almost dead center. I still have my scope and have had no issues with it.

I don't have a S&W; M&P; 40. I do have a Sig 220 and 229 and it works on both of them. take that for what it's worth.

I haven't had that problem but I am not completely happy either with my own issue. The windage knob on the rear sight moves when I change the sight aperture from large to small. This obviously changed my zero. I kept them only because I was looking for a work around and they were relatively inexpensive. They had good reviews but I wouldn't buy again.

Mine sighted right in no problem. Try remounting it and use a bore sighter, if you can't line it up without using too much adjustment it could be a problem with the sight itself.

Not very much. Probably due to the short barrel and the design.I am having an issue with inconsistent zero. (scoped model). Scope and mount are tight.Shots are sometimes on the bullseye, but then are about 2 inches off, bothhorizontally and vertically, then closer, etc. without changing the scope zero. (At about 30 ft.). My other Crosman springer (Phantom 1000) is very consistent.

Did you install the rear sight? If so, how did everything turn out? Do the front and rear sights line up and provide accuracy? I have the 590A1 and am looking forward having this kit installed. thx for the feedback.

Yes and no........it is necessary to remove the sight from the mounting plate which stays screwed securely to the slide. After replacing the battery into the underside if the sight, the sight will remount and return to exact zero by means of the registration / alignment pins along with the exacting alignment of the mounting screws. So, if your concern about removing the sight to replace the battery would require re-zeroing, your concerns are unwarranted. Mine is mounted on a FNX-Tactical .45 and it performs incredibly well...just like all Trijicon products. Buy it and enjoy much more accurate shooting. I hope this information has been helpful.

I would recommend going with crimson trace or laserlight products. This will fit your VE. However I would not recommend this product. It's not well made at all. As far as why it's rated one way and reviewed another I can't answer that. Another issue you will have is holsters. There are no holster manufacturers out there that are making something for this accessorie. Not good ones anyway.

A little loss of accuracy is to be expected yes. Nothing you can't overcome with practice though. They are defensive sights so you trade a little accuracy for speed. Plenty good to be practically accurate however.

have you shot it without the 3 power magnifier. I have one on a AK47 and it is pretty good. The shooter is more of a problem than the sight and gun when it is me. Try it on another weapon.

The documentation of this product did not say anything about calibration. Thus I assume it is already calibrated at the factory. But you bring up a good point. What if at some point the calibration may be off and what do we do? Documentation said nothing about this.
