Ade Advanced Optics RD3-009-2 Red Dot Sights - Motion Awake - Waterproof & Fog-Resistant -Optic for Pistol S/N: RD3-009-2 Compatible with Doctor/Vortex Venom/Burris Fastfire Footprint

Originally bought this optic for my Glock 22 .40 S&W, it was one of the main results when I searched for Glock Reflex Sights, Ade also makes like a mount plate you can put right on the rear sight, so I figured just go with the same manufacturer for both. Well I never got to add this to my Glock, Mostly because I wanted to learn how to shoot with it without the help of the reflex sight, I just wanted to have the sight available when I was ready. So something else happened that ruined those plans, another reflex sight I had bought for my shotgun completely sucked and failed, and I really wanted to use a sight with the shotgun and I had this one sitting there so I decided to use it on my Remington 870 Express Shotgun. I had a bore sight laser for the shotgun to calibrate the optic but to my surprise the optic was centered right out of the box, I did nothing more than take it out of the box and mount it on the picatinny rail saddle mount on my shotgun, took it to the range and shot some slugs with it, it was awesome, It was so fun and easy to shoot with, Im totally satisfied with this item, Im going to buy another one, this time a green dot sight for my Micro Roni. Really awesome product, and the price is fantastic. Update: It is now 1/19/2019 when I write this. The red dot is still bright still on its first battery. I used this sight frequently, I have used it on my remington 870 express shotgun 12 gauge, then I put it on my Mini-14, took it off when I put a scope and trasferred it to my Glock Micro Roni Carbine Kit, it was shooting .40 S&W & 9MM out of the roni, decided to put it back on the mini 14 which is .223, and now its back on my remington 870 I have bought about 4 high quality red dots, 2 from vortex and 2 from holosun each at least $175 more expensive than this one, those are great as well, mostly because people would give me a hard time about this ade red dot, but honestly there was no need, but I dedicate an optic red dot to each rifle and pistol I have been moving this one around as I substitute it with pricier ones, but this one is still perfect and of comparable performance, but if your on a budget or you just want to test out a red dot and see if they work for you, this is a good start, but even beyond that, its a really good quality, Im surprised its not more popular, this has found its final resting place on the same shotgun I posted my original review about, if your gonna buy another ADE red dot, I suggest you go with this one. They have a green dot one I bought, which is excellent, but I think this one is better. You cant go wrong.

Despite the American flag being on the side of the optics and stating "designed in the USA" this is still made in China. The optics are affordable and for the price point seems well made. Does not come close to the quality of my Holosun red dot but that Holoson costs about 4 time more money. I'll use it at the range and then adjust my rating if needed but out of the box it looks like it will do the job.

Bought this for a joke build for my sar 9. The plan was that I could only buy gun accessories off of Amazon and then I'd see if I could beat my buddy in three gun. I'd say that this is a sub par pistol red dot. The first one I received was very touchy. It wouldn't turn on or off or switch brightness reliably. The one I got as a replacement worked fine. the thing that surprised me was that it held zero. and I didn't baby it. I beat the devil out of it. I didn't smash it on stuff. But after the match I put it through a torture test. This red dots probably got a little less than 700 rounds on it. And it started to just turn off. It isn't broken. It works just like normal when turning it on or off and changing the brightness. It just randomly turns off or changes brightness while shooting. I wouldn't recommend this as a slide mounted pistol red dot. If you're mounting it on something like a Ruger 22 pistol or on just about any rifle that doesn't beat you up when you shoot it it should be just fine. It's just cant handle being battered around sitting on top of a pistol slide. This red dot did what I wanted it to do and I new from the beginning that the cheap stuff on Amazon won't last. So I can't fault it. That should be common sense. I wasn't expecting vortex quality out of this. All and all it's a decent little red dot on a budget. It's definitely larger than a 5moa dot. But who cares. I don't think most people are trying to drive tacks with a red dot anyways. If you're trying to get a red dot for a rifle that's 308 or lower calibre. (I probably wouldn't suggest bolt actions) or a 22 pistol with a rail. This is a good budget friendly option.

