Christian Oropeza: The dot it self isn’t that bright but it is still a good reticle for an everyday carry. Wish it was a bit brighter but still does the job.

Zvolts: I got this red dot sight on sale for my Springfield Hellcat OSP. And because of how well it works with the HC OSP, I didn’t have to spend additional money on a mounting plate and suppressor-height back up sights. It mounts directly to the HC OSP-cut slide (no mounting plate) and it has a notch down the center to allow the stock HC iron sights to co-witness through it.

I was able to get it zeroed quickly and was seeing tighter shot groups almost immediately.

So far all of it’s features (shake-to-wake, ambient light sensor and auto shutoff) are working as advertised.

This is a well thought-out and executed, from a manufacturing standpoint, product. I couldn’t be happier with it.

RatheonRatheon: 4/13/23 Finally received my replacement micro rad. Not the best experience.

3/30/23 Sent another follow up email. Not one response since my initial email for warranty on the cracked glass. So maybe they really don't have a warranty.

3/25/23. Sent another follow up email. No response yet. Update 3/21/23, have not heard back from CT customer service. I sent in my warranty request with picture and documentation on the 12th. Sent a follow up email on Sunday the 19th. No response. So much for the warranty. Your mileage may vary, but definitely not buying another CT product.

Update 3/12/23, the glass cracked on the bottom right corner. The gun has never been droppped. I have put about 400 rounds through the gun. Pretty disappointed! I wouldn't trust this red dot. Look elsewhere. I have other dots with several thousand rounds and they are perfect.

So, I purchased the green version of the standard RAD. I think this is a complete fail on CT. It is not very bright and pretty unuseable.

That being said, I loved the footprint for the M&P shield plus. Doesn't hang over the side and is sleek and works really well with that gun. It co-witneses the shield...

MAL: I paired with a Springfield Hellcat OSP, mounted perfectly with no modifications. The unit lined up great with iron sights for co-witnessing. Fitment is as if it was made specifically for the handgun.

Easily adjustable...some may not like that adjustments don't have clicks, but I like that it has finer tuning capability than one MOA clicks...I don't see that I will ever adjusting for windage or drop for specific shots, so the more analog adjustment allows me to fine-tune to exactly where I want it calibrated.

Nice green dot on a high quality glass screen. The green dot is the perfect size, and the screen is a good compromise of being small enough for concealed carry but large enough for quick acquisition. Using the optic made a substantial improvement for me in speed getting on target, as well as accuracy.

Once zeroed, the sight stays very consistent. I occasionally check against a bore sight to verify it has not moved. It is very durable...the unit is well-constructed to endure the bumping and banging to which an everyday carry is subjected.

One suggestion to the manufacturer...consider changing the color of the storage cover from black to a bright...
