⚠️ Installation Note
While it can be installed by experienced users, we strongly recommend a professional gunsmith. Improper torque can cause loose screws, loss of zero, damage to your firearm or optic, and even personal injury.
? Have Astigmatism?
If your dot looks like a starburst, smear, or double-dot, you likely have astigmatism (very common and often undiagnosed).
✅ Simple test: take a picture of the dot with your phone. If it shows a clean round dot in the photo, your eyes are the cause.

RD3-015 Zantitium, RD3-028 Ares fit plate(does NOT fit slide due to larger size) that is compatible with Vortex Venom/Burris Fastfire/Doctor footprint.
Please note: Some aftermarket slides have a precise optic cut based on the curved edge/corner of Vortex Venom, one of the common slide manufacturers is PSA Dagger(with Doctor cut). ADE and other brand red dots do NOT have the same curve as Vortex Venom, therefore ADE RD3-006, 009, 012, 013 do NOT fit the aftermarket slide with CURVED vortex venom optic cut. ADE red dots with Doctor footprints only fit squared optic cuts that accept standard Doctor Footprints.

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.

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.
-
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
-
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
-
5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

Bloop
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.
