Unfortunately LaserMax's are fixed on both axis. I was a bit skeptical at first - but it's dead on and a close bore axis is nice and easy to compensate for distances. permalink parent save report block reply ▲ 5 ▼ – LoneStarDangler 5 points 250 days ago +6 / -1 On a HD pistol it doesn't make a lot of difference. For something intended for longer range or a carbine though... Converging zero is a mess, even more so if it's side mounted. permalink parent save report block reply ▲ 2 ▼ – deleted 2 points 250 days ago +2 / -0 ▲ 2 ▼ – deleted 2 points 250 days ago +4 / -2 ▲ 11 ▼ – Winston [S] 11 points 250 days ago +11 / -0 You ever have a laser dot from a weapon pointed on your chest?

depends on the zero'd distance.
closer distance zero = higher for further away. further distance zero = lower for closer.
Good to know.
