Ade Stingray is Designed to be the smallest and lightest red dot to fit any pistol mounting plate/slide/cut that is compatible with Trijicon RMR/SRO(both type 1 and type 2 RMR), Holosun 407C/507C/508T footprint red dots. The overall length is around 15-20% shorter than other major red dots on the market. The shorter design allow this sight to be able to sit in to all optic cuts/plates/adapters that are designed for RMR footprint. For some optics ready pistols with a larger optic cut, there might be a gap between the rear of the Stingray and pistol rear iron sight.
Ade Stingray created an iron sight curve at the end of the body, and also added two white dots on the curve. For the rear of part of the red dot to become a back up iron sight. With the ultra short design, the red dot provides a distance/gap on some full size optics ready pistol, to give enough distance to be a Co-Witness back up sight, in addition to the LED dot and pistol equipped iron sight. For non-optics ready pistols that need to use an optic plate/adapter to replace the pistol manufacture equipped rear sight, ADE Stingray's rear white dot will act as a pistol factory original rear sight for Co-Witness.

Just like $400 RMR competitors, It does not has a on/off power button. The light turns brighter or lower automatically. If you do not use it, put the provided rubber cover on it, then the sight will be "sleeping" in a very very low power mode.

Outstanding Value and Reliability
I've been shooting for over twenty years and have accumulated optics from nearly every major manufacturer. The Stingray was purchased on a whim because I wanted to try an affordable RMR-footprint optic on a backup handgun. The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to acquire the dot. The window size provides a generous field of view without making the optic feel bulky. Zeroing took only a few minutes, and the adjustments were predictable and positive. During the following months, I used it for range practice, steel challenge events, and several training classes. What really impressed me was consistency. The optic continued to hold zero despite a steady diet of 9mm ammunition and frequent handling. The battery compartment remained secure, the controls stayed responsive, and the lens coatings held up well to cleaning. While it may not carry the price tag of some premium brands, it delivers dependable performance where it matters most. For shooters looking to enter the red-dot world without spending a fortune, the Stingray is an easy recommendation.

Not Quite Right for My Eyes
Unfortunately, the dot looked slightly fuzzy to my eyes compared to another optic I own. I understand this may be related to my eyesight rather than the optic itself. It functioned properly and held zero, but I ultimately chose a different sight for my setup.

Survived More Abuse Than Expected
This optic has been through far more abuse than I originally intended. Between weekly range trips, several practical shooting matches, and bouncing around in a range bag, it has proven surprisingly durable. The sight picture is clean with minimal distortion around the edges. Adjustments tracked correctly during zeroing, and once set, the optic stayed put. Rain, dust, and a few accidental bumps against barricades haven't caused any issues. What stands out most is the value. There are certainly more expensive optics available, but for recreational shooters and competitors on a budget, the Stingray offers a lot of performance without draining your wallet. It's become one of my favorite optics in its price range.

Good Sight with One Minor Complaint
The optic works well and has remained zeroed on my Canik for several hundred rounds. My only criticism is that the brightness buttons are a little small when wearing gloves. Other than that, the glass quality, dot clarity, and overall performance have been very good. I would still buy it again.

Fast Target Acquisition
The larger window on the Stingray really helps with fast target transitions. I noticed an improvement in my draw-to-first-shot times almost immediately. The optic feels sturdy and the controls are straightforward. No complaints after multiple range sessions.

Impressed After Six Months of Use
When I purchased this optic, I wasn't expecting it to compete with optics costing three or four times as much. I simply wanted an affordable red dot for local competitions and weekend range trips. After six months of ownership, I can honestly say the Stingray exceeded my expectations. The housing feels solid, adjustments are repeatable, and the dot remains easy to see even on bright summer days. I particularly like the wide field of view compared to some of the smaller micro red dots I've used. I've recommended it to several friends who were hesitant to spend premium optic money. Every one of them has been impressed with the performance for the price.

Installed on My Glock Build
I mounted the Stingray on a Glock 19 MOS using an adapter plate. Installation was simple and the sight zeroed quickly. The large viewing window makes it easy to find the dot during presentation. I've put roughly 800 rounds through the pistol and haven't experienced any issues. Battery life has been excellent so far and the brightness settings are easy to adjust. Definitely considering another one for a second handgun.

Great Budget RMR Alternative
I've owned several pistol optics over the years and picked up the Stingray mainly for a range gun. After several months of use, I'm pleasantly surprised. The dot is crisp, the glass is clear, and it has handled regular range sessions without losing zero. For the price, it's one of the better values I've found. ★★★★★

Great Window Size and Fast Target Acquisition
I've owned several pistol optics over the years, and the Stingray quickly became one of my favorites. The larger viewing window makes it much easier to find the dot during presentation. Installation was straightforward on my RMR-cut slide, and zeroing only took a few magazines. The optic has stayed solid through several range sessions and hundreds of rounds. For the price, it's hard to beat.

Stingray RD3-019
So far so good but only had it installed for about a month. The only issue I had was the provided screws were too short for my installation on my aftermarket slide. Once I found the correct screws, it was easy peezy to install. Red dot is nice and big and bright (5 moa I think) and it fit perfectly secure on my RMR cut slide. Easy to zero and the price was great. Only wish this model had a side battery compartment and on/off switch. I'd would not hesitate to buy another stingray or ADE product. Tony was also very helpful.

ADE Stingray
The packaging was great and everything arrived undamaged. The screws that came with the optic were too long and did not secure the optics firmly to my rmr cut slide. I'll have to go to the hardware and find some shorter screws.
