Don’t look anymore for a great pistol reflex site. This is it.
Fantastic reflex “green” dot site for a pistol. I put this one my Ruger Mark IV Lite, got it sited in and I’m shooting 2” groups at 25 yards. And that’s just the first 50 Rounds! It will only get better. The value is fantastic and super easy to adjust. This is the one to get!!

Great sight for the money.
Great sight for the money. I didn’t know if I was going to like a RDS on my Glock 34 so I didn’t want to spend a lot. Glad I went this route. The sight is great, holds zero, and easy to use. My only issue is that will have to remove the sight to replace the battery. Wish there was a cap on top to replace it. That’s my only issue with it.

Great sight at a great price
Very nice sight for the money. Mounted it on my RIA 1911. Not bad. Replacing the dove tail sight adapter was a pain to remove. I suggest a sight tool as it took some TY orque to get off the old sight and put the adapter on as it is very snug. Other than that the sight works awesome!!!

Save 150.00 dollars and give it a try.
This unit mounted as it should. Was easy to zero in and I am astonished at the accuracy. With the cost of ammo I have only shot 50+- rounds and it has held zero. Brightness in full 2pm sun no shade in more than great on the 3rd & 4th settings.
-
I love this product
I am really impressed with the red dot sight, it holds a zero and the brightness is really really good. What I love most is that I receive one that was damage and before I can send The other one back they were already sending me a new one which I have now.

Way to easy to install
Perfect fit, don’t over tighten the screws and use thread lock

