ADE RD3-006 Green Dot Sight with Mounting Plates for Taurus Pistols
This package includes the ADE RD3-006 Green Dot reflex sight, a Picatinny mounting plate, and a pistol optic mounting plate designed to replace the rear sight on the following Taurus models:
-
G2c
-
G2s
-
G2
-
PT111 G2
-
Millennium G2
-
TX22
The optic plate also fits Taurus G3 with the original rear sight (see photo).
Note: This plate does NOT fit the newer Taurus TX22C (TX22 Compact), which is optics-ready. For TX22C, please see ADE models RD3-018 Spike, RD3-021 Nuwa (and Nuwa Pro), and RD3-030 Apollo, which fit directly without an adapter plate.
Updated Design
Based on customer feedback, the new production mounting plate now features a 45-degree beveled edge for easy slide-in installation into the dovetail slot — no filing required, unlike the older 90-degree edge plates.
The pistol plate does not fit the Taurus G3 with newer factory steel sights or the G3C model. For those, please search for the ADE G3C mounting plate on Amazon.

Counter-sunk Single-point, Phillips-head could be an issue on the G2C rear sight mount installation.
The ADE RD3-006A1 GREEN DOT sight, itself, appeared fairly accurate and the overall installation was fairly easy in accordance with the provided instructions, including removal of the Picatinny mounting plate. The issues encountered came with: 1) Not holding zero: Upon checking that the Optic was securely in place, after installing the "anti-vibration shim between the EPS and the G2C mount plate (according to the instructions) the forward section of the sight still had a slight "left and right" movement once secured and torqued in place. This occurred even after even after the G2C plate (single-point) Phillips head mounting screw had been torqued to the required 12 in./lbs. Holding Zero under these circumstances is highly questionable. 2) Removing the device resulted, in difficulty in removing the pistol optic plate. The single point, counter-sunk Phillips head screw, almost started to "strip" during extraction. Care had to be exercised by every-so-slowly turning the screw to finally remove it. 3) The G2C mount plate was not a "press fit" or "snug fit" into the G2C rear sight mount. It appeared fairly loose! 4) Finally, the response as to why someone might see a "splashed dot, or Starburst was spot on!

For beginners
If you know how to order replacement screws for the plate(smallest order is 50), use loctite and never edc with it, it’ll last forever. Holding zero is out of the question, best for plinking. Best for beginners that are learning maintenance habits before getting that sig sauer conversation piece. On/off/cycle button becomes unreliable after a couple years. You get what you pay for, for the price I was impressed. Maintenance and abuse are the determining factors.

Instructions was clear. Fit nice on my g2c. Would recommend

Easy to install
I will definitely buy other attachments from this seller. I love how they provided everything necessary to install this piece. Even down to the instructions were spot on. I had never did this before but it was easy to do. It also beat paying a gun shop $30 to put it on!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product
This optic works very well and holds zero if installed and used properly. I was able to zero it in at 30 feet with only 3 shots and it held that exact point of impact for over 300 rounds of shooting that day. I am extremely impressed for the price.

Green dot
Fit well after I had to go get a correct mounting screw for my g2c. Otherwise excellent unit for the price. Will be buying a second one for my wife's Taurus.
