ADE Advanced Optics – Red Dot Optic Mounting Plate for 1911 Pistol with Colt G.I. Rear Sight – Compatible with RD3 Series, Vortex Venom Razor Viper, Burris Fastfire and Similar Optics

Solid mount and fits a wide variety of mini red dot sights. Does not fit the bottom of older Optima 2000 pattern sights. dovetail was tight but was not hard to install on Springfield slide. I mounted this on a 9mm 1911 and have run probably 400 rounds through the gun with no problems. Mount is still firmly installed and sight has held Zero well. I must revise rating. This base was mounted on a custom STI based gun with a Springfield slide and a compensated barrel chambered in 40 S&W and carrying a Redfield Accelerator sight weighing 1 oz. I didn't use the gun much over the summer. I recently took to a pin shoot. On the sixth round fired the screws stripped out of the base plate and the sight went flying back past my ear. I will be contacting the supplier for service.

It does what its supposed to do. Fits Burris Fastfire 3 no problem. It did come with an extra set of screw that were a little longer for installing the Fastfire 3. Finish is nice, feels like good quality. For installing it on a 1911 with G.I. Style sights, a good bit of fitting is required. Have not put this to a live fire test yet.

I wanted to put a red dot on my Umarex Colt 1911 CO2 pellet gun to better match my 1911 comp gun. This plate fits correctly, and matched to an ADE RD3-009 red dot, has made a dandy 10 meter training gun. Although I used blue Loctite on the screws, recoil is a non-issue with this setup, at the Umarex 1911 does not have a reciprocating slide.

Looked like it would work great. Installed on 1911 pistol that shoots 45 cap using Loctite as well. On first fire the base flew off and hit me in the face. The screws that came with it are to short and after looking at them they only had 2 threads into the mounting bracket that were stripped off from firing the first round. Also the material it is made from doesn't allow the loctite to firm up even when using the loctite that requires no primer. Don't buy!

Had to do some filing to get it to fit on a RIA 1911, very sturdy so fary, but have yet to take it to the range yet.

So for a review you are suppose to get binoculars 10x. I recieved a magnifying glass, like I'm 80 years old. Fits well after I shaved about 1 MM off of the side. I have a LLAMA which is a Colt 1911 replica. The screws fit just fine. And it came with a set of longer screws I guess after all the reviews. I had a mini green dot laying around and figured I'd put it on something. I ran across this mount by mistake but I am glad I did. I use this for my hunting sidearm. Update. Turn a oit the screws were too small. 6 shots and the sight hit me right in the mouth. So going go Lowes to get replacement screws. Should work. Need to be 3/16 longer. UPDATE: M3 .50 6MM screes that I got on Amazon for less then $2 fit perfectly. Old ones are 3MM so it should hold now.

This product is both durable and precise for a value of a price. It is difficult to install as is and sight for a handgun.

Wasnt expecting the amount of fitting needed to get it to install correctly.
