So I took a chance and purchased this to get a feel for the multi reticle green dot. This is my 2nd ADE, and after the 1st needed a warranty exchange early, it's run fine ever since. Since the 1st one, after replacement, has run just fine I figured trying a different one out. In concept, it got the right stuff: Metal housing, battery on top and not underneath, and Green Dot with Circle. Brightness levels are good, with very light to blinding strong.

The reality is that the window is simply too small for the circle. It blurs on the outer edges because there's essentially warping from the glass shape at the outer edges, and that's because it's small, in relation to it being a multi reticle dot. It would probably work much better with maybe a 3 or 4 mm more of a window.

Now, I still recommend it because it's not that expensive, a solid build quality and it gives you an idea of how you like or don't like a multi reticle setup if you've never used it. It's also still usable, as the actual dot in the center is still clear and when perfectly lined up, the entire picture is indeed clear. Just be aware of its shortcomings and you may be fine with it.

The trigger guard mounted NcStar Laser is a disappointment for a few reasons. Let's begin with putting in the batteries. The instructions speak to a spring loaded battery door release cover that pops out to put in the batteries and the Door is NOT sprung and will not "pop up" as stated in the instructions. Next up is mounting it: it's difficult at best. The way you mount itis you have to find the right combinations of wedges that are provided to angle the laser correctly forward. these wedges are Lego like in appearance but they do not lock in place. you have to glue or tape them on to hold them in place to mount the laser. DO NOT USE Tape as a permanent solution because it will be too smooth on the trigger guard and cause it to move. I suggest tape to get the proper fitting, then use something like Playdoh to secure the wedges long enough to mount it. If you glue it you won't be able to use it on a different pistol. Mounting it leads to the next issue: the plastic is not the strongest as my 1st one broke sitting on the trigger guard. It started to move and when i checked to see if it loosened the plastic cracked apart. NcStar did replace it for me but that made me leery of keeping it on once I mounted it again. Last issue: trigger guard mount was not wide enough to fit my trigger guard (Ruger P94) and because of that it never fully seated properly. My solution was a blade to trim off enough to be able to seat it properly. The laser works just fine and can be adjusted just fi
