If it were mine, I'd sight it an inch high at 50.

With iron sights, that's as close to "nuts on" as you'll ever need out to almost 100 yards. I haven't run the actual numbers, but if you assume something near 1600 fps at the muzzle, a typical short and blunt pistol bullet will likely be down to about 1000 fps at 100 yards. With the +1" at 50 zero, I'd guess it'll be maybe 4" low at 100 Yards.

I'll check...

Back again. It does a bit better than I thought. It'd be 1" high at 50, on again at 80, just under two inches low at 100, and 4" low at 120 yards. After that, it's "Somewhere UNDER the rainbow..." Velocity is still about 1150 at 120 yards.
