Ade Advanced Optics Huracan Green Dot Reflex Sight for Handgun - Compatible with Doctor/Venom/Fastfire Red Dot Footprint

The product was packaged very well, the directions were good and the sight was easy to setup after I installed the battery. I have installed/tested it on AR 15 & Ruger SR22. I used adapter mount plate for SR22. I used a bore sighter to coincide the dots at 75 feet. I like green dot betted than red and it was clear and sharp once I took it outside for the sight in process. The sight holds zero very well in over 1000 rounds (AR 15 and over 3000 SR22) so far. The battery life should be good since I use it on second lower brightness outside and it is more than enough for me. The instructions are easy to follow. The low profile and size makes it easy to carry. Recommend it as low budget quality product.

Very compact, very bright, solid battery life, feels very well made, and it's tough. I've had it for years, it's been on handguns and shotguns. It been dropped, slammed around, gotten wet, dirty, etc. Still holds zero and works like new. I have to only give 4 stars because of the button. It's very small and located in such a horrible location. It is extremely difficult to operate efficiently. You have to be very deliberate/forceful to operate it. I am generally not a fan of single-button brightness adjustment anyway (having to cycle all the way though every setting to get to where you want) but with this button being on the bottom front of the sight, you finger blocks the screen when making adjustments. This means you can't see through the dot while changing settings. To get it just right, you have to press it once, then look through it, then press it again, then look again, etc. and if you go to far you have to go all the way back around. I know this sounds nit-picky, and I suppose it is, but I just can't justify 5 stars with this feature. If the button was anywhere else I could give 5 stars. Otherwise, this thing is phenomenal for the price. If it's going on a range gun it doesn't matter if it takes a little bit to set it for your ambient lighting conditions. Buy it and enjoy. However, this is not a good option for a self-defense/combat pistol.

I had previously purchased an Ade red dot reflex sights for my Browning Hi Power in .40 S&W pistol. It would lose its zero after only a few shots due to the stout recoil. I recently got an add stating that the durability of the Ade sights had been greatly improved. I was somewhat skeptical about the add so I e-mailed Ade Advance Optics about my doubts. They assured me that the durability problem has been solved. I really liked the idea of a 3 moa dot in a reflex sight so I got one for NRA Bullseye shooting in my club's league. The smaller dot does not obscure as much of the 10 ring as a 5 moa dot does. I've put well over 100 rounds through my Hi Power and it has held zero perfectly. The adjustable intensity of the green dot is great for shooting outdoors in bright sunlight or indoors. I've already recommended this sight to fellow club members because I'm so pleased with it.

Looks to be of decent quality at first but noticed it seemed to drift after each small range session . Pulled screws, reset with blue loctite, next 10 round was a little high again. Less than 200 rounds of 9mm through and pulled it out today, dot is almost a foot high and 6-8x bigger than it used to be. This is not a trustworthy item for something you would want to depend on even a little. Airsoft maybe. Real thing this just isn’t there. I will try to file a warranty claim but this is 100% toy status going forward. It was worth a gamble, but this is a loss.

OK; first impressions count. The ADE sight arrived in a fitted foam package inside an attractive and very sturdy two-piece fiberboard box. This company obviously takes pride in their product. Included with the sight are: 1) a fitted rubber cap that covers the entire sight, 2) an Allen wrench for opening the battery compartment inside the base, 3) a screw driver for making sight adjustments, 4) a 1 3/8 inch dial that fits over the screw driver shaft for precise indexing of sight adjustments and 5) a cleaning cloth. The sight itself is very well made and well finished. It is SMALL -- about half the size of other reflex sights that I have encountered. It is STREAMLINED -- no protruding knobs or battery boxes of any kind [the combined on/off/brightness switch is a rubber covered push button on the front of the sight, below the window, and is invisible when shooting]. The sight mounts very low over the pistol's bore; just above the top of the front sight. All of this combines to provide an uncluttered view that encourages shooting with both eyes open. It took only about 30 seconds to mount the ADE sight to the rail on my Ruger MK IV 22/45 Lite. It comes off just as quickly and maintains its zero when remounting, provided you position it in the same cross slot. Sighting in at 20 yards required only a few minutes and two sight adjustments to center the group in a two inch bulls eye. Criticisms? Yes. The owner's manual is sketchy. e.g. It does not tell you the value of the graduations for the sight adjustments. And I would prefer a dot smaller than 3 MOA. The size of the dot precluded using a one-inch bulls eye for sighting in. Overall I really like the sight. It is small streamlined and clear. It is easy to use and has an adequate range of brightness settings. If it proves to be durable in the next month, or so, I will buy a couple more. Jim

For what it is, price isn't bad, quality isn't bad, but if you're going to pay BB gun optic prices, put it on a BB gun... A. 22LR wrecked this optic in under 150rnds

Works well.
