Crimson Trace is good. Part of your problem with zeroing may be the fact that the laser is offset from the bore both vertically and horizontally. If you get it set to where the bullets hit the dot on the target at 7 yards it will be off at both vertically and horizontally 3 yards and at 10 yards. I would pick a reasonable distance (7 yards is reasonable) and zero it there. Then try it from 3 yards (or even 1 yard) out to maybe 15 yards or even a little farther. As long as the POI is still within maybe 3 inches of the dot at the nearest and farthest distance you are probably ok. You might also keep the distances and directions of the offsets in mind in case you ever need to make a precision shot, or at least know that when you are really close the POI is above and to the left of the dot, and that when you are farther away the POI is below and to the right of the dot. The lasers mounted vertically below the bore axis avoid the horizontal offset but still have the vertical offset problem.
You think you will never need to make that precise of a shot? Never say never. What about the pit viper one foot from where you are standing? You might like to make a head shot on that one instead of a near miss or a slight wound.
