Reviews & Ratings for ADE Advanced Optics RD3-009 1x Reflex Red Dot Sight w/Taurus PT111 G2, Millennium G2 Optic Mount Plate — 12 reviews — Page 1

The optic itself works fine once installed, but I wish the instructions included more detailed photos. I wasn't immediately sure which screws belonged to the optic versus the mounting plate.

Customer support answered my questions quickly, so I eventually got everything working, but clearer instructions would improve the experience for first-time installers.

Everything arrived well packaged with all the screws, mounting plate, and instructions. I installed it on my PT111 G2 in under half an hour. The dot is bright, easy to adjust, and has held zero through several hundred rounds. Couldn't ask for much more at this price.

I wasn't interested in sending my slide out for machining, so this mounting kit caught my attention.

The machining quality is excellent. The plate fits cleanly into the factory rear sight dovetail, and once the optic is installed it looks almost factory. The included RD3-009 has plenty of brightness settings for both indoor and outdoor use, and adjustments were straightforward.

After several months of carrying and shooting my Taurus G3 (original rear sight version), nothing has shifted. I check the mounting screws regularly and they've stayed tight with blue thread locker. This setup gives me the advantages of a red dot without permanently modifying my pistol, which was exactly what I wanted.

The final result is good, but the installation wasn't nearly as easy as I expected. Removing the factory rear sight took much longer than mounting the optic itself.

Once everything was together it functioned properly, but beginners should expect to spend some extra time getting everything installed correctly.

This was my first experience using a pistol red dot, and I couldn't have picked a better setup.

The mounting plate fit my first-generation TX22 exactly as described. The optic has a crisp dot that's easy to pick up even during rapid shooting. I appreciate that everything needed for installation came in one package instead of having to hunt down separate hardware.

I've now fired roughly 600 rounds of bulk .22 LR through it without any issues. Zero has remained consistent, and the optic still looks brand new. I would absolutely recommend this combo to anyone wanting to upgrade an older Taurus without milling the slide.

I bought this package for my Taurus G2C because I wanted everything included instead of ordering the optic and mount separately. Installation was easier than expected, and the optic lined up perfectly with the included plate. I had it zeroed in less than 15 rounds and it's been holding zero after multiple range trips. Great value for the money.

The ADE RD3-006A1 GREEN DOT sight, itself, appeared fairly accurate and the overall installation was fairly easy in accordance with the provided instructions, including removal of the Picatinny mounting plate. The issues encountered came with: 1) Not holding zero: Upon checking that the Optic was securely in place, after installing the "anti-vibration shim between the EPS and the G2C mount plate (according to the instructions) the forward section of the sight still had a slight "left and right" movement once secured and torqued in place. This occurred even after even after the G2C plate (single-point) Phillips head mounting screw had been torqued to the required 12 in./lbs. Holding Zero under these circumstances is highly questionable. 2) Removing the device resulted, in difficulty in removing the pistol optic plate. The single point, counter-sunk Phillips head screw, almost started to "strip" during extraction. Care had to be exercised by every-so-slowly turning the screw to finally remove it. 3) The G2C mount plate was not a "press fit" or "snug fit" into the G2C rear sight mount. It appeared fairly loose! 4) Finally, the response as to why someone might see a "splashed dot, or Starburst was spot on!

did not send complete product in first shipment but once they where they was contacted they did a great job of making it right. Am very happy with fit and ease of installation. Looks and works great. Will be telling all my shooting buddies about this.

Was very easy to install good quality very accurate once sighted in
