Ade Advanced Optics RD3-009-2 Red Dot Sights - Motion Awake - Waterproof & Fog-Resistant -Optic for Pistol S/N: RD3-009-2 Compatible with Doctor/Vortex Venom/Burris Fastfire Footprint

Originally bought this optic for my Glock 22 .40 S&W, it was one of the main results when I searched for Glock Reflex Sights, Ade also makes like a mount plate you can put right on the rear sight, so I figured just go with the same manufacturer for both. Well I never got to add this to my Glock, Mostly because I wanted to learn how to shoot with it without the help of the reflex sight, I just wanted to have the sight available when I was ready. So something else happened that ruined those plans, another reflex sight I had bought for my shotgun completely sucked and failed, and I really wanted to use a sight with the shotgun and I had this one sitting there so I decided to use it on my Remington 870 Express Shotgun. I had a bore sight laser for the shotgun to calibrate the optic but to my surprise the optic was centered right out of the box, I did nothing more than take it out of the box and mount it on the picatinny rail saddle mount on my shotgun, took it to the range and shot some slugs with it, it was awesome, It was so fun and easy to shoot with, Im totally satisfied with this item, Im going to buy another one, this time a green dot sight for my Micro Roni. Really awesome product, and the price is fantastic. Update: It is now 1/19/2019 when I write this. The red dot is still bright still on its first battery. I used this sight frequently, I have used it on my remington 870 express shotgun 12 gauge, then I put it on my Mini-14, took it off when I put a scope and trasferred it to my Glock Micro Roni Carbine Kit, it was shooting .40 S&W & 9MM out of the roni, decided to put it back on the mini 14 which is .223, and now its back on my remington 870 I have bought about 4 high quality red dots, 2 from vortex and 2 from holosun each at least $175 more expensive than this one, those are great as well, mostly because people would give me a hard time about this ade red dot, but honestly there was no need, but I dedicate an optic red dot to each rifle and pistol I have been moving this one around as I substitute it with pricier ones, but this one is still perfect and of comparable performance, but if your on a budget or you just want to test out a red dot and see if they work for you, this is a good start, but even beyond that, its a really good quality, Im surprised its not more popular, this has found its final resting place on the same shotgun I posted my original review about, if your gonna buy another ADE red dot, I suggest you go with this one. They have a green dot one I bought, which is excellent, but I think this one is better. You cant go wrong.

Despite the American flag being on the side of the optics and stating "designed in the USA" this is still made in China. The optics are affordable and for the price point seems well made. Does not come close to the quality of my Holosun red dot but that Holoson costs about 4 time more money. I'll use it at the range and then adjust my rating if needed but out of the box it looks like it will do the job.

Ok , first off after reviewing this item on Amazon I was a bit turned off, there are locking screws you must unlock then adjust for windage and elevation, then lock the settings down. The battery is under the glass housing. Difficult to replace with a new battery and then tighten battery housing down. Also a turn off. However, at the range loosening the locking screw was no big deal provided you can actually visualize the standard screwdriver turning the locking screws. I was unsure as to how far I should back out the screws, after 5/6 quaterturns I was able to adjust for windage and elevation and then tighten locking screws! Speaking of windage and elevation, there is NO direction on the Red Dot to instruct you which way to turn for adjustments. ADE provides a wheel in the package after an educated guess, I determined which way was which! I believe one must place the wheel on top of which adjustment you wish to make with the flathead screwdriver that is in the package. Screwdriver does NOT fit thru wheel so you can NOT place screwdriver directly on the adjustment screws! Optics are good for these old eyes!. Red Dot appears after about 4-5 pushes on the ON/OFF button for brightness. So how do you decrease the brightness? Overall opinion. Not a bad scope, since I only hand tighten the scope to the rail, I had to retighten after 35 rounds. My shot placement is very good at 7 yards, 12 yards I need work and not faut of the scope! For screwing around and plinking with a .22 get this sight! Instuctions with the package is fair.
