Ade Advanced Optics 2025 Huracan Shake Awake RD3-006A Green Dot Mini Reflex Sight For Handgun

I bought this because it was cheap and available in the footprint I needed fully expecting it to 100% fail. I was thinking it was, at best, for airsoft guns. 3 years and 1000+ rounds of 9mm, including +P, later and it still works. The zero is still true, the glass is still clear, and the only thing I have had to do is change the battery. I wanted it to fail to justify spending money on a Vortex but it just hasn't given up on me yet.

First of all, I'm new to firearms. Less than a year. Have plenty of military and LEO friends who provide a wide range of advice and experience. That said, all discouraged me from "cheap" or "inexpensive" optics, such as the ADE brand. I watched several videos, read several reviews on this particular model (RD3-006B) and the evals were mixed. Decided at the price point, it would be a fine experiment. Green is easier on my eyes, hence this model. Installed a DPP titanium rear sight dovetail adapter on a Glock 19 with the included Loctite blue on the screws. Installed the RD3-006B on it (I don't think I used Blue though...) Zeroed it with a bore sight laser at 7. Made sure the elevation and windage screws were tight. Took it to the range (only have indoor in the area that's affordable for me). After 100 rounds, it held zero. After the second hundred, it had moved up just a tiny bit, I almost could not tell. Still able to put shots where I wanted well within a 3" area. Another 100 rounds and the elevation change was more noticeable. Still had shots acceptably were I wanted. Re-zeroed and fired strong hand, less accurate, but still pretty close to where I wanted. Fired weak hand...let's just leave it at that....Finally, for fun, sent it down 25. I can't see that clearly at that distance...but put 7/10 on the paper. Less of those were even close to where I wanted, but that's NOT the fault of the sight of course (nerf aging). All in all, for me, I felt it performed well for what I paid. I should recheck if I used Blue when mounting it into the dovetail adapter as that could account for the slight elevation changes. Never needed to touch the windage adjustment during use. The dot is easy to see. The adjustable brightness levels make is easy to find a comfortable brightness. I don't like the power button on the front, but that's a personal preference. Point is, be honest with yourself about your expectations. If you buy this at $70-ish dollars expecting the quality and performance of a $200+ Holosun, Sig, or a "Brand Name X" , YOU WILL NOT GET IT. If you buy the RD3-006B understanding it's NOT "Brand X" and will NOT perform as "Brand X" but WILL get the job done with maybe an occasional need to re-zero (a tiny bit), you won't be disappointed. In a year, with more experience, my view may change. However, with my limited experience with firearms NOW, it's a good buy in my opinion and I'm keeping it.

Good product for the money. One issue I have is the battery placement. It’s under the device. Which means when the battery dies, you will need to unscrew it. Take it off the mount to change the battery.

I'm reviewing the ADE tactical reflex dot sight (green dot RD3-006B) I bought this in December of 2020, so I've had some time with it. With that said, the main reason that I didn't give it a 5 star is the fact you have to remove the sight to change the battery. The battery lasts a good while as well (provided you don't leave it on when you put it up). there are 5 different brightness's to adjust for lighter and darker conditions (these work well and I have the green dot (I'm colorblind and the red dot disappears)). Setting it up is a breeze, make sure the locking screws are loose when you set it. It stays where you put it. I definitely would buy another one. this thing is every bit as good as the ones prices 2 to 4 times the cost.

i meeaan >_> i like ADE but i included a video as for durability i cannot say anything since i just got this (RD3-006B) and a RD2-006 (seems pretty quality) buuut as far as PARALAX /: thatd be the biggest draw back; you can see the video where i try to mimic "head bob" and u see at about 2' distance from the reticle is a yellow box with writing and the camera never reached my full extended arm length, sooo ive yet to mount it and see but ill keep it updated...its going on a ruger 57 so ill let ya know what medium/light recoil on a slide will do only immediate complaints are: •paralax issue •the mounting screw set knob is kinda bulky but thats me being picky, id love to see them use a mini quick mount latch like their RD2-006 model

I bought this for a cheap and fun plinking pistol, a Keltec CP33. The sight has no trouble holding zero, but then 22lr doesn't really challenge it at all. I have an astigmatism so I can't really speak to how crisp the dot is, but for what it's worth it looks about the same as my expensive dot sights to my wonky eyes. Only reason I'm holding back one star is for some minor issues I have with it, but they aren't deal breakers. The mount has one of those massive screws that sticks out the side, I'd prefer having to lock it down with an allen key rather than that giant knob. The other issue is that the lens doesn't appear to have any coatings so I do get some reflections. Either way it's a good low budget sight that suits my purposes and would have no issues recommending it to a friend.

I mounted this on my Springfield XDM. The hardest part was removing the sight then centering the v-notch that goes in its place. After that using the mounting bracket was easy, and it installed very nicely. The on/off button on the front is easy to hit even with my fat fingers, and the intensity of the dot is quite easy to do. All in all it is a very good sight especially for the price. Most other sights of this quality are going to be in the hundreds of dollars. I don't know if it fits your gun. I have an XDM stop asking me if it fits anything else, because I don't know.

At its price point, this sight is well designed and engineered. It has a clear, bright green, MOA 3 dot display at all five brightness levels. The On/Off illumination control ("one button does all" ) is positioned on the front of the sight for one finger operation. Its controls are simple and easy to use, just keep remember, it does not have Auto Off function. Also, contrary to the product description, it will fit both picatinny and weaver rails. It come with a very basic manual, tools for adjustment, rubber sight cover and rail mount, but DOES NOT come with the CR2032 battery, which is stated, as part of the complete package, (see Description >Features & details>forth (4th) bullet remark, bottom of statement. "CR2032 battery included ") explaining why, I gave it only a 4 star rating. IMPORTANT NOTE: As stated in the owners manual. It's very important to completely loosen the two small set screws, on the back of the sight, before adjusting elevation and windage screws! After you have finished making your adjustments, apply a type of "Blue Loctite" on the both set screws and tighten firmly. (not not over tighten)

I put this on my g19 with a mount I bought from wish (yea I know) it all mounted flawlessly but I recommend getting a sight pusher if you do anything with hand guns, out of the box it needed a lot of sight adjustment but after ~8 rounds it shot a consistent 5 inch group at 10 yds I’m not the best with a pistol but I think that’s incredible, I came to realize that if I’m in a active shooter situation I don’t want to fumble around to turn on a sight so I put irons back on and put this on a 223 I had that had no sight at all and once again it took about 8 rounds and it was shooting quarter size groups consistently at 35yds the mount is perfect height for my eye and FOV is pretty nice my friend picked it up and shot it, he ordered one before we even left the range.
