The ADE NUWA is the first (and only) red dot sight with an RMS/RMSc footprint that features a top battery loading system. This design allows you to change the battery without removing the sight, eliminating the need for re-sighting and saving ammunition. The battery life ranges from approximately 500 to 800 hours, depending on the brightness setting.

Plus any pistol/mounting plate/slide with RMS/RMSC screw pattern/footprint.
For non-optics-ready pistols that require an optic plate or adapter to replace the factory rear sight, the ADE NUWA's rear white dot functions as the original rear sight, allowing for co-witnessing.
Constructed with hard-coated aircraft aluminum and multi-coated glass, the ADE NUWA offers superior durability and clarity compared to models with plastic bodies and polymer lenses.
The ADE NUWA features a 2 MOA red dot and weighs approximately 15.5 grams (0.55 oz). Its dimensions are 1.5 inches in length, 0.88 inches in width, and 0.89 inches in height.
It comes with screws for several Optics Ready handguns but does not include any mounting plates, such as a Picatinny mount or plates made for specific handguns.
ADE Nuwa incorporates an iron sight curve at the rear of the body, featuring two white dots. This design allows the rear part of the red dot to function as a backup iron sight. Its ultra-short design provides sufficient distance on some full-size optics-ready pistols for co-witnessing with the pistol's equipped iron sights and the LED dot.
For non-optics-ready pistols that need an optic plate or adapter to replace the factory rear sight, the ADE NUWA's rear white dot serves as the original rear sight, enabling co-witnessing with the red dot sight.
The ADE Nuwa is manually activated using the on/off switch. To turn it on or off, press and hold the switch for 2 seconds. Adjusting the brightness is achieved by quickly pressing the switch to cycle through low to high settings.
For pistols that are not optics-ready and require an optic plate or adapter to replace the factory rear sight, the rear white dot on the ADE NUWA will serve as the original factory rear sight, enabling co-witnessing.
The ADE NUWA comes with 3 pairs of screws specifically for Sig P365XL/X, Springfield Hellcat OSP, and Canik TP9 Elite SC only. Please note that the provided screws may not be compatible with every pistol listed. ADE designs the red dot to accept the industrial standard footprint, but manufacturers of the pistols may have their own specifications for screw types used in the optic cut/slide.
ADE does not have specific information on the screw specifications used by every pistol manufacturer for their screw holes. It's recommended to contact the pistol manufacturer directly to inquire about the screw specs and obtain the appropriate screws. If you encounter difficulties, visiting a local hardware store like ACE Hardware is advised to find the correct size screws.

By soliciting feedback from both clients and end users in 2010, Ade Advanced Optics was able to overcome the challenges a new company often faces when entering a global market and industry, especially one as competitive as the shooting, hunting, and outdoors industry.

Perfect Fit on Shield Plus
The sight fit perfectly on the Shield Plus without a need for an adapter plate. This allows the rear sights to still be usable as a backup. Many brightness settings allowing for the 2 moa dot to still be easy to pick up quickly. The battery is easily replaceable without having to remove the optic. I personally don't like the 90 minute auto shutoff and would have preferred a "shake awake" instead. Overall, it's a very good "budget-friendly" option for the Shield Plus.

Holds up to recoil
Have several hundred rounds through my g43 works very very well, excellent for the price

Didn't work right out of the box...
The device wouldn't come on. The surface area of the battery contact was badly scratched/damaged. This is clearly not a brand new device. I input a brand new battery, (making sure of the correct orientation) but still no go. I am requesting a replacement and I will update the review then. Update - the return and replacement process was seamless and impressive. I received the replacement a day earlier than promised. The surface area of the replacement is very scratched, as well. This one works, however. It has never been my experience to receive a brand new item showing this level of wear. I have other red dots (Crimson Trace, Bushnell, Sig Sauer, et al) as well as other ADEs. Some have battery slots as opposed to top or bottom-loading options. Of those that do top/bottom load, I can't recall this level of wear. The replacement was easy to sight in @ 10'; zero held through several mags with no problems. I am happy with this one and am upgrading the rating from 1 star to 4 stars.

Tiny but nor bad
Small gun = small dot. good brightness but a pain in the rear to adjust & turn on/off. The big + is the top loading battery!! Budget dot works well on budget pistol.

Amazing . . And could be perfect
I've had red dots from Crimson Trace, Swampfox, Sig, DeltaPoint and Holosun among others. The NUWA is one of my favorites regardless of price. - It's incredibly low profile permits co-witness with almost any stock iron sights. - The tiny size fits well on the smallest subcompacts. - The glass is incredibly clear and distortion free. - The dot is small and uniform enough to give a good sight picture on even small or distant targets. - The metal construction feels solid and the fit and finish is excellent. - The single control button works very well, giving positive feedback and no inadvertent changes. - The top loading battery can be changed without removing the sight and losing zero. The missing piece: no way to keep the sight turned on while carrying. The unchangeable 90 minute shut-off makes it completely unsuitable as a carry gun--which is a shame because it would otherwise be ideal for concealed carry. It's asking way to much to get shake-awake in a unit this small at an incredibly affordable price. I for one would happily pay twice as much for a version suitable for carry. I will enjoy using it as a range gun and hope that ADE has enough magic left to squeeze shake-awake into this absolutely delightful sight. ADDENDUM: It has occurred to me that ADE could make the NUWA suitable for carry at no additional expense: just make the auto shutoff optional and leave the user with the responsibility to extend battery life by turning the power off when not in use. No brainer way to dramatically increase the utility of this otherwise excellent design.

Excellent budget red dot!!
This red dot is great. The adjustable brightness and dot position is incredibly easy to use and the fact that you don't have to remove the optic to change the battery is a huge bonus. Installation took less than 5 minutes and extra screws and tools are all included. If you're thinking about this product, get it.
-
Good deal for a good price
The optic is small enough not to be obtrusive but large enough for quick target sighting. I would recommend this to anyone.
-
Well built! not Plastic! Good Value!
Easy install! Great Value , even comes with several sets of screws and Allen wrenches ,which i liked! I will say doesn't have all the bells and whistles ,which holds the cost down. i wasn't sorry for the money!

Ade NUWA red dot
So far this little red dot is perfect for my Hellcat OSP. It fits great. I haven't zeroed it in yet, I'm sure it will be fine.
-
Low profile, metal construction
It's a great low profile red dot. Sits at about the same height as suppressor height sights. Strong construction, easy to load battery, clear glass. Great first red dot to see if you like them or not on your Pistol.
-
Fits Mossberg MC2SC
It seems to fit and so far so good.
-
Very compact and very precise
Well built and very sturdy. Small package with a well designed footprint. Shallow enough to use the iron sights. I now own 6 different ADE reflex sights. There will be more.