Can't be beat for the price
I looked at a lot of optics for my Taurus TX22 and for the cost of the RD3 you would be hard pressed to find a better deal. Easy to mount, easy to sight in and real easy to see even in bright light. I'm so happy with this optic I will be trying one on my EDC 9mm.
-
Great product for the price
Did some research on the best bang for the buck optic, and this thing did not let me down. Great quality and the site is perfectly visible and luminescent during the day, easy to install and dile in, ran over 200 rounds and have not had to re-adjust the sites or retighten. Def feel and see the quality. One happy Glock 23
-
Highly recommend!!
Very great! I’m absolutely in love with it
-
Pretty Solid Purchase for the price
I saw some mixed reviews using this optic on real steel handguns. I personally cannot speak to that as I bought it to put on my Gas BlowBack Airsoft Handgun, and it has worked fantastically. Very little parallax compared to other optics in this price range. Clear sight picture, and it has held zero through all the (admittedly less) airsoft recoil
-
Great little green dot
It’s a good looking optic. I put it on a Ruger mark iv lite. It looks fantastic, I wish the green light was a bit brighter but it’s honestly not horrible. Still able to see clearly in broad daylight. It’s easy to adjust and easy to zero in. It has held its zero perfectly throughout 100 rounds so far! Can’t wait to shoot it more. Makes my gun look that much better.
-
Great sight for the money
You aren't going to get any better than this sub $50. The sight is nice and bright, even during the day. Easy enough to adjust and dial in the accuracy. I mounted mine on an M17 (with rail adapter). It makes a great pistol sight. Fairly low profile and easy to shoot with both eyes open. Remember to loosen the locking screws before making any adjustments to the sights or you could damage the optics.
-
Great Pistol Optic
This optic is great and serves the job for my FN Pistol. The red dot is super bright and the only issue i had with it was it was a little tough to install and the greed dot was not already centered. I also wish the battery port was on the top so you don't have to remove the optic everytime the battery dies.
-
Nice for the price but doesn’t fit Canik TP9SFX
For the price it’s very very nice but it does not fit Canik TP9SFX. The on/off switch is in the front preventing it from a flush seating on the plate. I removed the button guard and it’ll sit flush on the plate but the mounting screws have the wrong threads and it won’t fully install. I didn’t get the chance to use try it on the range.
-
Awesome Optic
Just recently purchased this optic for my handgun and that had a great price. It fit my handgun with no issues the green dot looks great and is very clear. I would recommend this optic for any handgun owner that wants to place an optic on their handgun without breaking the bank.
-
Super High Quality
I mounted this reflex sight on a Glock mod. 40 10mm. The sight mounted very easy, zeroed very easy and kept zero even after 200 + rounds. I have purchased several higher priced similar types that did not possess the quality that this sight has. I am very satisfied with this product and will buy more products from ADE advance optics.
-
Very good value. Very durable, holds zero
Update 12/272019, 700 rounds and still hold zero. Very well made and easy to zero in, moving from the G27 .357 Sig to a 9mm SBR, will update after zero in. Original 1st review: Mounted on G27 .357 Sig. 200 rounds and holds up to g forces and shock of slide. Never drifted from zero sighting. 30 feet, 10 Yards and zeroed in 6 shots. 4 left and 2 clicks down. Will give update at 700 rounds.
-
Great Support
I accidentally stripped one of the mounting screws. Thank you ADE Support for sending me new screws. It worked great until my picartini rail started to wiggle. It is bright enough for daytime use and is not overwhelming in low light.
-
Very sturdy
Great sight put it on and got to range would not turn on. Change battery be for use. Worked great sighted in quickly. Then got home and dropped gun on edge of safe. And it landed on the sight. Bent the housing over the glass and cracked the glass. Was going to purchase another. Wife said go ahead. But I de sided to what. Went back to range and sight was still zeroed and dead on. This sight is well worth the money.
-
A nice entry point into pistol mounted optics
I purchased this optic based on the fact that ADE has a mounting plate for SR series Rugers and they are very reasonably priced. The reviews seemed worthy of purchase and I wanted to try my hand at some modest gun smithing and optical sights on handguns. The sight is very well built and finished. The overall look of the sight is something you would assume costs several times your investment. I am looking forward to taking this to the range to see how it withstands use.
-
It's better than some of the 1-200 models
I put it on a Taurus pt92 like how small it is and with a little modification to my paddle holster it slid in nice. I've had a bushel dot on the the same gun and it was dead on but big and bulky this one holds about a three inch group at about 10-12 yards from the target
-
Excelente mira por el precio
La mira tiene buena calidad/precio. Muy claro el punto que en mi caso es de color verde. Se coloco en una Canik TP9 SFx Mete, pero tuve que adaptar la mira con tornillos más largos que los que trae originalmente la mira.
-
Solid
Feels well built. Easy to install and easy to adjust the reticle. The reticle has multiple bright/dim settings for you preferred brightness. Will update after getting some rounds through.
-
Amazingly fast and accurate.
I should have purchased one of these long ago, it's great. It's much faster than iron sights to get on target after the first shot and it only needed minor adjustments to get it zeroed. Although it was no problem for me while shooting it does seem that they could make the knob used to secure it to the rail a little more compact, it kind of sticks out like a big nose. I will definitely put one on my Ruger.
-
Best bang for the buck
Although it is a cheaper sight, it has help up to .40, 9mm and .556. It holds zero great. I have 3 different ADE sights, I'm a fan now.
-
Good sight on the cheap
I mounted this on a Smith SD9VE with optional mounting plate with no problems. The sight turns on and off with ease ,and was easy to sight in using a laser bore sighter. It has held zero and seems to work just as well as a vortex viper I have on a Canik but a lot less money. I read all the bad reviews and the good ones. It came packaged as new and arrived in 2 days. I would recommend this product. Also easy to see in bright sunlight.

Fits great
Fits great and functions great

Great product but depending what cal & firearm
For the money & price, worth it it! But depending what your planning to install on. I have it on a semi-Auto 22lr rifle, shot a few outdoor bright conditions & works perfect. Now for a handgun, rifle with another caliber larger than 22 I wouldn't, seems good to handle but not for long with such recoil, but if anyone is willing to give it a try go ahead, you get what you paid for. Other than that I'm happy with it with my set up.

