For decades I always like sighing my hand guns in for a half to one inch high at 25 yards.
For many bullets out of many common calibers I found that this sight in allows me to make shots out to 75 yards and be with in a couple of inch's of my point of aim.
With higher velocity calibers like a 125 357 at 1300fps plus a 75 yard zero makes even more sense. Allowing dead on hold out to 100 yards and still be within a few inches of point of aim
As we know that most self defense shooting happen at really close range one isn't hurt my a longer sight in distance being. Ones bullets well strike with in a half of inch at the closer ranges.
But if ever needed one simple has to hold dead on at the longer ranges and know that ones bullet well hit very near ones point of aim.
On the slower velocity calibers with bullets less the 900 fps a 35 or 40 yard zero could make more sense as the bullet drop at these lower velocities is greater.
Opting for the max range were ones bullets strike within strike with in an inch or 2 through out their flight can make a lot sense
