B1s0260's Review of ADE Advanced Optics RD3-015 PRO Shake Awake 1x Reflex Red Dot w/SAR9 Optic Mount Plate
I have mixed feelings about this setup. The RD3-015 PRO itself has worked well. The dot is easy for me to acquire and I really like the shake-awake feature.
The compromise is the mounting system. If your SAR9 isn't optics ready, the dovetail plate gives you a way to mount a red dot without permanently modifying the slide. The downside is that the optic sits higher than I personally prefer. It isn't a defect, it's just the nature of this type of adapter.
After practicing with it I got much better at finding the dot, but if I were building a pistol specifically around an optic I would probably choose a direct-cut slide.
For someone who wants to keep their original SAR9 slide unmodified, though, this package makes sense.
