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.

Excellent mount, it took all of about three minutes to remove the rear sight, replace it with this mount and then install the Fastfire on it. It fits the frame perfectly and is very secure at the recommended 15 inch/lbs of torque. Note that it does stick out over the sides of the frame and accumulates some powder fouling but that's not a big deal compared to the very noticeable increase in my ability to hit at extended ranges. No sight alignment to worry about at all, just put the dot on the target and squeeze...

My reason for 3 stars is that one of the screws provided for mounting the sight to the base was very cheap. The socket head on it stripped out without much torque being applied. In fact, I was not installing the sight permanently, just a test fit. I double checked the tool I used and made sure it was the correct size.

Sight base is great. Gun shoots very well with the sight installed. By using the red dot you can see much more than using a scope. Egw was great to order from. Product was shipped quickly and company is great to do business with.
