Want to add a red dot sight to your handgun? You've come to the right place. EGW is the pioneer of the optic mounting plate. Our innovative designs allow you to replace a factory rear sight with a rock-solid base, OR adapt an already-milled slide to a different red dot footprint. We provide a secure, precision-machined platform for any mounting challenge, without permanently modifying your pistol.
We offer two primary types of optic mounting plates to ensure you can mount your preferred red dot, regardless of your pistol's setup. To ensure a perfect, secure fit, we always recommend installation be performed by a qualified gunsmith.
We engineered our optic mounting plates to be the most reliable solution on the market. Here’s how we do it:
Yes. This is a perfect use case for our adapter plates. The Trijicon RMR and the Holosun 507k use different mounting footprints. You would need our RMR-to-Holosun-K adapter plate. This plate screws into the RMR holes on your slide and provides the correct new posts and holes for you to securely mount your 507k.
Pistol dovetails can have slight variations from gun to gun, even within the same model. A qualified gunsmith has the tools and experience to ensure the mount is fitted perfectly and securely without damaging your slide. Proper installation is critical for the mount's ability to reliably hold zero under recoil.
