Reviews & Ratings for ADE Advanced Optics RD3-020 Raptor Red Dot Sight — 12 reviews — Page 1

The sight seems sturdy and the dot is nice and small. Only hickups would be the screws that came with the optics didn't fit my slide and the battery compartment is on the under side - not too big of issues I had screws that came with the slide and changing the battery doesn't happen that often at all. Overall very nice for the price

Not a bad red dot. I just wish the bottom of the red dot came with like a cover for extra protection.

The cut on the slide I was looking to mount was only 1.7" long and most other RMS were slightly longer. Got this mounted direct without plate. Haven't tested for function / zero hold yet. Had to use alternate screws as the ones that came with were too big/long.

Purchased February of 2022. Shipping was fast, faster then estimated by about 2 days. Mounted to the rmr cut on my PSA Dagger G19 size slide sitting on top of a poly 80 sub compact frame without issue. Initial impression was good. Glass is clear. Dot is round and little bleeding at all power levels. “Shake awake” works as it should. The biggest issue was when it came to zero. The sight did not have enough elevation. Manual says that a 1 degree shim may be required. Contacted ADE and one was shipped out fast, free of charge. Found the shim for sale elsewhere for an additional 9.00. So that was awesome of them to ship it free. Once mounted again, it zeroed right up and had no issues whatsoever. Been breaking in the pistol and have so far have about 500 rnds through it, all with the ADE raptor. Zero has held just fine and no drift. Very happy with the purchase. Only flaw is the included cover. Does not fit when sight is mounted to slide.

Just what I was looking for! Mounted perfectly to my slide! Bright dot!

Bought for my husband and he loves it. It mounted beautifully and has held zero through 200+ rounds. He says he will be buying more for other builds. Thanks ADE

Clear optic. build quality looks great. I was looking for a lower-cost optic that has shake to wake. This one works great. I tested it a lot. Also has very little parallax. I tested this on a 10in steel target. Moving to the full width of the glass and top to bottom, all shots hit. The battery is on bottom. So it will need to be removed when replacing, but I felt that was a fine tradeoff for cost compared to the competitors. I don't think it will be very waterproof. The bottom panel is just squeezed between the optic and the mount. There really isn't a seal. There is a batter pad that might seal, but probably not much. I do think it will be fine in rain. So I am not really concerned about that.

I have at least 200 rounds and running great! I would recommend the Raptor. I think it is a great value.

at first it was a wonderfull sight, big viewing window, good controls, ajusted with ease, but then the dot wanted to go out now and then when I was shooting. tightened up the battery connections, but it still would go out every so often. tried new battery, did not help. this is a sample of one, so I reserve my recomedation until later, otherwise this would have been a nice dot sight.
