Reviews & Ratings for ADE Advanced Optics NUWA Micro Red Dot Sight — 130 reviews — Page 1

I bought this because it was cheap and worth a shot. I do like them but they are not what I had hoped for. The sight window is tight so it's a little bit difficult to pick up the dot. My biggest issue is the adjustment screw for up and down, left and right do not have any detents. They just screw in and screw out. When shooting it seems as they would lose zero easily because the screws can't be locked down. They are nice and seem to be built well other then these issue. I wouldn't recommend them. Throw a little more money and buy a better made sight.

Lost zero to the point of being completely at the top right of the glass on the first magazine.

Had installed not used yet, looks very good on my Bul SAS II ULTRALITE

I bought for my regular hellcat so it didn’t fit, that’s my fault but looks really well made and durable

Great micro red dot.
They also make a green dot for this model as well

Very nice optic, an absolute steal for the price. This is my second ADE, I have one mounted on a Canik sfx as well. Probably my most accurate gun at least until I get this elite sc to the range. Can't wait to see eit can do.

Put the first 150 rounds through my Sig P365X with the spike mounted and there were no issues at all. I own other ADE Red Dots and they have all also worked flawlessly. What I really like about the Spike is that compared to even the more expensive Red Dots that fit the RMSc mount, is the obvious superior build quality, being metal and glass instead of plastic and plastic. The built in rear dot sights co-witness perfectly with my Sig P365X. Several mounting screw sets were also included.

Purchased to install on my Canik TP9SC.. No installation problem and turns on with removal of cover and off with cover placed back on... actually turns off in the dark. I have fired over 300 rounds with no on off problems or lost zero. I have an ADE RD3 009 on my Ruger and it holds zero perfectly, (approximately 2500 rounds)which prompted me to purchase the SPIKE for my Canik.

I’ve had the ade spike for over a year now. At first I was very skeptical, it being a company that isn’t as well known and the reviews I did find were people bashing the optic that never even owned one! After a year I am completely satisfied! This optic still holds zero to this day and is on my 43x and accurate as a button once you get it zeroed in.

ADE has a reputation for making budget optics, but this seems to be their first foray into a higher end optic designed for a carry gun. They seem to be marketing toward the RMSc footprint, lightweight carry pistols such as the Canik TP9 and Sig P365. I personally have it on a Glock 43.
The construction is solid with a coated glass lens and aluminum body. I've dropped it a couple of times, and not only is it fine afterward, the zero was unaffected. Zeroing it was pretty easy as it went on the slide pretty dead on, so your experience may not be as easy as mine. Zeroing is done with a standard flathead jewelers screwdriver. It co-witnesses about 75% with my existing standard height Truglo sights, unlike the Swampfox Sentinel, which I consider to be the closest in feature set to the Nuwa which needs suppressor height sights for co-witness. It dropped onto the RMSc slot on my Glock very snugly. I used a couple drops of blue LocTite and it doesn't appear to have budged since, and I grab the optic to rack the slide a lot.
The dot is 4 MOA, which is a little big for precision shooting, but is (at least for my failing eyesight) easy to pick up and find. I'd have preferred a 2.5 or a 3 MOA, but this is personal preference. Being as this is meant for a carry gun; the larger dot is probably preferable for quicker target acquisition. The always on feature is also better on a carry gun and is normally a feature of a much more expensive red dot. The automatic brightness feature works well...
