Reviews & Ratings for ADE Advanced Optics APOLLO-PRO Red Dot Sight — 5 reviews — Page 1

This Apollo Red dot is just amazing. The price may be low. And most of the time you get what you pay for. If a Red dot is high in price it has to be over the top real good. But this is a red dot sure impressed me.i unboxed the Apollo and it came with the battery already installed and ready to mount. I installed it on my Sig P 365 X. Then took it to the range to zero in. The first 3 shots at a real tight group. Just a small adjustment and it was a zero. And after 3 weeks of E.D.C. took it back to the range and it held its zero. Shoot 150 rounds through it that day. Two days later came back and shot 100 more rounds through it. It was still holding zero. Just impressed with the Apollo, the Red Dot is always clear and can be seen, and no fade in the red dot. Just a awesome red dot. This red dot is made very well. Glad I have one on my E,D,C, Thanks

... that growing up with iron sights has made it a bit difficult for me to make a smooth adjustment to electronic optics (other than prism scopes for SBRs and such) and so I claim no expertise in this area and am still on the voyage of use and discovery when it comes to such.

However, having been exposed to (and owning) a good number of red dots, reflex optics, and the like, it is really not that difficult for me to separate the low-end junk from the middle-of-the-road "good" stuff and finally, the higher-end offerings. Some of the higher-end offerings also unfortunately have the higher-end price tags, so much higher-end that they cost more than the firearm, which is something that I find a bit objectionable -- kinda like having a set of wheels on a car that cost more than the car.

This dot has all the characteristics of the higher-end stuff with a more palatable (for me) price tag. Shake awake and such is becoming more and more common, as are clearer and brighter reticles, and this unit exemplifies those advances. I think it's worth a look.

For what it is, what it does, and what it costs: Five Stars

I am the Totally Unbiased Reviewer Dude (T.U.R.D.) and that is how I see it.

This is my second experience with ADE optics and it, so far, is much better than my first! The sight looks and feels well made. The dot is crisp and clear as is the optics glass. The switches work well and are not easily bumped. Shake awake also works quickly and the optic comes on immediately on picking up the firearm. Zeroing was accomplished in the typical fashion. Take a few shots from a stabilized position, in my case a pistol rest, aim dead center, fire a round, reposition the pistol, aim dead center and adjust the sight to the first impact hole. Was rinse and repeat until the pistol hits where the optic is aimed. That said the optic was perfectly sighted in three shots and retained zero through all three 20rnd magazines we fired that day. The ONLY issue I have is that this optic in NOT water proof or resistant, which is disappointing as even most budget optics are!

Excellent budget red dot that performs as good as the competition at 2x+ the price! Absolutely perfect fit for my Masada Slim. Very easy to mount, sight and use. Seems to hold sighting very well. I typically purchase red dot sights the are name brand and cost 2x-3x more than this sight. I could not be more pleased with this sight and particularly how it fits my Masada Slim. Mounts directly to the slide and allows for co-witness with iron sights on my Masada. I highly recommend this one!