Big things in a small package
I was sceptic at first. I’m a firm believer in you get what you pay for. This green dot sight has blown me away. I can drive nails all day with this thing. I shoot 100-200 rounds every weekend and this thing has not lost zero. The scuff marks you see in the rear facing picture, that is just the mounting plate for my pistol and not the sight. I had to sand and file my mount for it to fit my gun. I highly recommend this product and I would buy again.
-
This is a great green dot sight.
I really like this green dot. I mounted it on a S&W SD9VE. It took me about 5 minutes to mount the base and sight after removing the rear sight. I zeroed it with a laser bore sight and went out to check the zero. It was just a few clicks off and easy to get it just right. I've put a couple hundred rounds on target and it has held zero. My accuracy has gone way up from iron sights. I'll nevery look back from here.
-
Good product for the money
Good product for the money. One issue I have is the battery placement. It’s under the device. Which means when the battery dies, you will need to unscrew it. Take it off the mount to change the battery.
-
Buy it!
So far so good! I am surprised by its quality for such a cheap little red dot. I have this on my long range scope offset by 45 degrees. Adjusted well and it works great. Has held zero after firing and storage. Nice that it comes with a molded case cap. If I could gripe over one thing it would be the brightness during day shooting. It isn't as bright as other options, but it's so little that it probably isn't all that different from a 100+ dollar one. It has I think 5 brightness levels. I included some pics with the lowest and brightest. Enjoy

Ade Advanced Optics
This Ade Advanced Optics Green Dot Micro Mini Reflex Sight is more than I expected. I mounted it on a Mauser 1911 22 caliber. I was concerned of making to much adjustment. I contacted customer service about my concerns. Customer service was very easy to deal with. I was told because my gun was a 1911 style I should use a 1 degree shim. The shim was sent out that day. I would highly recommend Ade Advanced Optics to anyone wanting a red or green dot sight.
-
Great product
Fits on weapon great , like it green not red , thanks
-
Awesome sight works amazing for 22LR
I bought the green dot for my Ruger mkiv 22/45. I just put it on and went to the range carried the tools it came with and didn’t need them it shot right in the middle of the lens used the little lift up to center it and move up to the middle from there super easy. I’ve shot well over 1000 22LR rounds with it and no problems at all whatsoever. And with multiple brightness settings you can have it as bright or as dim as you need in any sort of light or no light if you need to use it at night.
-
great product, brtter than ones twice the price
I'm reviewing the ADE tactical reflex dot sight (green dot RD3-006B) I bought this in December of 2020, so I've had some time with it. With that said, the main reason that I didn't give it a 5 star is the fact you have to remove the sight to change the battery. The battery lasts a good while as well (provided you don't leave it on when you put it up). there are 5 different brightness's to adjust for lighter and darker conditions (these work well and I have the green dot (I'm colorblind and the red dot disappears)). Setting it up is a breeze, make sure the locking screws are loose when you set it. It stays where you put it. I definitely would buy another one. this thing is every bit as good as the ones prices 2 to 4 times the cost.

>_> paralax issue?? bright af

Great budget sight for plinking
I bought this for a cheap and fun plinking pistol, a Keltec CP33. The sight has no trouble holding zero, but then 22lr doesn't really challenge it at all. I have an astigmatism so I can't really speak to how crisp the dot is, but for what it's worth it looks about the same as my expensive dot sights to my wonky eyes. Only reason I'm holding back one star is for some minor issues I have with it, but they aren't deal breakers. The mount has one of those massive screws that sticks out the side, I'd prefer having to lock it down with an allen key rather than that giant knob. The other issue is that the lens doesn't appear to have any coatings so I do get some reflections. Either way it's a good low budget sight that suits my purposes and would have no issues recommending it to a friend.
-
It fits an XDM stop asking me if it fits your gun. Unless it is an XDM I don't know the answer.
I mounted this on my Springfield XDM. The hardest part was removing the sight then centering the v-notch that goes in its place. After that using the mounting bracket was easy, and it installed very nicely. The on/off button on the front is easy to hit even with my fat fingers, and the intensity of the dot is quite easy to do. All in all it is a very good sight especially for the price. Most other sights of this quality are going to be in the hundreds of dollars. I don't know if it fits your gun. I have an XDM stop asking me if it fits anything else, because I don't know.

