This green dot sight comes equipped with a Picatinny mounting base and is also compatible with various handgun mounting plates that replace the rear sight dovetail. It's designed to fit the Doctor Footprint Plate/Slide seamlessly.
The on/off switch for this sight is conveniently positioned at the front, making it much easier to press compared to red dots with side-mounted switches. It features a 3 MOA dot size and offers 5 illumination settings. The sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation and can be locked into place. With unlimited eye relief and various illumination settings, it is powered by an included lithium CR2032 battery.
Since its initial release in 2014, we've implemented numerous improvements to enhance its durability, ensuring it can withstand recoil while also improving its ability to hold zero. The front switch, battery housing, and hardware have all been recently updated, reflecting our commitment to continuous enhancement. This product is proudly designed in Oregon.
Although it's feasible to install the optic on a handgun without the assistance of a gunsmith, we highly recommend seeking the expertise of a professional for the installation process. It's essential to note that unprofessional installations, such as improper torque application, can lead to issues like loose screws, an inability to hold zero, damage to the firearm or optic, and even pose a risk of personal injury.
If you're not seeing a perfect round dot but instead observe a splashed dot, half-moon shape, multi-dot, or starburst, there's a high probability (99%) that you might have astigmatism without being aware of it. What you perceive is likely a small reflection of the LED light on the lens. A quick and simple way to confirm this is by using your cellphone to take a photo of the dot. If the photo shows a circular dot, you've essentially diagnosed yourself with astigmatism.

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.

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

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

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.

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.

Great budget sight!
Amazing budget sight. Highly suggested to get some type of thread sealant for the bolts, as after 250+ rounds they started to come loose, not only from the sight, but slide mount as well. As to be expected from any product not properly secured other then a hand tightened secured. Multi brightness adjustments makes for a great contrast to any light setting in shooting scenarios

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.
