The EGW Advantage: A Perfect, Dedicated Fit

While a universal optic plate might seem versatile, they often lead to a compromised fit and an insecure optic. Our Docter / Noblex red dot adapter plates are engineered for a precise, action-specific fit. This eliminates gaps and creates a rock-solid foundation for your red dot sight, ensuring it holds zero, shot after shot. Don't risk your accuracy on a one-size-fits-all solution; choose the dedicated mount made for your firearm.

Uncompromising Quality & Premium Materials

Every EGW optic plate is CNC machined from high-grade 7075 T6 billet aluminum in our Pennsylvania facility. This process ensures every mount is dimensionally perfect and free from the hidden stresses and inconsistencies found in cheaper, cast plates. We believe in building parts that last a lifetime, which is why we use only the best American-sourced materials.

  • Precision CNC Machining: Guarantees a perfect fit for both your slide and your red dot sight.
  • High-Grade 7075 T6 Aluminum: Delivers an incredible balance of strength and lightweight performance, perfect for the dynamic cycling of a pistol slide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which red dot sights use the Docter footprint?

A wide variety of popular optics use this standard. Some of the most common include the Vortex Viper, Vortex Venom, Burris FastFire 2/3/4, Docter/Noblex sights, and many offerings from brands like Sightmark, UTG, and ADE Advanced Optics. This makes our red dot sight adapter plates for this footprint incredibly versatile.

What is the difference between a Docter and RMR plate?

While they look similar, the Docter and Trijicon RMR footprints are not cross-compatible. The spacing of the recoil lugs and mounting screws are different. Attempting to use the wrong optic mounting plate will result in an insecure fit. It is crucial to match your optic's footprint with the correct adapter plate for your pistol.

Do I need a gunsmith to install this optic plate?

While many of our customers are comfortable installing our mounts themselves, we always recommend consulting with a qualified gunsmith. Proper installation, including cleaning the slide, applying thread locker, and torquing screws to the correct spec, is essential for a secure and reliable setup. An improperly installed red dot mount plate can lead to a loss of zero.