Good Value, Works As Intended
I purchased this for a 22 pistol to see if I like the idea of a Red (green) Dot sight. The unit has good fit and finish and appears to be a quality made product. It includes several different sets of attachment screws which is nice but would be great if they would include an extra set of locating pins are they are extremely small (about 1/8 inch) and very easy to lose. My only complaint is the adjustment screws have a lot of play; for example if I want to adjust the aim, once the set screw is loosened, I may have to turn the adjustment screw 3/4 turn before any resistance, indicating that I am moving the aiming point. Otherwise nicely made and good value for the price. A word of advice for the seller/manufacturer: your product line is confusing and lacks clarity on the differences in your products and intended uses. It would be nice to have better intended usage as well as specs.

I paid $80 and I would pay $120
I put this on my g19 with a mount I bought from wish (yea I know) it all mounted flawlessly but I recommend getting a sight pusher if you do anything with hand guns, out of the box it needed a lot of sight adjustment but after ~8 rounds it shot a consistent 5 inch group at 10 yds I’m not the best with a pistol but I think that’s incredible, I came to realize that if I’m in a active shooter situation I don’t want to fumble around to turn on a sight so I put irons back on and put this on a 223 I had that had no sight at all and once again it took about 8 rounds and it was shooting quarter size groups consistently at 35yds the mount is perfect height for my eye and FOV is pretty nice my friend picked it up and shot it, he ordered one before we even left the range.
-
Honestly I can't complain
I bought this because it was cheap and available in the footprint I needed fully expecting it to 100% fail. I was thinking it was, at best, for airsoft guns. 3 years and 1000+ rounds of 9mm, including +P, later and it still works. The zero is still true, the glass is still clear, and the only thing I have had to do is change the battery. I wanted it to fail to justify spending money on a Vortex but it just hasn't given up on me yet.

Good Price, Acceptable Quality - Don't forget to tighten the locking screws!
First of all, I'm new to firearms. Less than a year. Have plenty of military and LEO friends who provide a wide range of advice and experience. That said, all discouraged me from "cheap" or "inexpensive" optics, such as the ADE brand. I watched several videos, read several reviews on this particular model (RD3-006B) and the evals were mixed. Decided at the price point, it would be a fine experiment. Green is easier on my eyes, hence this model. Installed a DPP titanium rear sight dovetail adapter on a Glock 19 with the included Loctite blue on the screws. Installed the RD3-006B on it (I don't think I used Blue though...) Zeroed it with a bore sight laser at 7. Made sure the elevation and windage screws were tight. Took it to the range (only have indoor in the area that's affordable for me). After 100 rounds, it held zero. After the second hundred, it had moved up just a tiny bit, I almost could not tell. Still able to put shots where I wanted well within a 3" area. Another 100 rounds and the elevation change was more noticeable. Still had shots acceptably were I wanted. Re-zeroed and fired strong hand, less accurate, but still pretty close to where I wanted. Fired weak hand...let's just leave it at that....Finally, for fun, sent it down 25. I can't see that clearly at that distance...but put 7/10 on the paper. Less of those were even close to where I wanted, but that's NOT the fault of the sight of course (nerf aging). All in all, for me, I felt it performed well for what I paid. I should recheck if I used Blue when mounting it into the dovetail adapter as that could account for the slight elevation changes. Never needed to touch the windage adjustment during use. The dot is easy to see. The adjustable brightness levels make is easy to find a comfortable brightness. I don't like the power button on the front, but that's a personal preference. Point is, be honest with yourself about your expectations. If you buy this at $70-ish dollars expecting the quality and performance of a $200+ Holosun, Sig, or a "Brand Name X" , YOU WILL NOT GET IT. If you buy the RD3-006B understanding it's NOT "Brand X" and will NOT perform as "Brand X" but WILL get the job done with maybe an occasional need to re-zero (a tiny bit), you won't be disappointed. In a year, with more experience, my view may change. However, with my limited experience with firearms NOW, it's a good buy in my opinion and I'm keeping it.

