Reviews & Ratings for ADE Advanced Optics RD3-006 1x Reflex Green Dot Sight w/SAR9 Optic Mount Plate — 30 reviews — Page 1

The optic and plate are good quality overall, but one of the screws was extremely tight in the package and took some effort to remove. Not a major issue, just worth mentioning.

Once installed everything worked correctly and the optic has held zero well.

Mounted easily and sits at a comfortable height. Dot acquisition feels much faster than irons alone. No complaints so far after a few range sessions.

I originally bought this setup as a temporary budget option until I upgraded to a more expensive optic later. After using it for several months, I honestly may just keep running it.

The mounting plate feels sturdy and properly machined. No wobble or fitment issues whatsoever on my SAR9 Sport. The optic itself has surprisingly decent glass clarity and the controls are simple to operate even with gloves on.

What impressed me most was reliability. I've put roughly 800 rounds through the pistol so far and the optic has stayed zeroed. The shake awake feature still activates instantly every time I pick the pistol up. Battery life has also been much better than expected.

For range use, home defense, or someone wanting to get into pistol optics without spending a fortune, this combo is a pretty strong value.

Ordered on a Monday and had it by Thursday. Packaging was clean and everything needed for installation was included. Dot is bright even outdoors in Arizona sun.

This was my first pistol red dot setup and I was honestly nervous about compatibility issues. Fortunately everything lined up exactly as described for my SAR9 CX.

The optic mounted securely and the included hardware fit much better than some aftermarket plates I've tried in the past. I used blue Loctite and followed the recommended torque specs. After zeroing, the dot remained stable through several hundred rounds.

The larger window design makes it easier for newer shooters like me to quickly find the dot during presentation. Really happy with this purchase overall.

Everything fit correctly on my SAR9 Gen 2 and installation was straightforward. Nice machining on the plate and the optic held zero after my first range trip. Definitely worth the money.

I was skeptical because of the price, but this optic has stayed zeroed through multiple range trips already. Probably around 600 rounds so far on my SAR9.

Brightness settings are easy to adjust and the dot is visible even outdoors. Definitely exceeded expectations.

My first unit arrived with a loose screw in the box. I contacted support and they responded quickly and sent replacement hardware without giving me a hard time. That alone deserves recognition these days.

The optic itself has worked well since then. Nice bright green dot and easy to sight in.

I’ve been running higher-end optics on my carry pistols for years, but I wanted something affordable for a Canik range setup that stays in my truck bag. This little ADE surprised me.

First thing I noticed was the glass clarity. It’s actually much cleaner than expected for a budget optic. There’s a tiny bit of tint, but nothing excessive. The green dot itself is sharp with very little starburst effect for my eyes. I usually struggle with cheaper red dots because of my astigmatism, but green works much better for me.

Mounting was straightforward with the included plate. I added blue Loctite and torqued everything down properly. After several range sessions and roughly 700 rounds, zero has stayed consistent. Recoil on the SAR9 wasn’t a problem at all.

Battery life seems decent so far. I like the simple design and the low profile. No unnecessary gimmicks. Just a basic optic that does what it’s supposed to do.

Would I trust it for hard professional duty use? Probably not over my premium optics. But for range use, home defense backup, or getting into pistol dots without spending several hundred dollars, this is honestly hard to beat.

The optic itself works fine and the dot is bright enough, but the instructions were honestly pretty confusing for first-time installation. I had to look up a video online to figure out the mounting process.

Once mounted it performed well though. Took it to the range last weekend and had no issues through around 250 rounds.
