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.

NUWA Review
I purchased the NUWA Red Dot for my new M&P 22 mag. The unit worked great & did not have any problems with it. I also have a ADE Raptor that came with a M&P 10mm that I picked up used. Don't know what the round count is on the pistol. But I put around 100 full power loads through the gun and that red dot kept it's zero. That's why I bought the NUWA Red Dot.

ADE nuwa red dot
Best budget optic on the market. Robust and has held a zero the entire time I've shot it.
-
Adequate compact sight
Great sight, only issue is screws are not long enough. Said it would fit my canik tp9 SC, but all screw that come with it are not long enough to mount.
-

-

RD3-021 NUWA
Review of ADE Advanced Optics RD3-021 NUWA Micro Red Optic I purchased the NUWA for my optic ready Kimber R7 Mako. This was the first red optic I’ve bought for any firearm I’ve ever owned. I am impressed with the ADE Advanced Optics NUWA in many ways. First & foremost was the price! I just can’t justify spending 1/2 the cost of a handgun or in some cases: more than the total cost, on an optic. For the price & my budget the RD3-021 is perfect. I really like the packaging, paperwork, cleaning cloth, plastic cover, screws & tools that are included. The shipping box prevents damage to the optic; the instructions are well written & worth reading; the 2 supplied hex wrenches & 3 different size sets of screws are a bonus. As stated in the instructions the screws provided may or may not fit your particular slide. Consulting Kimber; the optic screw pitch of the R7 Mako is 6-32. A trip to the local Menards and $1 later, I had the perfect 6-32 x 1/2 Flat Head Socket Cap Screw with 5/64 drive. The NUWA fit perfect. It’s weight is ideal and, unlike any other direct fit for the RMSc footprint, the top load battery and on/off switch to me are second to none. I didn’t expect the very nice included cover. I had to cut the rear of the cover a bit to have it fit between the Mako’s rear sight and the optic. Note: the instructions state to use the rubber-anti flickering / sealing shim provided. This was not included with my RD3-021 package. After installing on my brand new un-shot Kimber Mako I went to the local indoor range. After a few minutes & less than 20 rounds of “dialing in” I must say I’m impressed. I literally shot out my targets 2” center. Granted it was at 10 yards, but the red dot is so much faster over iron sights for acquiring the target and really allows my Mako to shine. It is nice having 8 settings of brightness on the 2MOA red dot. Overall the RD3-021 NUWA is a winner! To sum up: PROS - Price Top Load Battery Aluminum & Glass On/Off Button Direct fit on RMSc Accuracy / Ease of sighting in Ability to Co-Witness Existing Sights if needed CONS - Absolutely None Though I cannot do a side by side comparison with any other red dot optic I am very happy with my purchase & would recommend the RD3-021 NUWA to anyone searching for a red dot optic. I’m not one to accessorize my handguns, but this red dot optic is a BEST BUY & a MUST HAVE!

RD3-021 NUWA Red Dot Optic
I purchased for my new Kimber R7 MAKO, After installing and a trip to the local indoor range I am very happy with this sight as it is perfect in many ways. Between the price, direct RMSc fit, On/Off Switch, ease of sighting in, aluminum and glass, co-witness ability, etc the RD3-021 NUWA is a BEST BUY & A MUST HAVE! It's great that it comes with everything needed in the box, Though it comes 3 different sets of mounting screws, the Kimber Mako requires 6-32 threads, These were easily found at my local Menards for $1. It took 20 rounds to sight in the red dot and my Mako ate the entire 2" bulleye out of the target at 10 yards. I just can't say enough and very highly recommend this red dot sight!