To start with, a little background about me - I am an active shooter, shoot several different pistols and rifles, have zeroed in all of my firearms, as well as worked with others to zero theirs in. I am not a novice when it comes to this. For my S&W M&P, I also orders the Ade Advanced Optics Mini/Micro Reflex Dot Sight Mounting Plate for Smith & Wesson M&P, so I can mount this Red Dot to it. I am giving this two stars, because two friends have this, and they work well, unfortunately mine is defective. I ordered this for my S&W M&P after trying it on two of my friends' M&P. After I got mine in, off to a friend's house to install and zero it. It installed easy enough with the correct tools (a site remover makes it easy), and only took maybe 30 minutes, then down to range to zero it in, before we pulled it apart to put all of the screws back in with locktite. I and my friends, have zeroed in many firearms, and for the life of us, we could not get this to zero in. We were able to zero in the elevation, with no issue at all. Unfortunately, we could not zero in the windage, no matter what we did, we could not get the red dot to move left, and we tried everything, taking small, then BIG adjustments both ways, thinking that maybe their documentation meant that if you wanted the red dot to go the left (which actually makes your barrel go to the right) you go counter clockwise, then we went the other way, no luck. We had the elevation zeroed in the first 10 rounds, after 200 rounds no joy for the windage I have called the number on the card included in the Red Dot box and have left a message, so I will update this review after I hear from the vendor, or I just return it. Positive part - I got to throw some lead down range. Update 10JUL17 - Got a return email from the vendor. They are going to ship me another one with a return label. Same day response, can not beat that. I will continue to update this review. Update 13JUL17 - the seller (sports warehouse) sent an email on Tuesday 11JUL17, that a replacement was going out that day and provided a tracking number. As of Thursday 13JUL17, the tracking number is not in the shippers system. After numerous emails, they finally replied and said that it had shipped, the shipper must not have scanned it (I say BS, I have dealt with many shipments, and have not seen any where tracking numbers have not been scanned, either they are stalling or just flat out lying). When I replied back asking what state it had shipped from, and what day did it ship - the reply was that it shipped from Oregon, nothing about the ship date. This gives the impression of a company that is skeptical.

The best $50 I ever spent on a sight. I wanted a red dot for my S&W Victory 22 but wanted to try one of the less costly brands before making the big plunge into one of the big names costing several hundred dollars. I am very glad I bought this Red Dot for $49.99 on Amazon. Installed the sight on Saturday and took it to the outdoor range today, 9/5. Loaded up with CCI Stinger .22's and the very first shot with the AAO Red Shot was right in the center of the bullseye at 10 yards. Perfect, spot on right out of the box. Did not even have to dial it in. Shot over 200 rounds at the range and the sight stayed true on target all day. In addition to the sight you receive a nice plastic cover to protect it when not in use, a spare battery (2 included one already installed), an allen wrench, a jeweler's screwdriver to make windage and elevation adjustments, microfibre cleaning cloth, a metal "coin" to open the battery compartment and instructions. I cannot speak about the long term durability of this sight but my single day at the range made me very happy. Nice addition to my S&W Victory with threaded barrel, Tandem Koss Compensator and Tandem Koss Halo charging handle.

I got this to put on my S&W Victory .22 pistol. Never had a red dot before and didn't want to spring for a Vortex Venom or Burris FastFire and this one looked like an inexpensive alternative. Initially, the unit worked fine. The brightness was good except in very bright sunlight. Easy to adjust POA. The big problem I had was simply trying to locate the dot when raising the pistol to firing position. With no frame of reference to go by, if you point the gun and don't see the dot in the display, you have no visual queue which direction to move the gun to get the dot in place. On top of that, the dot would randomly turn off and on so I never knew if it was my aim or the dot that was off. I think if the red dot sat lower on my pistol it may have been a little easier to aim. I ended up returning it.

Mounted on my G17 using the Ade pistol mount. Screwed directly into mount. Very secure. Good: Very affordable. Easy to turn on and adjust brightness. Red dot is fairly large but works well for target acquisition. For best results, adjust the brightness to the lowest tolerable setting needed to see red dot on target. Used the optic for day and night shooting. Held up to 500 rounds without a change in zero. I even dropped my unloaded weapon on a wood table a few times without any visible damage to the optic. Bad: It has a taller profile than other red dots on the market. (but 1/3 the price) Overall, I am satisfied. Turned my G17 into a carry optic. The red dot is easy to use. **I will update my review if I break it during normal usage.

Worked like a charm I had to dial it in a little but for the price this holds up and the mount I bought for my glock 17 from them fits perfect. took me 5-10 mins to install add some blue loctite.the mount had some extra screws I just used the screws the sight came with. So I have back ups if I ever drop one. Knocking out the rear sights are easy I used the Allen key it came with and a rubber mallet to knock it out super easy. Shot 200 rounds through it help up really good didn't lose a zero. I'll update when I hit 600 rounds. Shot at 10 yards the last two photos speak for themselves I had some get away from me but that's my fault. Going to a different range to try st 25 next time keep you posted