At its price point the sight is well designed and engineered. Beware, battery NOT included!
At its price point, this sight is well designed and engineered. It has a clear, bright green, MOA 3 dot display at all five brightness levels. The On/Off illumination control ("one button does all" ) is positioned on the front of the sight for one finger operation. Its controls are simple and easy to use, just keep remember, it does not have Auto Off function. Also, contrary to the product description, it will fit both picatinny and weaver rails. It come with a very basic manual, tools for adjustment, rubber sight cover and rail mount, but DOES NOT come with the CR2032 battery, which is stated, as part of the complete package, (see Description >Features & details>forth (4th) bullet remark, bottom of statement. "CR2032 battery included ") explaining why, I gave it only a 4 star rating. IMPORTANT NOTE: As stated in the owners manual. It's very important to completely loosen the two small set screws, on the back of the sight, before adjusting elevation and windage screws! After you have finished making your adjustments, apply a type of "Blue Loctite" on the both set screws and tighten firmly. (not not over tighten)

I put this on my g19 with a mount I bought from wish (yea I know) it all mounted flawlessly but I recommend getting a sight pusher if you do anything with hand guns, out of the box it needed a lot of sight adjustment but after ~8 rounds it shot a consistent 5 inch group at 10 yds I’m not the best with a pistol but I think that’s incredible, I came to realize that if I’m in a active shooter situation I don’t want to fumble around to turn on a sight so I put irons back on and put this on a 223 I had that had no sight at all and once again it took about 8 rounds and it was shooting quarter size groups consistently at 35yds the mount is perfect height for my eye and FOV is pretty nice my friend picked it up and shot it, he ordered one before we even left the range.

Honestly I can't complain
I bought this because it was cheap and available in the footprint I needed fully expecting it to 100% fail. I was thinking it was, at best, for airsoft guns. 3 years and 1000+ rounds of 9mm, including +P, later and it still works. The zero is still true, the glass is still clear, and the only thing I have had to do is change the battery. I wanted it to fail to justify spending money on a Vortex but it just hasn't given up on me yet.

Good Price, Acceptable Quality - Don't forget to tighten the locking screws!
First of all, I'm new to firearms. Less than a year. Have plenty of military and LEO friends who provide a wide range of advice and experience. That said, all discouraged me from "cheap" or "inexpensive" optics, such as the ADE brand. I watched several videos, read several reviews on this particular model (RD3-006B) and the evals were mixed. Decided at the price point, it would be a fine experiment. Green is easier on my eyes, hence this model. Installed a DPP titanium rear sight dovetail adapter on a Glock 19 with the included Loctite blue on the screws. Installed the RD3-006B on it (I don't think I used Blue though...) Zeroed it with a bore sight laser at 7. Made sure the elevation and windage screws were tight. Took it to the range (only have indoor in the area that's affordable for me). After 100 rounds, it held zero. After the second hundred, it had moved up just a tiny bit, I almost could not tell. Still able to put shots where I wanted well within a 3" area. Another 100 rounds and the elevation change was more noticeable. Still had shots acceptably were I wanted. Re-zeroed and fired strong hand, less accurate, but still pretty close to where I wanted. Fired weak hand...let's just leave it at that....Finally, for fun, sent it down 25. I can't see that clearly at that distance...but put 7/10 on the paper. Less of those were even close to where I wanted, but that's NOT the fault of the sight of course (nerf aging). All in all, for me, I felt it performed well for what I paid. I should recheck if I used Blue when mounting it into the dovetail adapter as that could account for the slight elevation changes. Never needed to touch the windage adjustment during use. The dot is easy to see. The adjustable brightness levels make is easy to find a comfortable brightness. I don't like the power button on the front, but that's a personal preference. Point is, be honest with yourself about your expectations. If you buy this at $70-ish dollars expecting the quality and performance of a $200+ Holosun, Sig, or a "Brand Name X" , YOU WILL NOT GET IT. If you buy the RD3-006B understanding it's NOT "Brand X" and will NOT perform as "Brand X" but WILL get the job done with maybe an occasional need to re-zero (a tiny bit), you won't be disappointed. In a year, with more experience, my view may change. However, with my limited experience with firearms NOW, it's a good buy in my opinion and I'm keeping it.

