S&W 1911 Adjustable Sight Red Dot Mount | Fits Vortex Venom, Viper, Burris FastFire & Docter

The EGW red dot sight mount for Smith & Wesson 1911 pistols with adjustable rear sights installs in place of the factory rear sight and provides a low-profile mounting solution for optics using the Docter / Vortex / Burris FastFire footprint.

This mount allows you to install optics like the Vortex Venom (Open Emitter), Vortex Viper, Burris FastFire, Viridian RFX25, and other compatible micro red dots without permanent slide modification.

The mount installs from left to right with the muzzle facing forward. The dovetail uses a progressive taper for easier installation and secure fitment.
