ADE Green Dot Sight with Optic Mounting Plate for Glock, Taurus, Canik & More – Replaces Rear Sight Dovetail
This listing includes
-
ADE RD3-006A Green Dot Sight
-
Pre-assembled Picatinny mounting plate
-
Dedicated pistol mounting plate for Glock (also fits select Taurus and Canik models)
The Glock mounting plate replaces the factory rear sight dovetail on all standard non-MOS Glock models, as well as selected Taurus and Canik pistols. It provides a secure base for popular green dot sights by replacing the rear iron sight.
This Glock plate also fits Taurus GX4, G3C, and G3 with factory steel sights because their rear sight dovetail matches Glock’s exactly. Taurus designed these dovetails based on Glock’s rear sight specifications. Other Taurus models such as G2, G2C, TX22, PT111, and some G3 versions have different dovetail dimensions and require a different mounting plate.
This mounting plate is not compatible with Glock MOS (optics ready) models or Glocks with aftermarket optic cuts.
If you have an aftermarket Glock slide, please consult the slide manufacturer about the optic cut and contact us to confirm compatibility.
For Glock MOS models, you need the official Glock-provided #01 or #05 mounting plate (available free from Glock) to attach the green dot directly. Our plate is designed for standard Glocks replacing the rear sight and is not intended for optics-ready slides.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost awesome
The sight looks amazing; but the glock mount that's suppose to fit didn't so i had to buy another mount that does. It was only 30 which is nothing but still lame i gotta wait another 3 to 4 days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works for Glock 22
It mounted onto my Glock 22, so that’s all matters to me. Have not tried it out yet.
-
I would recommend for the price
Easy to install. The different settings for the brightness are handy. I didn’t have a sight pusher but a hammer and a punch worked fine. Doesn’t feel cheap at all. Fit my Glock 21 perfect
-
Good beginners sight
Bought just as a temporary sight but haven’t changed it yet (2months) very clean and slick design easy to install bright has 5 modes and all are bright worth the price

5/5 stars, one minor issue for me, easily fixed.
This is a great optic for the money, I would definitely buy this again for a different gun. This optic is better for me than my Vortex Venom on my CZ 97b. The ADE green dot is extremely visible, the on/off button is in the center of the optic, above the barrel, not on the side above the slide serrations like the Vortex Venom. This means it’s really unlikely you’ll turn it on or off unintentionally, no matter how you carry it. This came zeroed perfectly, I matched it with a 9mm bore laser and I didn’t have to touch the elevation or windage screws. I have one minor caveat with this ADE green dot, but it’s tiny and I still give this 5/5 stars. I bought this to stick on my Glock 43x (non-MOS) it comes with a metal baseplate which screws into a mounting insert which sits under that, replacing the rear sight. My only issue is the metal insert which goes into the sight slot was far too large to fit without sanding it. The rear sight can be removed with a sight pusher, but the mounting insert is too low profile to install with the pusher (because the base plate has to screw into it from above and sit flat). So I had to install the insert with hammer and punch, but it was too large for the slot. It went about 25% of the way in and got stuck completely, I had to hammer it back out the opposite way. The insert is kind of triangle shaped with a flat top, I had to sand it on the 2 top two diagonal faces until it was bare metal. I just laid a piece of medium grit sand paper down and rubbed it manually, took like two minutes. You do have to be careful that you don’t take too much off or the base plate with optic will slide out. I had sandpaper, it took a couple of minutes, it fits perfect now, no big deal. So what does the Vortex Venom have for $220 that this doesn’t at $68.99? Not a lot to me. The Vortex and the ADE optic both have adjustable dot brightness settings. The battery cover of the Vortex Venom is on top of the optic, which is the only superior design element it has over the ADE optic. On the ADE you have to use an allen key on two screw which connect to the base plate, and remove the whole optic in order to access the battery (you dont have to remove the base plate or the sight insert.) To me this isn’t a deal breaker, dot optics use so little power and it’s really easy to take the 2 screws out of the base plate. Only other difference between the Vortex Venom and the ADE I’m aware of is the on off button. On the Venom the button is on the side where it can too easily be hit by accident. It’s still easily accessible on the ADE (front face, above barrel) but way less easy to hit by accident. Overall, I give this optic a 5/5 for my needs. The ADE has everything I need, and is literally 1/3rd the price of a Venom. A minor amount of sanding isn’t a big deal for me personally so it’s a nonissue.

the oly thing i could say is, the srews came with it to mount the plate ,no screws fit to it,i have to use the same screws from the rear sight and use blue 242 lock tight on the srews,other than that fits on g3c taurus perfectly
