ADE Advanced Optics – Red Dot Optic Mounting Plate for 1911 Pistol with Colt G.I. Rear Sight – Compatible with RD3 Series, Vortex Venom Razor Viper, Burris Fastfire and Similar Optics

Solid mount and fits a wide variety of mini red dot sights. Does not fit the bottom of older Optima 2000 pattern sights. dovetail was tight but was not hard to install on Springfield slide. I mounted this on a 9mm 1911 and have run probably 400 rounds through the gun with no problems. Mount is still firmly installed and sight has held Zero well. I must revise rating. This base was mounted on a custom STI based gun with a Springfield slide and a compensated barrel chambered in 40 S&W and carrying a Redfield Accelerator sight weighing 1 oz. I didn't use the gun much over the summer. I recently took to a pin shoot. On the sixth round fired the screws stripped out of the base plate and the sight went flying back past my ear. I will be contacting the supplier for service.

So for a review you are suppose to get binoculars 10x. I recieved a magnifying glass, like I'm 80 years old. Fits well after I shaved about 1 MM off of the side. I have a LLAMA which is a Colt 1911 replica. The screws fit just fine. And it came with a set of longer screws I guess after all the reviews. I had a mini green dot laying around and figured I'd put it on something. I ran across this mount by mistake but I am glad I did. I use this for my hunting sidearm. Update. Turn a oit the screws were too small. 6 shots and the sight hit me right in the mouth. So going go Lowes to get replacement screws. Should work. Need to be 3/16 longer. UPDATE: M3 .50 6MM screes that I got on Amazon for less then $2 fit perfectly. Old ones are 3MM so it should hold now.

I found this laser sight to install quickly with a nice strong laser point. It was easy to line the sight up to my iron sights and remained fairly accurate after about 50 rounds through my Glock. The only reason I dropped a star is the lack of a lock on the finger switch which is quite easy to activate when needed, but unfortunately too easy when you case the gun. Without removing the battery or wedging something under the switch when cased (my solution) you can count of a dead power source when you need it most. Overall however, a great deal for the money...

Looked like it would work great. Installed on 1911 pistol that shoots 45 cap using Loctite as well. On first fire the base flew off and hit me in the face. The screws that came with it are to short and after looking at them they only had 2 threads into the mounting bracket that were stripped off from firing the first round. Also the material it is made from doesn't allow the loctite to firm up even when using the loctite that requires no primer. Don't buy!

I wanted to put a red dot on my Umarex Colt 1911 CO2 pellet gun to better match my 1911 comp gun. This plate fits correctly, and matched to an ADE RD3-009 red dot, has made a dandy 10 meter training gun. Although I used blue Loctite on the screws, recoil is a non-issue with this setup, at the Umarex 1911 does not have a reciprocating slide.

The block the sight base mounts to required a lot of filing to get right. If you think this is going to be a drop in and go type of thing, you're going to ruin your slide trying to hammer this in.

After searching for a mount I found this one. It worked great, and the fit was right on. I had to do a little filing to insert the mount base, but that is always to be expected when gun smithing. I plan to buy from these folks again.

Good sight, it didnt fix my kimber exactly right but I made it work with another sight adapter. The only thing, I wish these sellers selling these adapter would take a few pictures of them. Show the side, type of sight cut, bomar, novak, mil stardard, maybe put a measuring device near by too wouldnt hurt. Show the top, bottom sides, everything it is hard to guess what you are getting when you only see the top side of something that attaches from the bottom.
