This combo includes an ADE RD3-019 red dot sight, a mounting plate for non-optic ready HK VP9, VP9SK, P30, P30L, P30SK, HK45, HK45C, and VP40 pistols, and a standard picatinny mount. The plate replaces the factory rear sight and fits pistols with a dovetail only. Does NOT fit optic-ready models with a factory optic cut.
The ADE RD3-019 Stingray features a 6 MOA red dot for quick target acquisition and accuracy. With a compact and lightweight design, it weighs approximately 0.88 oz (25 grams) and measures 1.6" (L) x 1.1" (W) x 0.93" (H)—perfect for slim-profile setups. Powered by a long-lasting battery, the Stingray offers up to one year of battery life, making it an excellent choice for both everyday carry and range use.
Ade Stingray created a iron sight curve at the end of the body, and also added two white dots on the curve. For the rear of part of the red dot to become a "back up iron sight". With the ultra short design, the red dot provides a distance/gap on some of full size optics ready pistol, to give enough distance to be a Co-Witness back up sight, in addition to the LED dot and pistol equipped iron sight.
ADE Stingray red dot sight is always powered on and features an auto-dimming sensor which regulates proper dot brightness based on ever changing ambient light conditions. Operates with a single CR2032 3v battery. With our advanced technology the sight only draws very minimum powers to give a very long battery life. The brightness will turn high and low accordingly to the environment brightness.
If you're not seeing a perfect round dot but instead observe a splashed dot, half-moon shape, multi-dot, or starburst, there's a high probability (99%) that you might have astigmatism without being aware of it. What you perceive is likely a small reflection of the LED light on the lens. A quick and simple way to confirm this is by using your cellphone to take a photo of the dot. If the photo shows a circular dot, you've essentially diagnosed yourself with astigmatism.
Although it's feasible to install the optic on a handgun without the assistance of a gunsmith, we highly recommend seeking the expertise of a professional for the installation process. It's essential to note that unprofessional installations, such as improper torque application, can lead to issues like loose screws, an inability to hold zero, damage to the firearm or optic, and even pose a risk of personal injury.
