Reviews & Ratings for ADE Advanced Optics NUWAcc PRO Motion Awake 1x20mm Micro Green Dot Sight — 14 reviews — Page 1

The mounting hardware is cheap and strips easily. The optic worked intermittently. Help desk was of absolutely no help. Completely ruined a Glock 48 slide with broken mounting hardware. I don’t know how these folks sleep at night, I’m sure they’ve ruined other guns. Don’t be a victim. Buy any other optic, I mean any other optic, as long as the letters “ADE” is NOT in the name.

This is super small but had excellent optics. Very impressed at this price point. I put this on my G3C and it actually had a narrower footprint than my slide. Very bright, dot is crisp and had clean edges. Held zero through 150 yds no problem. I used the green dot to track the slide numerous times and it never lost zero. Easy adjustments for windage and elevation. Battery can be replaced without removing optic. Although I never noticed it going to sleep, it stayed on several weeks so far without any noticeable change in brightness. I am assuming it draws very little power and can stay on constantly for many months. Really nice optic made in the US.

It fits snug and I am able to have tight groups. Will buy again.

Note, this is a budget optic and as such it will be reviewed as a budget optic. I won't compare it to the expensive higher end optics since that doesn't make sense.

What it is. Its a small footprint, really small footprint, green dot sight that looks and operates well. I didn't know if I would like the shark fin edges but I have to say, they do look really good on this unit. I was also surprised how small this unit is, if you want a small profile, look no further.

I find this to be well built and I won't be doing any drop testing or anything but I do not find any reason to say I wouldn't trust it as my EDC. I will say that for my EDC I usually pay the higher price and get the name brand that I KNOW is quality but again, I don't see anything here to concern me. It's quality made and that is apparent. Sure, it's not double the price and there are not extensive tests by people in the field, but it does appear to be good quality from what I can see.

I just do not like bottom load battery changes and for me, I don't like the idea of having to remove a sight to change the battery. Granted, that is what you must do because this sight is quite small and couldn't be designed any other way.

I'm going to give it a thumbs up though. Much nicer that I thought it would be from the drawings in the ad.

Works great. Was able to mount it to my sig p320 with an adapter. Love the auto wake and was pretty easy to sight. It's not too of the line but it's definitely worth the price!

The ADE sights I have are good quality and they offer a variety of sizes and options. This sight and the 021G Pro are very similar and while I like the 021G slightly better since it has a smooth top and crosshair dot, this version is still the same basic compact design and functions very well. Plenty bright and the dot stays zeroed in at least so far. It comes with the tools required to mount and adjust and includes a gasket which many on the market do not. The cover fits snug and the shake awake works fine. Like others have said I'm not a fan of the spikes on the top which serve no purpose. If they make a generation 2 of this model they should eliminate the spike design. This is one of the few pistol sights I would recommend based on the quality, performance and size.

Unfortunately I don't have any "in the field" review information for this sight as I thought it was an RMR footprint when I ordered it. It is actually a RMRcc which is much smaller and different pattern. Know that when considering purchase of this item.

As far as quality and appearance goes, this ADE green dot sight seems very nice. It features a shake awake power on as well as a 5 minute inactivity off feature. It also has a white 2 dot sight built in the rear to co-witness with or have as a back up sight. The unit feels very well built. It is made of aluminum with what appears to be a very durable black finish.

ADE appears to be pretty popular and could be considered in the "name brand" category so at the reasonable price of this unit, I would give it 5 stars for quality and value.

Definitely a budget optic at this price point, but… as I have an aftermarket G23 slide milled for RMRcc, Trijicon was the only option until now.

Pros: The NUWAcc fits the RMRcc footprint perfectly, and the provided gasket seems to cinch it down well into place. Clear glass, and well defined 3 MOA green dot (I much prefer green for acquisition and sighting). Has held zero through a couple of mags so far. Unit is much lower profile than the Trijicon for CC (with about the same size view) although will need more time to verify reliability before putting it into the rotation. Top battery replacement with no need to dismount (unlike the Trijicon) is huge.

Cons: 1 star off as on the first received unit the Motion Awake feature would turn it off after five minutes, but no amount of shaking or motion would turn it back on. Had to manual push the button to turn it back on each time; fail. However, Amazon replaced it immediately at no charge in one day. The second received unit works as advertised. The windage and elevation adjustment screws seem cheap; the windage screw was firm and tight with tactile gradations, but the elevation screw is much looser with no felt increments. Causes me to wonder how well it will hold zero under recoil. The unit housing is well made but nowhere near the quality of the Trijicon, but then it is 1/5 the price…

Bottom line: I like it, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for range and training use. I’ll need to put several hundred rounds in different r...

Installed on a Glock 43X as one of my main carry guns. I have had it a few weeks now and very happy with it.

This Sight seems to be straight forward. Mounted up just right to my footprint, RMRcc. I have not shot with it yet and can give no other feedback other than the price is very reasonable and only time and use will tell the tale.
