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.

It arrived in 3 days, packaging was intact. It was easy to mount. The Vortex Venom attached perfectly. It is a solid mounting system.

I bought this plate to mount my Truglo Trutec Micro to my 686+ and it fits great. This was the lowest profile mount I could find, as my goal was to get the dot as close to iron-sight level as possible to keep aiming as normal as possible. I deducted stars because of the mounting hardware. I dislike that the red dot mounting screws were hex/Allen key and the plate mounting screws were torx. I wish they were all torx to keep consistent. Also, I rounded out one of the Allen key screws when I began to snug up my red dot. So I'm going to purchase 6-32 torx screws elsewhere anyway to replace the stripped Allen ones with. Small Allen keys are never the answer, they are basically round holes at that size. Hopefully I can get them removed without having to drill them

The threads stripped out far too easily. Couldn’t even get to torque. Questionable 7075.

it installed real easy the only thing is the plate does not cover all of the slot for the old rear sight.
