Reviews & Ratings for ADE Advanced Optics RD3-006 1x Reflex Green Dot Sight w/Ruger Security 9 Optic Mount Plate — 47 reviews — Page 1

I mainly purchased this for recreational shooting rather than concealed carry. The optic has made shooting steel much faster and more enjoyable.

Zeroing only took a few magazines. Since then I've run factory FMJ, hollow points, and even some older reloads without the optic shifting. The housing feels sturdy and the controls are simple enough that I never need to think about them.

Considering the complete package includes the dedicated Ruger mounting plate, I feel like I got an excellent deal.

I specifically wanted a green dot because red dots tend to bloom a little for my eyes. This optic solved that problem.

Fast target acquisition, clear glass, and no issues after several hundred rounds. I'd definitely buy another.

The optic itself seems well built and performs nicely once installed.

My complaint is mostly with the instructions. If you've never mounted a pistol optic before, the process isn't completely obvious. I ended up watching a couple of installation videos online before everything made sense. Once mounted correctly it works well, but first-time users may find the directions lacking.

I've owned several handgun optics ranging from entry-level models to optics costing over three times as much. I wasn't expecting this ADE to compete with premium brands, but I mainly wanted something affordable for my Ruger Security 9 range gun.

After four months and somewhere around 1,200 rounds, it has exceeded my expectations. The optic has stayed zeroed despite frequent range trips. Windage and elevation adjustments were positive during sight-in, and once locked in they haven't drifted.

The motion activation has become one of my favorite features because I don't have to remember whether I turned it off. Battery life has been excellent so far, and the green dot remains visible in bright outdoor conditions.

No optic is perfect, but considering the complete package includes both the optic and mounting plate, I think it's an outstanding value for someone wanting to get into pistol red dots without spending several hundred dollars.

Everything needed was included in the box. Installation took me about half an hour because I watched a YouTube video first.

The glass is clear, the dot is crisp, and the optic sits low enough that it feels natural when presenting the pistol. Very happy with this purchase.

I've tried a couple of inexpensive pistol optics over the years and honestly expected another disappointment. This one surprised me. The included Ruger Security 9 plate fit perfectly after replacing the factory rear sight, and once everything was torqued down it stayed solid.

The green dot is much easier for my eyes to pick up than red, especially on bright afternoons. I was also pleasantly surprised by the motion-activated feature. I leave the pistol in my range bag and the dot wakes right up every time I pick it up.

I've put roughly 700 rounds through the gun so far and haven't needed to re-zero it. For the money, this package offers far more value than I expected.

I've now owned this optic for over six months and it's become one of my favorite upgrades. The green dot is bright in daylight, the battery life has been excellent, and the mounting plate has never loosened.

I've taken it through hot summer days, rainy afternoons, and plenty of range sessions without a single issue. The adjustments remain consistent, the glass is clean and clear, and the optic simply works every time I use it.

Sometimes the best compliment you can give a product is that you never have to think about it—it just does its job. That's exactly how I feel about this one.

After comparing several optics, I decided to give ADE a try. The package arrived quickly and everything looked professionally machined.

Installation was simple, the controls are intuitive, and the optic has maintained zero through multiple trips to the range. I especially like how low the optic sits on the slide.

For anyone wanting an affordable optic solution for the Ruger Security 9, this is an excellent choice.

The optic performs well, but I did need to watch an online video to understand the mounting process. Once everything was tightened correctly, it has stayed secure.

The glass is clear, the dot is crisp, and I've been very happy with its overall performance.

I wasn't looking to spend premium optic money, but I still wanted something dependable. This setup checked all the boxes.

The mounting plate fit perfectly, the optic feels well made, and the adjustments were easy to zero. I've fired several hundred rounds without any noticeable shift.

It's hard to beat this combination at this price point.
