Most Helpful Positive Review nice unit - beyond expectation
I purchased this red dot for my .22 for small game hunting. It was easy to get dialed in, rugged, and bright. My only word of caution is that I haven't beat on it , etc, so I can't speak to heavy use condtions. Also, the brightness doesn't have memory, you need to reset each time. So if that bothers you, beware. If not, it's an affordable way to play around with a red dot and see how you like it.

Decent Red Dot, customer service at ADE non-existent.

by Steakman, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on November 10, 2024
I recently purchased this sight to modernize my old Smith and Wesson, Model 22a. Upon un-boxing, I discovered a huge thumb print on the sight glass, and also noticed the battery was already installed. This led me to believe it was a re-box. I sent two very polite emails to ADE to determine if I should be concerned. I never received a reply. The installed battery failed one day after installation. Otherwise, the manufacturing appears good, although the sight in manufactured in China, not in the US as the flag on the side might indicate. I am sure it will be fine, just concerned by the lack of communication.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • Poor customer support
Best Used for:
  • casual target shooting

Nice to get a "made in America" product that works well.

by optic buyer, from NV, United States Written on October 23, 2024
Am using it on a USPSA carry optics pistol, 9mm. Have shoot several thousands of rounds, mostly in competition and it works well, day or night! I was surprised to see so many "negative" reviews, when I came back to order another one, for a different gun.

The only feature that I would like added is, motion activation, but for what I am using it for, it has worked wonderfully.

No better pistol red dot for the money!

by smith jp, from NV, United States Written on October 23, 2024
For the price, I have no complaints. It perfect for plinking. I have this mounted on a Ruger Mk IV Lite and it works well.

A few things you need to know.
1. it's not the clearest
2. changing the battery is a pain - it's located on the bottom.

I picked this up on sale for a little over $50 so considering the price this thing is well within the acceptable standard of performance and definitely holds it's own.

Great little sight

by LV CFW Retiree, from PR, United States Written on October 23, 2024
aseAutomatic shutoff is great. Fits nicely on a Ruger 45/22 LITE with the mounting plate when scope mount base removed! Much lighter and smaller / neater than originally planned tube type Bushnell red dot sight with big brightness wheel on side. Looks even better with stock iron sights removed.
Only negative is that the provided sight adjusting wheel does not fit the provided small blade screwdriver used to adjust windage and elevation.
And yes, for those who are observant, the stock trigger has been replaced with a Volquartsen SST target one.

Get it wont go wrong

by Serena, from NM, United States Written on October 23, 2024
This is great. Comes with a dust cover. Holds zero great as long as you remember to tighten the locking screws. Adjustable brightness. It's awesome. All the reviews saying it doesn't hold zero, didn't read the instructions. Loosen the locking screws, make the windage and elevation adjustments then tighten the locking screws. I've fired about 800 rounds of 9mm NATO after sighting it in and it hasn't moved at all. And yes it comes with the battery and picatinny rail mount so you can mount it on a rail or a pistol.

Good, but read the application notes well.

by Tim Haile, from UT, United States Written on October 23, 2024
5 stars, but with a caveat... This product seems to be well-constructed, and the glass and dot are good, especially for the price. However, it does not fit my RMR slide cut-out, nor does the ade adapter fit my slide. This may well have been my fault. Perhaps I misunderstood the advertisement. Obviously, the picatinny clamp allows this optic to be used on about any rifle rail, but the optic is too long to fit into my cut-out. I have concluded that for pistol use, it is designed to use only with the rear sight dovetail adapter. No problem for me, for I have other handguns that I can use it on.

Looks good works just fine

by Matthew, from MT, United States Written on October 23, 2024
Heard a lot of negative stuff about this. Get the utg super slim mount for a lower profile this fits perfectly. Looks good is snug. And stays on zero. Maybe the earlier models were cheaper? Seems pretty solid with lock tight. the ade green laser I have is much brighter than my crimson trace, and holds zero just as well. So far it’s a good cheap alternative if your looking to add a little something. If I were shooting competition obviously I’d go with vortex, but so far this works

Really surprised at the quality and ease of install

by gunsmith, from VA, United States Written on October 23, 2024
Got this to go on my Glock 20.... I've never had red dot before... So incredibly happy with this sight in every way... You can see from the picture... First shots were way left.. then I over adjusted to the right... Little by little I got it centered with the adjustment.. last 4 shots were money... This was at 25 yards... Also installed a factory 6 in barrel... Very pleased... Gonna take a doe with it this next season.

Read entirely for genuine input.

by That Guy, from WA, United States Written on October 23, 2024
First i would like to say unless your just rolling in money i imagine you have tried to find a bargain on red dots for your handgun. This product is EXACTLY what i was looking for, zeroed in about 10 minutes with a boresighter and shoots right on. Currently running on a Mark IV tactical , easily installed and adjusted, I’m curious about its durability if i move it to my gen 4 Glock 19. Overall a fantastic product and exactly what i was hoping for, kept zero today after first range trip running 400 rounds, highly recommend the purchase. A quick note, if you have astigmatism such as me, you need to google how it interacts with a red dot sight before you claim your product is faulty or sub par quality.
