James Shipley: This is the first red dot I got it work's good

Bernie Gilbert: I bought this sight because it explicitly stated that it would fit my Tisas Zigana PX-9 9 mm pistol. When it arrived, I powered it on and the red dot appeared as expected, and I was able to vary the brightness as the owner's manual stated.

I couldn't get the rear iron sight off the pistol, so I took it to my gunsmith and left it with him. He called the next day and said it had been difficult for him to get the iron sight off, but he was able to. The problem was the two part mounting plate didn't fit properly to mount the sight on. The dovetail portion of the mount had significant play, and the main part of the plate didn't seat properly on the gun's slide. There was no way he could secure the mount and the sight properly to the slide.

Returned it today, and after a three-way conference call between myself, my gunsmith, and SDS Imports (it's a Turkish gun) to make sure what I was planning to order would work, I ordered a Holosun 407c-x2 and a one piece RMR mount.

Squeaky Huevos: UPDATE 02APR22 - I ended up having to use a UTG adapter plate to mount this to an M&P Shield. The mount worked great, the sight not so much. - I taught a combat pistol fundamentals class over the weekend and decided to test this sight. Things didn't go well. The dot, even at its brightest isn't bright enough during the day. I was in the California desert and as soon as there was full sunlight the dot was washed out. I ended up switching to a G19 with a Holosun in order to keep the class going. - At the conclusion of class I decided to move into a shaded area and give the sight another try. I found that it shut off frequently. Sometimes after a single shot, sometimes after 2 or 3. The sight was mounted with the rubber shock isolation pad and without. The pad didn't seem to make a difference. I WANTED to like this RDS, but sadly it's just not up to par with a reputable brand.

First off, having shot iron sights all my life, I bought this to experiment with a pistol optic. It looks good out of the box, but thats about it... There are zero mounting instructions.

First, Replacing the rear sight with the threaded dovetail mount is impossible out of the box. The dovetail...

George S.: I have been wanting to try a Red Dot Reflex Sight on one of my M&P pistols without having to take it in to have the slide machined and have it a permanent install if I ended up not liking it. Well this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for and it was very easy to install, adjust and start shooting better with. After a 30 minute install I took the pistol down to my Gun Range and sighted in the variable density Red Dot at 25 yards. I then took it off the rest and shot another 50 rounds at 25 yards and was amazed how well I could keep the shots inside a 4" circle. A purchase well worth every penny. I have since put about 500 rounds through the pistol and it's still holding a great zero.

Brandon B: Pros: Easy install, bright, budget friendly. For the price you can’t get any better. Put it on my SD9VE as a part of my budget build gun. Haven’t been able to get to the range yet; that’ll be the true test on how quickly I can get it to zero and how well it will hold zero.

Cons: Took forever to get delivered. May need a shim to to fix the zero (we decide after some range time), instructions weren’t that clear.

Definitely will purchase from ADE again
