I love it. It was easy to install and use
I love it. It was easy to install for the most part on my M&P 40. Needed a little grinding on the dove tail but nothing major.
-
Great
Exactly what I needed to mount an ADE sight onto my SD9.
-
Great necessary component
What can I say, this was exactly what I ordered and works perfectly for the application needed.
-
Cheap alternative to a slide cut
Fits my mp9 performance center and has been holding zero so far. I’m happy with it. I used locktight on the two screws.
-

Great quality
Very good quality and fits perfectly, very happy will be buying more ADE products in the future.
-
super easy install, no modifications.
I installed on a s&w m&p 22. I used vortex venom red dot sight. Only problem was the screws were too short for the vortex venom,just a wee bit. Found 6-40 3/8 which was perfect.
-
Fit perfect
Mounted this on a S&W M&P 45. Fit perfect. Came with 2 sets of screws. 1 short and 1 long. Cant wait to range test.
-
Fast service
The ADE Scope and mount came quickly. Two day delivery. Had easily understood instructions. The products work very well and make sighting at the range great.
-

Works great on my S&W M&P 22 ful size pistol
Works great on my S&W M&P 22 ful size pistol, so far 500 rounds througt the gun with this new mounting plate looks good on my firearm too.
-
Tamaño perfecto
Muy liviano, fácil de instalar cumple su función a cabalidad, me gusta porque no sobresale del slide como otros qué hay en el mercado y mantiene la mira muy cerca
-
Fits a Burrus FastFire 3 beautifully
Fits perfectly the only hard part was removing original sight on my Smith & Wesson Compact slide - so far so good - used a little loctite to secure the screws and should be good to go
-
Works awesome on my M&P shield 9mm
Overall this is a nice inexpensive replacement. I bought this to replace and mount a micro red dot on my S&W M&P shield 9mm. It is designed for the full size but works very nicely on the shield as well.
-
you just cant beat it!!!
I purchased this for my S&W M&P 40 so i could put a ADE mini green dot on it. you just can't beat it, just remove the rear sight, slide the mount on and then mount the sight, just that easy. Hope this helps.
-
Good Quality Products ?
Today my A.D.E. MOUNT F1 for my Smith & Wesson M&P 40 fits perfect seems to be made well. Looks tough, shipping came fast and easy. Most definitely will order more from this company A.D.E. Advanced Optics. ?
-
Not for Defensive Use, but Good Product!
Mounts differently than I expected as compared to the Glock version (which I also own and love), but I really do like this product and highly recommend it for someone looking to put a dot on their S&W without the costly milling process. That said, I am not sure I would trust my life to this product.
-
Perfect fit on Full Size M&P 22.
i had a hard time finding out whether M&P 22’s and larger bore M&P’s had the same size dovetail. I had my doubts since the gun is produced by Walther. The tech desk at S&W said they were so I bought this mount. Absolutely perfect fit and went on in 10 minutes including the bore sighting. Buy it is you have a full size M&P 22.
-
This mounting base was perfect.
I mounted this base on a SD9VE along with an ADE RD3-006b green dot sight. They worked perfectly together. The base fits very well and holds my sight tightly. After a couple hundred rounds everything is still tight and the sight is holding zero. I'd buy this again.
-
Works
Didn't know theses were out there because I wasn't looking, I had a rail a $70 rail I bought 3 yrs ago, when someone showed me this I looked at all of them and this one looked like the best, it's on my M&P 2.0 fits perfect looks fantastic and I ordered another for my other gun.
-
Great price and great fit.
First off very easy to install it slid right into the rear sight slot of my SD9VE. Lined the holes up and tightened the screws down easy as that. My firefield sight mounted perfectly onto it. You will not find better value for the money.
-
easy to install
The set screw on the factory sight was the most difficult task of the install. The rear sight on this pistol drifted off easily with a brass punch and since I knew about the spring from a previous build, I didn't have to search for that :)
-
Getting alot more than what you payed for.
I actually ordered this for my SAR K2P, as it uses the same mounting as S&W M&P dove. I ordered this specific one for two reasons, price and shipping quickly. For the price, i was expecting a ok product. But what I received was NICER than the kits I looked at in person at a local gun store. Blemish free and just all around good looking. Oh! The screws came with blue loctite on them. Its a small thing, but I was happy to see that as well.

S&W Full size 9mm Install review.
The sight installed easy and clean. Some things to look for when installing are the longer screws that need to be ground down about 2 to 3 mm then lock tight. when installing make sure you tighten each screw as you go to make sure the sight is level to the slide. 100% silicone all parts as needed to reduce any kind of vibrations between the mount and the slide and the sight bottom plate for water proofing. Make sure after you sight it in that you lock tight the set screws if needed. Installed with the Ade Advanced Optics rd3-006x Green Dot Micro Mini Reflex Sight for Handgun.

Good fit to my M&P 22
If it isn't apparent from the photos, there are two parts provided with this, the 'F1' mounting plate and the 'F2' dovetail insert. Two different length pairs of mounting screws are provided also. The dovetail fit the rear sight slot of my M&P 22 perfectly. The mounting plate is contoured to match the cross-section profile of the top of the slide. This was also a close fit and the result is a pretty flush mounting to the slide with no exposed edges. I bought this to mount an ADE sight which hasn't arrived yet, but I'm happy with this mount and confident that it will be fine. I assume it will work with other full size M&P pistols also, but not with the Shield models.

Question of the Day... Will it fit?
Use to mount to my SD9VE for the Holosun 407k. Had to drimmel off the front 2 studs in order for it to work, but it works great now! I obviously didn't buy it for it's original intended use.
-
Great product and great price
Very easy to install...all the parts fit exactly and was installed on my S&W M&P 2.0 mm handgun.... I ordered this part to work with my Vortex venom red dot sight and would recommend it and would use another one on another gun if I get a second Vortex... great product and great price..
