Whether mechanical or as a compensation for some physical "limitation" (for lack of a better word), it doesn't really matter. All that matters is that it hits where you want it to hit.

    Given 2 or 100 shooters, in the prime of their life, with excellent fundamentals, and high quality equipment, I have found that a "zero" is a zero, regardless of the individual.

    That can and will change from group to group.

    Anecdote that I don't know as much about as I would like: During Vietnam, snipers and spotters would share one sniper rifle, in order to give the sniper a rest from looking though the scope. Whether it was ever a problem or not, IDK. Guns were also less precise then, so again, IDK.

    That makes 100% sense. Thanks!

    My wife and I can't use the same sight settings.

    I am right handed and right eye dominant. I had an injury to my eye years ago and I wear a contact lens in my right eye in place of the natural lens.

    My wife is left handed and left eye dominant. She had a detached retina that healed itself some time in the past. She says there is also a possibility that she was dropped on her head as a baby. (joke)

    In close there isn't much of a problem, but at 25 yards there is 3 or 4 inches difference in POI. Of course, I've seen that much just changing bullet weight.

    I don't see how any pistol could be exactly "zeroed" for all shooters and all ammo. They could be close, but not good enough for precise work for very accurate shooters.
