Ade Advanced OpticsCrusader RD3-009 Red Dot Reflex Sight + Optic Mounting Plate for Taurus PT111 G2, Millennium G2, G2C, G3 with Original Rear Sight, PT140 G2, PT709, PT740, TX22 + Pictinny Plate

I purchased this red dot for my son. He wanted a red dot sight for a new a handgun he purchased. We are very pleased with the MOA on this red dot sight. When considering choices that can go into several hundred dollars don’t overlook this one. It’s a great value and gets the job done! We’ve used it for a few months now and no problems works great. One thing it does take some time to get used to using the sight. The best way to use this sight is two aim with both eyes open when acquiring the target. Traditionally, you close one eye and aim at a target. We found the adjustment and easy transition and really enjoy using this red dot sight. Would highly recommend to anyone in the market for a cost effective red dot sight!

Don't waste your money. Screw broke and optic fell to the ground. Tries the repair recommended from their customer service and the optic wiggled. Optic it self seems fine but mounting hardware is trash.

I love it looks real good on my g2c I’ll definitely keep getting off u guys

One stripped screw hole in the mount, still waiting to hear back from ADE. The optic came with the battery installed and dead. Worked very well with a new battery. Fit my wife’s G2c very well too. If I can get a replacement mount I would be satisfied for the price.

I bought the kit to mount this on a Taurus G2 Millennium (PT111) with the "old" style rear sight. The mount plate that was sent with the optic had a small dent in the front edge that is meant to hold the plate in place in the slide. In theory this would be great, however, the metal is soft enough that during installation, this peen dent basically flattens.I pressed forward - I used blue loctite on the super tiny screw that came out of the rear optic to install the mount plate/adapter. The description said a screw was included, but none of the included hardware fit my slide.Mounting the optic was noneventful. I placed the rubber "shock shim" which was included with the sight, and torqued the two fasteners down to 25 inch pounds. Used a laser boresight to get the dot close to center, and headed to the range.Because this slide was not designed to have an optic mounted on it, I found I had to drastically lower the dot, so that POA and POI were matched. I got fairly close. After a dozen or so rounds, I had to reset zero (not good). Four more shots and reset zero.. well this sucks, right? It wasn't the dot drifting, it was the mounting plate loosening. Like, SLOPPY loose.Ok, back home I go, pull it all apart, used a punch to re-peen the mount plate. tried ALL of the hardware again to see if MAYBE i missed the screw that should hold the mount adapter, nope. Applied red loctite and tighten to 25in/lbs....The plate doesnt work. The recoil was too much for it. I lasted longer with the red loctite, but the recoil began to cycle the power on the optic. Not so I had to turn it back on, but it would shut off, then turn back on - that's odd.This was a fun experiment, but nothing I can run safely. At the end of the day, guns are for safety and if you cant see your target, they're worthless.Caveat - i replaced the slide with a G3 TORO slide (yep, it fits), ditched the mount plate provided with the optic and used the RMR adapter for the slide, and the optic works like a champ.These are fun for plinkers, but sadly, if you choose to run a Taurus CCW, you're gonna need to buy an optic that costs as much as your gun to be safe and reliable.

First time buying and I’m happy with my purchase

The only thing good it the mount but as far as the sight its junk how do you expect someone to sight it in with that little of a dot you can hardly see it but if you till the gun down like way down you see a way bigger red dot but then your shooting in the dirt and i have perfect vision id rather go back to my iron sights that was a waste of 80+ dollars for something i really couldn't use and yes i did as the directions said even look for videos still nothing. So all in all go buy a better high end sight or just use your iron sights that come with your gun

Ill start optic itself isnt terrible, and the fact it come with a pic rail mount is great because im now exclusively using this on my ar till i get a different mount. Took my gun to the range and within 20 shots of .40 s&w from my g2c it was rattling and aiming wherever it wanted. Thankfully the range had a gunsmith (they wouldnt let me change back to irons myself) and i kept the party going with irons. -28 stars for the mount. 4 stars for the optic lol
