Fits s&w sd9ve and vortex venom perfectly. - ADE Advanced Optics Optic Mount Plate

The reason I was seeking a red dot mounting solution was because for some odd reason my pistol came from the factory shooting low. About 4 inches low at 7 yard to be exact. First, I told out operator error by taking myself out of the equation and strapping it to a rest. Them I got new sights. I even tried to "mic" down the spare front sight. I was able to bring the shots up by 2 inches at 7 yards. However, there wasn't that much metal left on the front sight to file down. I guess I could have purchased take rear sights too. But I've always wanted red dot equipped pistol. I've have red dot sights on my AR and shotgun and love them.

I contemplated getting the slide milled out, but my pistol cost less than $400 new. Getting the slide milled out was not justifiable. Milling out the slide is also red dot unit/brand specific and I wanted to have the option of swapping out different units. A dovetail mount was the best solution.

This product fits in the S&W SD9VE perfectly. The included screws were a little short, but I contacted the seller with the measurements of the screws that I needed. They promptly sent the appropriate length screws expeditiously. I was able to mount the vortex venom 3 moa sight without a hitch. Fitments for the venom was also perfection. It has held zero through 300 rounds. The pistol is now much easier to shoot accurately​ and rapidly. Problem solved.
