- 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.

Solid Quailty RMR for a great price!
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
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.

Worth the purchase.
Exactly what you're paying for, works well have had 0 issue with this product. Easy to install, looks great. As far as a budget optic goes this is one of the high quality I have gotten.

Can't be beat for the price!
Can't be beat for the price! I have it mounted in my Glock 22lr conversion kit to see if I like red dots. So far it has worked great. I had a minor issue with a previous order and customer service extremely responsive. Same day sometimes same half hour email responses late into the evening. I took a chance on a cheap sight and came away very happy. I now have two red dots from this company.

Not a single complaint.
Seems to be very well built and came in a nice and tight package. Looks good and has several levels of brightness. Very pleased so far and hope it holds up. I was skeptical about it at first for the price but I got to say that I’m surprised at how well built it is. Thanks ADE.

So far I'm pleased with it.
Installed it on Glock 19 gen 4, to my surprise it didn't need to be zeroed (extremely rare for pistol sights). On the course of 6 days and more than a thousand rounds fired it still holds zero. A little tiny issue, though, is the screws that secures the sight on the plate; they were a bit too long (use your skills at that point, file, washers, etc)

Best budget Micro Reflex for pistol
I was looking for in inexpensive micro reflex sight to place on my Ruger SR22 pistol for my 2 young sons to use. I bought this sight along with the mounting plate. Product arrived quickly. The packaging was nice and protective. The instruction and install were very easy. I have no complaints so far. Still need to try it out at the range.

Great Entry Level Sight
Purchased this sight as an inexpensive way to see if I like a Dot Sight on a pistol. Very fast service, well packaged. Seems to be very bright, was very easy to mount. Have not had a chance to go to the range yet but I'm sure it will be a nice addition to my Mark IV 22/45 Lite.

Great on a Glock 19
mounted to my Glock 19 with a mounting plate from eBay. Zeroed easily and has held over the last 2 days of shooting. Have now shot about 250 rounds with it mounted now and still seems solid without any hiccups. Only gripe is that I wish it would "remember" the last brightness setting each time I turned t on. Otherwise have had no issues. Will probably eventually have my slide milled so that I can regain my rear sight (just in case the red dot battery dies or malfunctions or something).
-
Just pull the trigger on this one!
I was skeptical to say the least due to the price and past experience with “cheap” optics. After installing the sight on my rifle I quickly realized I was wrong. I currently own two other major brands of the same style optic and this is on par with those easily. The sight is sturdy and seems to maintain a solid zero thus far. I am 300 rounds on on my AR with no issues. Completely satisfied with ADE optics.

Nice to get a "made in America" product that works well.
Am using it on a USPSA carry optics pistol, 9mm. Have shoot several thousands of rounds, mostly in competition and it works well, day or night! I was surprised to see so many "negative" reviews, when I came back to order another one, for a different gun. The only feature that I would like added is, motion activation, but for what I am using it for, it has worked wonderfully.

No better pistol red dot for the money!
For the price, I have no complaints. It perfect for plinking. I have this mounted on a Ruger Mk IV Lite and it works well. A few things you need to know. 1. it's not the clearest 2. changing the battery is a pain - it's located on the bottom. I picked this up on sale for a little over $50 so considering the price this thing is well within the acceptable standard of performance and definitely holds it's own.
