The Docter footprint, also called the Docter/Noblex pattern, is used by several popular open-emitter red dots. The optic name alone is not always enough to determine compatibility, especially with newer products such as the Vortex Venom Enclosed. Use the lists below as a starting point and verify your exact optic on the product page before ordering.
Compatibility can vary by individual optic model. The compatibility list on the mount's product page controls.
Match the manufacturer, model and slide configuration shown in the product title and description.
Determine whether your pistol uses a rear-sight dovetail mount or a plate made for a factory optic-ready slide.
Confirm that the complete optic model is included in the individual mount's compatibility list.
EGW optic mounts are precision machined in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. Most plates in this category are manufactured from durable 7075 aluminum unless the individual product page states otherwise.
Rear-sight dovetail mounts are press-fit parts. Minor fitting may be required, and a proper sight pusher is recommended. Always follow the instructions and hardware information supplied with the specific mount.
The Vortex Venom (open emitter) uses the Docter footprint. The Vortex Venom Enclosed uses a different mounting pattern and should be matched with the appropriate RMSc/DeltaPoint Pro category plate when listed.
The common Holosun C Series, K Series and EPS optics do not use the Docter footprint. Holosun 407C/507C models use the RMR category. The 407K, 507K, EPS and EPS Carry use compatible EGW RMSc/DeltaPoint Pro plates.
No. Their mounting dimensions and recoil-lug arrangements differ. Select the category that matches the exact optic and confirm compatibility on the product page.
A compatible dovetail mount replaces the rear sight and normally does not require permanent optic milling. Because dovetails can vary, minor fitting may be required.
No. Hardware can vary according to the firearm, mounting system and optic. Check the individual product page for included hardware and installation information.
Look for the complete model name on the optic or original packaging. “Vortex Venom” and “Vortex Venom Enclosed” should not be treated as the same footprint.
Compare the major mounting patterns before ordering.
