Quick Check: Verify You Have a Genuine Novak Rear Sight Cut.

A sight pusher tool may be required.
Installation & Overview
Upgrade your 1911 or Novak-cut pistol with a low-profile red dot mounting solution from EGW. This dovetail-mounted optic plate replaces the factory rear sight and allows you to directly mount popular red dot optics without permanent slide machining.
Designed around the Docter footprint, this mount supports optics like the Vortex Venom (open emitter), Vortex Viper, Burris FastFire series, and other compatible red dots. The direct mount design keeps the optic lower than many Picatinny rail adapter setups for improved presentation and a cleaner overall appearance.
Machined in the USA from high-strength 7075 aluminum and finished in matte black hardcoat anodizing, this mount is built for durability while maintaining a lightweight footprint suitable for carry guns, competition pistols, and range builds.
Our 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.
Important: Some manufacturers use licensed Novak-style rear sights that are not true Novak cuts. This mount is designed for genuine Novak dovetails only and will not fit all licensed Novak applications.

“The dovetail on this plate definitely needed hand fitting. Once I filled off enough it fit very tight. The dovetail is a bit Long for my EDCX9. The Vortex Venom fit on this plate perfectly.”

“First the underside facing trigger was not milled enough. When attempting to slide the dovetail, I could clearly see the the underside was hitting the top of the slide. I could not slide a feeler gauge as clearance. After some anting filing and sanding It cleared. However when in place the entire mounting plate was dipping down and not level. Very disappointed with product and installation. Have installed other viper plates from other sources on some of my other guns and no problem. Sorry I through the whole mount in the trash.”

“I purchased this mounting plate after exchanging text messages with Customer Service. I was told and read that it would require some fitting to make it work on my GSG 1911 22lr. Pistol. The factory rear sight was quite easy to remove. The EGW red dot mounting plate required considerable time (about 2 hours)spent filing and fitting. I reworked the Novak dovetail a little at a time until I could push it in by hand to about 1/3 the way into place. I used a small block of hardwood and a small 10 oz. Hammer to drive the sight most of the way into place and finished with a small punch and 10 oz. Hammer. I was very please with the end result, mounted my red dot onto the sight, only took 6 rounds to zero the sight. Over all I'm very happy with the end results and would not hesitate to make another purchase for EGW”

“I would only recommend if you have the equipment to file this down. I had two slides with Novak cuts...both with I dustry standard Novak sights already in them I was replacing. One I didn't file and tried to fit in as directed...it is now stuck and I will have to have it MILLED out of my slide. Basically making a $300 slide useless and will probably cost a hundred or so to mill. The other I filed down the mount on a belt sander and was able to fit it in nicely. It's a great adapter HOWEVER do not trust the mill specs. Check the fit and if it looks too tight file it down.”

“I was nervous about this mount fitting my Springfield 1911. Some internet sources indicate that the rear sight cut on the SA 1911 is smaller than a true Novak. Not true. This is my second mount from EGW. The other was for a S&W Mod. 52. Both drifted into place just like they are supposed to, and the Vortex Venom fit the mount perfectly. My experience with EGW has always been great.”

“You'll have to do a little grinding for it to slide in ( GSG 1911-22). Great fit for the Burris.”
