The process of calibrating a laser aiming module to align precisely with a firearm’s bore axis ensures accurate shot placement. For example, aligning a device mounted on a pistol slide necessitates matching the laser’s point of impact with the bullet’s trajectory at a given distance.
Precise alignment enhances accuracy, particularly in low-light conditions or for rapid target acquisition. This capability has become increasingly valuable in various applications, from military and law enforcement to recreational shooting and competitive marksmanship. Historically, aiming relied solely on iron sights or telescopic optics; the advent of laser aiming devices has offered a significant advantage in certain scenarios.
