You've chosen your optic. Now, give it the rock-solid foundation it deserves. An EGW red dot adapter plate is the most critical link between your pistol and your red dot sight, precision-machined in the USA to guarantee a perfect fit and a zero that never wavers. Whether you're a competitive shooter, a law enforcement officer, or a citizen defending your home, our optic plates provide absolute reliability. This is the last mount you'll ever need.
We manufacture mounts for hundreds of models across every major optic footprint. Start by choosing your red dot's footprint below, or use the filters on the side to select your specific firearm.
For the battle-tested RMR, SRO, and compatible Holosun optics (407C, 507C, 508T).
Our most versatile plate, fitting the DPP, Shield RMS, Vortex Defender, and Holosun K/EPS series optics.
For the popular Docter footprint, including the Vortex Viper, Venom, and Burris FastFire series.
The perfect, rugged mount for the C-MORE RTS and STS competition red dot sights.
Choosing the right red dot adapter plate is the most important decision you'll make after selecting your firearm and your optic. A high-quality plate ensures your red dot holds zero, withstands recoil, and sits as low as possible on the slide. A poor-quality plate is a liability. This guide will answer all your questions about finding the perfect optic plate for your setup.
Every EGW pistol optic plate is CNC machined from ultra-strong 7075 T6 billet aluminum in our Pennsylvania facility. Unlike competitors who may use weaker 6061 aluminum or cheap castings, we choose 7075 for its superior strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring maximum durability under a lifetime of harsh recoil. We don't make parts that are "good enough"; we manufacture a permanent mounting solution, backed by a lifetime warranty.
An optic "footprint" refers to the specific pattern of screw holes and recoil lugs on the bottom of a red dot sight. The most common footprints are the Trijicon RMR, the Shield RMSc, and the Docter/Noblex standard. Your adapter plate must match your optic's footprint perfectly.
A "universal" plate is a plate that masters none. To accommodate multiple optics, universal plates often have elongated screw holes and shallow, non-specific recoil lugs. This can lead to shifted zeros, sheared screws, and catastrophic optic failure. A dedicated, precision-machined optic mounting plate like ours provides the maximum surface contact and the most secure fit for your specific red dot.
This is a common question! Holosun makes optics for multiple footprints:
• RMR Footprint: 407C, 507C, 508T
• Modified RMSc Footprint: 407K, 507K, EPS, EPS Carry.
Our Leupold/Shield plates are specially modified to fit these "K" and "EPS" series optics perfectly.
We always recommend having a qualified gunsmith perform the installation. However, if you are comfortable doing it yourself, it is critical that you completely clean the threads on the slide and screws, apply thread locker (like Blue Loctite 242), and torque the screws to the proper specification (typically 15 in-lbs). An improperly installed red dot mount plate is the #1 cause of failure.
