  • 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.

The screw comes with our red dot come with a pair of M3x6mm screws to connect to the pre-assembled picatinny mounting base. Some mounting plates made by other companies for specific handgun might need a longer screw such as M3x8mm or shorter screw such as M3x4mm depends on the thickness of the mounting plate/adapter. If you can’t get the screw to work properly, we recommend going to a local hardware store such as ACE Hardware to get the right size.

    Excellent Value!

    This is an extemely nice optic for the price. My 60 year old eyes aren't what they used to be and this sight brought back the joy of shooting. It is currently sitting atop my Ruger Mark IV Target pistol and get a lot of attention at the range. I am very happy with this purchase.

    Seems like most of the complaints I’ve read have been corrected I’ve had zero problems with this optic.It was easy to install and works really well and it’s easy to adjust.

    Solid Quailty RMR for a great price!

    Posted by James Silver on 19th Aug 2025

    Solid build, clear glass. Everything and then some was in the box. The dot is bright. The cover fits snug without pressing the button. Paired it with a 45 degree mount on my AR fits the bill perfectly. I'd recommend to anyone as it sits for the price. Taking it to the range this weekend if I have any issues I'll report back.

    Great Red Dot

    Posted by Malcolm Roberts on 19th Aug 2025

    Purchased this product for my new Glock Gen 37. Installed easily and with a laser bore scope was a dream to zero. I highly recommend this product for ease of installation and use. Be sure to include a mounting plate, sold separately, to insure a complete installation.

    Good Value Red Dot

    Posted by A2Z on 19th Aug 2025

    Just got it, initial impression in quality, compared to the higher-end competition (vortex, Burris, etc.), is impressive. The compromises I can see cosmetically are to be expected for $55. It's for my .22 pistol league so it's gonna get hammered on starting this week so I'll update if relevant.

    Have to remove the sight from the base it arrives on.

    Posted by ReaP on 19th Aug 2025

    Sight and mount bracket arrived today, well packaged. Hard part of the install was removing the S & W rear dot sight, pressed it out. Needed the longer screws included in the F1 mount package to install the red dot to my SD9VE. Total time less than 10 minutes. Cannot wait to take it to the range to align it.

    Don't waste your money on the "name brands"

    Posted by adam watts on 19th Aug 2025

    This optic fits beautifully with no modification at all to a Ruger 57 with the Vortex mounting plate. The screws even come pre loaded with Loctite. A very nice and inexpensive option to add to any optic ready weapon.

    Fit perfectly...

    Posted by Michael on 19th Aug 2025

    Fit my glock 23 perfectly with the adapter plate (d1). I didn't want to pay a small fortune to get the rail milled and find out that I did not care for the red dot. This is the perfect way to try it out without spending large amounts of money.

    Nice red dot for the money

    Posted by Customer on 19th Aug 2025

    Love the look, easy to zero and use. Don’t really like that you have to take it off to change the battery but that’s the only thing that I don’t like.

    American made and worth it!

    Posted by Brian Perez on 19th Aug 2025

    Super easy to install, and even easier to use. The dot is bright as can be and the reflective tint on the lense gives the piece a real cool look. I have my sight set on a canted mount so it makes a perfect back up for close quarter aiming.
