Review: Best option for a Taurus - Amazing product. Mounted perfectly on a 2007 Taurus G2C 24/7 9mm. I have not shot it yet. But dot is bright. I tested the shake awake function and it works perfectly. Overall best bang for your buck!!! I did a ton of research for an older Taurus with wide rear sight. Hope this helps so you don’t have to spend days looking for options. FYI ADE has great customer service. They email you back in a timely manner
Review: Broke - I bought this back in September of 2024. I shot about 200 rounds using it, and the glass shattered. Customer support and desertcart both told me the warranty should be covered by the other company. I went back to the stock sights shortly thereafter. Would not recommend.

## Features

- INCLUDES RED DOT + PLATES – Installing the aftermarket optic plate is not simply “plug and play”. We recommend having a qualified gunsmith to install. Comes with a ADE RD3-009 red dot, a Picatinny plate and a pistol optic plate to REPLACE the rear sight of G2c, G2s, G2, PT111 G2, Millennium G2, and TX22 Pistols. This plate also fits Taurus G3 with Original Rear sight (see photo)
- NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SOME MODELS – This plate does NOT fit G3 with NEWER FACTORY STEEL SIGHT, G3C, please search "ADE G3C/GLOCK PLATE" on desertcart. Does NOT fit Taurus new TX22C (TX22 Compact) which is Optics Ready, please see ADE RD3-018 SPIKE and RD3-021 NUWA (and NUWA PRO) and RD3-030 Apollo fit directly without any plate/adaptor. Does not fit TX22 Gen2.(only fits original TX22)
- INSPECT SIGHT COMPATIBILITY – Does NOT fit the Taurus G2/G2C Generation 2 that has a steel/small rear sight. Please inspect the photo before purchasing. These variants use a different dovetail design not supported by the included mounting plate, which may result in improper fit or failure to hold zero.
- BUILT TO ENDURE – Shock proof, fog proof, and waterproof for 30 minutes under 4ft water. Fully windage and elevation adjustable and lockable; Unlimited Eye Relief. Full metal construction with glass lens. No plastic body, no plastic lens.
- CRISP DOT + LONG LIFE – 5 MOA. Operates with a single CR2032 battery (installed underneath). Multiple brightness settings. 10000 hours battery life on the brightest setting. . Approximately 1.01"H x 1.9"L x 1.1"W
- MOTION SENSOR ACTIVATION – This RD3-009 is the newest version that is equipped with Motion Awake Technology. While the red dot is turned on, the red dot illumination goes to sleep after five minutes of inactivity, but when any motion or vibration is detected, it instantly switches on illumination at the previous brightness setting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best option for a Taurus

### ⭐⭐⭐ Dovetail was loose on a G2C
*by D***S on January 20, 2026*

At first, I was very happy with the Red Dot and mounting plate. Mounting was easy. The G2C had a very small screw to hold the dovetailed mounting plate in place, but it all installed smoothly. I used a bore site to get set up for a good start and went out for some live fire sighting. my G2C is a 40cal S&W so 10 shots for a magazine. When I got to my second mag, I started to get frustrated, not being able to get the Red Dot sighted in. At this point, I noticed the mounting plate was moving and stopped. Starting over, and being concerned about the small size of the plate mounting screw, I determined that I really needed the dovetail mount to be tight. I took some thin (.003 inch) aluminum to use in the interface of the dovetail to tighten up the mount. I was able to get two of the thin strips (about .003" x .065" x .75") in between the provided dovetailed mounting plate and the dovetail on the gun. Looking at the hole for the mounting screw with one shim in front and one shim in back, it seemed like it would be a better fit with both shims towards the front end of the gun. I used blue thread lock on the front dovetail interface (with my two layers of shims) and back dovetail interface, as well as the small screw holing the mounting plate in place. I let it dry for 3 days and went back out to see how it all worked. I ran 20 rounds through the gun, and the mounted sight is still tight. I really wished that I had thought to use the bore site to get the Red Dot roughed in before I took it out to shoot because I was so far off, I did not get it sighted in. I came back and bore sighted the gun again and am ready to give it a try for the third time. I really like how the Red Dot turns itself on when I pick up the gun, but I'm not sure how that would affect the battery life if this was my main carry weapon.
