- MODEL RD3-009-2
- This is ADE's entry level red dot origianlly released in 2014. Over the years of improvement, it is one of best budget red dot for the quality at this price range. We have made it more durable to withstand recoil and improved the ability to hold zero. Designed in Oregon. Starting Jan 2024, this red dot is shipped with Motion Awake Technology.
- Starting 2024, this red dot will be shipped with the Motion Activated System. While the red dot is turned on, the red dot illumination goes to sleep after five minutes of inactivity, but when any motion or vibration is detected, it instantly switches on illumination at the previous brightness setting. Users also have the option to manually turn the red dot power off to disable the Motion Activated System.
- Designed to fit optic cut/plate 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 this ADE RD3-009 red dot does NOT fit the aftermarket slide with CURVED vortex venom optic cut.

I was actually shocked on the quality of this product for only $50 dollars you can't beat it. It mounted just fine on my SD9VE with the sight mark mini shot mount. Gonna take this down range this weekend see if it holds zero after 300-400 rounds. Definitely will be getting more to install for my friends if this hold up.

This red dot sight is one of the finest I have used
This red dot sight is one of the finest I have used. This is the second one I have purchased. They work great in daylight as well as at dusk. The six levels of brightness work very well. They are a good comparison th much higher priced red dots. Ade Advanced Optics RD3-009-2 Red Dot Sights

really nice, so far
Very easy to install and the sight fits the description and it works well so far. After I take it to the range I may need to add to this review. but so far a really nice sight for the price.

Excellent sight for the money
Excellent sight for the money, Quality is great and it holds its zero. Red dot is clear and bright. Does not click for windage/elevation, but once it is set the locking screws keep it in place. I will be purchasing a second one. UPDATE - Purchased a second one, and it is just as good as the first

Works great on my M&P22
Easy to install on my m&p22 with their bracket that I bought separately. Easy to sight in, once I stopped trying to adjust the elevation with the windage screw. Shot 300 rounds, held zero and stayed on my pistol. I think I will buy another one for my Glock 19.

I searched for days trying to find a good red dot sight at a decent price and decided on the Ade because of prior reviews. I was not disappointed. Great sight at an unbeatable price. I had a Trijicon on a prior gun years ago but could not justify the price on them now. Very easy to use and install and remove from my weapon.

Solid product!
Good quality, fast delivery. I’m not too sure about the quality of the battery included so I ordered the “best” 2032 I could find and replaced immediately. Shot 100rds so far and very happy!

Quality Red Dot for the Price
There were numerous choices available in a variety of price points. I was looking for something small for a Mark IV 22/45 Lite. This fit the bill. The price was right. It shipped quickly and arrived when I was told it would. Very pleased with the sight. I will take it to the range soon to see how it performs. The only reasons I did not give it 5 stars was, of course I haven't tested it on the range yet and second, the instructions were lacking in details. Specifically, about how to adjust for windage and elevation should that be necessary. There was a small disc with information on it that appeared to be associated with adjusting the sight but there was no mention of it in the instructions.

Introduction at a low cost
This red dot sight fit the adapter plate and sits decent on my FMK Gen2 9C1. The dot has a little bloom at higher settings (6 in all) but at level 3 perfect for me to engage at 25-45yds. Took about 300 rounds without losing zero but more range time will be needed to see if the dot drifts or not. No issues with falling of or sliding left to right during this range time. Build quality is pretty good. Being my first pistol sight, I can't compare it's functionality against other brands. I will however give it a fair rating considering it's price, performance, build quality and overall functions. If you have a desire to get into shooting with a red dot on your pistol and don't want to commit to having your slide milled, this plus the adapter is a great alternative to getting into the game.
