Quick Check: Smith & Wesson Revolver Red Dot Mount for drilled and tapped revolvers. Fits: K, L, N and X Frame S&W Revolvers.Mounting Hardware Included: Yes.Optic Footprint: Docter / FastFire / Viper / Venom compatible.Installation: Replaces factory rear sight assembly.
Installation & Overview
The EGW Smith & Wesson revolver red dot mount allows you to mount popular Docter footprint optics directly to your revolver by replacing the factory rear sight. Designed specifically for drilled and tapped Smith & Wesson revolvers, this mount provides a stable, low-profile optic mounting solution without requiring permanent modification to the firearm.
Compatible with optics like the Vortex Venom (open emitter), Vortex Viper, Burris FastFire series, and other Docter footprint red dots, this mount is precision machined from durable 7075 aluminum and finished in matte black hardcoat anodizing for long-term durability and recoil resistance.
If your revolver is not drilled and tapped from the factory, this mount will not fit unless the revolver is properly drilled and tapped by a qualified gunsmith using the standard Smith & Wesson hole pattern.
Due to manufacturing tolerances between firearms, minor fitting may be required.

Fit my 686 and my VortexVenom perfectly. Plate is thin so the sight sits low, couldn't get better. A+++++

Installation of the mount was straightforward and took about 30 minutes trying to not ding up any of the screws. I purchased a Vortex Viper sight and I got two sets of screws with it along with a Pickatiney Mt. The Pickatiney mount would not fit on the base so I tried installing it directly to the base. After trying all the screws that I had I finally found some that would work. Not sure if they came with the mount or the sight.

The mount doesn’t cover the entire area where the original sight was. It seems like an easy fix to extend your mount. Other than that everything else went smoothly.

Thanks for your review. We have listened to our customers and on the next run of these mounts we will be extending the mount to cover the exposed channel.

The red dot fits it nicely. The mount fits the gun but leaves quite a gap where it would act like a recoil lug. And would be so nice if it filled in all the way to the front where the 3rd or front screw is.

Fits perfectly and easy to install. My only wish is that a 6-48 plug screw be included to fill the one open hole left after the install.

Mount fit perfectly. It lowered the optic approximately 3/8 from were it was with the picatinny and adapter. The only thing that would have been nice is two of the proper screws to fill the holes that weren’t used.