Fantastic sight!
I'd done some research for micro pistol sights. Wanted to update my Browning Buckmark. Definately NOT have much money to spend, I purchased a TS picatanney rail and this sight. RD3-006B (Green dot) It was so easy to install and power on. Being I was inside and it was dark out, looking at the brightest setting, I thought that was way too bright. But finally getting to shoot yesterday, being outside made me certainly take back that initial thought. Shooting with alot of sunlight, that #5 setting brightness was great to have. (having options are great!) The size of this is perfect. Not to big and not to small. You must remember to "unlock" the lock-set screws prior to adjusting the movement screws. However, once you get the sight dialed in, tighten the lock screws and you're in business. I shot over 100 rounds yesterday and it stayed zeroed in.

Fantastic optic
What a great pistol optic!! I recently mounted this on a Taurus TX22 for competition speed shooting. It's light, easy to mount and I love the five brightness settings. It's even easy to see in bright sunlight. Using it at last week's competition, I took more than ten seconds (about 20%) off my time when compared to iron sights. I was concerned adding the extra weight on the slide of .22 would not allow it to cycle properly but it proved not to be an issue at all. Due to the small window, it seemed like it took forever to acquire the dot for the first shot. I wish it were just a little bigger but that would add more weight and may affect the cycling of the slide. With a larger caliber, that may not be an issue but for what I need it for, my .22, I love it. Would definitely buy again.

Great optic
Got this for one of my pistols. It was easy to install and sight in. It’s held its zero. Good brightness and easy to use.
-
Very clear I structions.
As. Shootest I was familiar with mou ting the sight. The nice past was the very clear I suction on sighting it in. I was impressed with them. With my bore sight I was able to match the dots quickly and accurately. It is on my ATI AR410. Nice addition.
-
Exactly as described
This is an optic for our Ruger SR22 pistol.

Well made range red dot
This red dot is made well and works pretty good . While I probably wouldn't use it on my EDC, it's a good red dot to hang around and use at the range. Time will tell! Hopefully it holds up and if not, hopefully they honor their warranty!

Very happy with my purchase
Very happy with the quality of the product. If it's my p s a doctor cut dagger just like described. Shipping was fast. I will definitely purchase more products from this vendor in the future

Good Optic
This Optic was a direct mount on a Doctor cut PSA Dagger Compact. After direct mounting the site using the rubber dampener then the optic on top, laser sighting it in and locking down the windage and elevation screws I'm happy to report 200 rounds later of 124 grn 9mm grind hard ammo the site works perfect. Never lost zero or malfunctioned, and It does co-witness with iron sites. Very surprised for the price this thing even worked and the brightness levels are perfect. I highly suggest using the supplied rubber mount and be sure to tighten down the windage and elevation screws after sighting it in. Just ordered another one for my other PSA Dagger Compact Doctor cut build. Cheers.

Easy install.
Easy to install. Odd on/off area for switch. Lower illumination, perfect green dot, Highest setting has a little spike to the upper left. I do like the unit, after 100 rounds will update. Just a target sight for a Glock (had to move sight to the right so far it looked odd). I will say a good buy. 3 inch 6 inch plates go down 10 ring constant hits10, 15, 25 yards, yahoo.

