Quick Check: Press fit rear sight replacement optic mount for the Smith & Wesson Model 52.
Fits: Smith & Wesson Model 52
Footprint: Docter / Vortex / Burris FastFire
Material: 7075 Aluminum
Important: Does NOT fit Smith & Wesson Model 41.
The EGW red dot sight mount adapter plate for the Smith & Wesson Model 52 allows you to mount a Vortex Venom, Vortex Viper, Burris FastFire, Docter, or compatible red dot sight directly to your pistol without permanently modifying the slide. This rear sight replacement mount installs into the factory rear sight dovetail, creating a secure and low-profile optic mounting solution for bullseye shooting, target shooting, range use, and precision handgun applications.
Machined in the USA from durable 7075 aluminum and finished with matte black hardcoat anodizing, this EGW optic mount is built to handle repeated use while maintaining a clean, direct-fit setup. Unlike bulky rail adapters, this dovetail mounting system keeps the red dot lower to the slide for faster sight acquisition and a more streamlined profile.
Our red dot mounts are designed to install from left to right with the muzzle facing forward. The dovetail features a progressive taper to allow for easier installation and proper fitment.
Due to manufacturing tolerances between firearms, minor fitting may be required.
