ADE is releasing the 2023 PRO SERIES for ADE RD3 series that fits a varieties of popular optic footprint on the market. The additional features that the PRO series includes are Multi Reticle Technology(select models),  Motion Awake System and are a new cosmetic redesign by ADE in Oregon City, Oregon.

No- this adpater does the opposite- allows you to mount an RMR on something that is set up to mount a Doctor optic

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Looking at MRD, RMR vs Doctor?

Posted: 4/18/2022 11:31:04 AM EDT

Looking at getting a PSA Dagger built slide. I would like to add a MRD but haven’t decided on one yet. Need to stay under $200 for the MRD so don’t bother suggesting Trijicon $500 options. So in buying the slide before the optic I need to decide which cut. RMR vs Doctor. Crimson Trace says they use “industry standard” mounting. Am I correct that is RMR cut? I also like Vortex but not sure they are in the budget. Also what are the sale prices on the complete cut slides, color does mot matter.

Thanks for the input

I knew you were considering a PSA Compact DaggerTM slide as soon as I saw the word "Doctor [sic]".  The gentleman's name was Bernhard Docter.  I assume PSA intentionally misspells it due to trademark implications (although they never took trademarks into consideration in selecting the name "Dagger").

So in buying the slide before the optic I need to decide which cut. RMR vs Doctor.

There are approximately 20 MRDS's compatible with the Trijicon RMR footprint and 30 MRDS's compatible with the Docter/Noblex mounting standard.  You have plenty of MRDS's to choose from.  I'd settle on an MRDS that suits your budget and application, then allow the MRDS to dictate the footprint / mounting standard, not the other way around.You can get into a Holosun HS407C X2 for under $250.  I'd stretch your budget (or take the time to save an extra $50) and go with the HS407C and the Trijicon RMR footprint.

Also what are the sale prices on the complete cut slides, color does mot matter.

Do you want lightening cuts?  Rear iron sight forward?

I had read Docter on other sites but yes PSA does say doctor cut. May have been a spell check error when entering to the site. Or as you said trying to get around trademark.

Position of sights and lightening cuts are flexible. I know there is a learning curve with MRDs, I shot am M&P 2.0 with the Crimson Trace and liked it but definitely need to learn it. So co-witnessing the sights is a must. Not going to suppress it if that makes a difference. Ideally it will go on my Freedom Wolf Compact frame and possibly be a carry piece if it proves itself.

I think I have decided on this slide configuration in any color and with either the 2XL or 1/3 sights. Now to wait for a sale! Anyone know what these are when on sale? I was watching but they didn’t go on sale over Easter.https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-dagger-complete-doctor-cut-slide-assembly-with-threaded-barrel-extreme-carry-cut-ameriglo-2xl-sights-black-dlc.html

Ended up ordering this one. Added a recoil assembly and an AIM barrel. Going to wait on a good deal for a Vortex but will still be able to hit the range in the mean time.

I wouldn’t suggest a vortex venom. It’s tech is ancient at this point and it’s not where near what I would consider carry/duty grade when compared against competition

I would take a look at Crimson Trace RAD for Doctor footprint