Fantastic optic for low price
Recently shot 100+ rounds over the weekend and it stayed mounted and didn't experience any issues, I ran this on a dpp mount for my springfield XD9 and right out of the box this thing was dialed in didn't have to adjust the sight one bit results will be different but it was a shock for me. overall great optic for it's price especially if you are not trying to go broke getting a optic for a pistol.

victory .22 works great
put this on my 22 pistol and so far it has held up to me shooting, never comes loose. the one thing I would say is that the dot isn't that crisp of a dot. but you are getting what you paid for so be happy with it lol or go spend the 200$
-
the price optic is great
I mounted it to my 9mm glock and fit model 19 as described. I bore sighted optic, ok no problems. Haven't had tme to range test yet. This red dot optic looks and operates just like the more expensive red dots.I love the price, but the only draw back is the warranty coverage compared to the more expensive optics.

GET VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY
GET VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY ITS ALTERNATIVE TO HIGH IN RED DOT LIKE RMR ETC. AND ITS BETTER TO THOSE CLONE RMR , THIS IS GOOD BRAND AND TUR TO THERE VALUE AND PRODUCT WHAT YOU PAY WHAT YOU GET. i USE THIS TO MY TAURUS TX22 IM PRESS THE QUALITY..!!!
-
So far its seems like a good deal. Easy setup and easy adjustments
I installed the red dot ( green dot) a few days ago. Got it setup at home the best I could. Took it the range, made one adjustment and fired 100 rds through it with no problems. It works as good as any red dot that I have ever used. Its really hard to beat for the price.
-
Love it.
Love it. Shipping was fast. Clarity is good. Came with and extra battery.

ADE green dot
What more can I say but you can't beat the price, durability,and function. This great little sight is just what I needed for my Canik tp9sfx. I own mostly Sig products and seems to be just as good as they are. Thanks for producing a quality sight at a affordable price.
-
Excellent product for price!
Bought it with doubts due to price difference from most entry level sights. Works great, had dialed in within 6 shots and have not had to adjust since. The only downside is the dot is dim on almost all but max brightness settings. However, I am leaving as a 5 star because I live in Las Vegas and it is extremely bright all day. Have not shot at night, but assume it would be much easier to see on lower settings.

Improves My Colt Defender Sights
My Co2 Colt Defender has somewhat loosy gun sights so said Green Dot Sight is needed to remedy such a flawed design aspect. The dot sight has 04 brightness settings(the latter two only matters) which greatly improves the overall precision shooting experience. The installation of this item (like with most add-ons)was a minor chore to do. All in all,I'm quite pleased with the final outcome.

Works like a charm
Easy install and actually holds zero pretty well on my tp9sfx. Only complaint would be the power button, it's kind of in an awkward spot on the very front of the optic.
-
F×$%!@& AWESOME
Its awesome! Not water proof but itll definitely hold zero, I left it out and my toddlers used it to play catch the optic and some wallball AND IT HELD ZERO. After a box it still held on the 9mm. With no parallax or star shaped dot I will definitely recommend this company. I might trade it in for the waterproof RD3-009 but I think I prefer the green dot over red. Either way you'll be shooting with both eyes wide open w/o problems. Just buy it dude it's worth the money

Read before you buy a more expensive sight.
Not a bad sight. Works as well as my $300 vortex red dot. Makes me wonder why I ever spent that much in the first place. You can buy a more permanent base made for your gun for around $20, then mount this sight to it. So for less than$75 you get the same result as a $300 plus red dot sight. You can sight it in with the quick release mount it comes with then take it off for storage. When you want to use it again Just snap it back on and it will still hit within 3" of center without adjusting. Unless your trying to hit a squirrel in the head that's plenty close enough.

Long term
Fits nice battery last a long time
-
Make sure this fits your needs
Really good product, really good seller. The pistol I bought this for has tall sights. You have to loosen the screws on the back of this sight to adjust it, then tighten the screws again. With tall sights, you cannot access the locking screws without removal, then it is not zeroed anymore. Not a bad product, just didn't work in my application. I ordered a different style, but keeping this for another project. Still give 5 stars.

Green Dot
Haven't got a chance to use it but it seems to look pretty good time will tell
