Why Choose This EGW Sight Mount
Many shooters face the challenge of adding red dot optics to non-optics-ready Glocks without costly machining. This EGW mount solves that pain point by providing a secure, factory-reversible solution that maintains the pistol’s original profile. The robust 7075 aluminum construction ensures it withstands rigorous use in competition, training, or defensive scenarios while keeping the optic close to the bore axis for enhanced accuracy and speed.
Compatible with a wide range of Glock models (17, 19, 19X, 34, and more) and select clones with standard rear sight dovetails. Note: Not compatible with Glock MOS or optics-ready models.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a sight pusher tool for proper fit due to the press-fit design. Minor fitting may be needed due to manufacturing variances. Professional gunsmith installation is recommended. Torque optic screws to 15 in-lbs with blue Loctite.
Common Questions About Glock Red Dot Mounts
Does this mount require drilling or permanent changes to my slide? No, it installs directly into the existing rear sight dovetail, preserving your firearm’s original configuration.
Which optics are fully supported? It accommodates the full Docter footprint family, including Vortex Viper, Venom, Burris FastFire 1-4, Viridian RFX25, and several ADE, UTG, Crimson Trace, and Sightmark models.
Will it co-witness with standard Glock sights? The low-profile design allows for suppressor-height iron sights to provide lower 1/3 or absolute co-witness depending on your optic and sight choice.
