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.

Removed rear sight of S&W 350 Legend revolver by loosening one screw. Pre drilled holes on top of revolver lined up perfectly with holes in red dot mount and mount was secured with provided screws. Burris fast fire III red dot bolted right on to top of mount. Perfect! Didn'teven need picatinny rail. Highly pleased.

I have several of these on Ruger GP100s and a S&W 610, S&W Model 19 Carry Comp and a S&W model 27. As my eyes age, I’ve put red dots on my carry pistols. These have brought the fun back to shooting wheel guns. I have two more GP 100s I’ll soon be purchasing these for. They stay tight under heavy recoil and I only wish you made one for the Kimber K6! I recommend them for anyone that loves wheelguns but can no longer see the front sight effectively.

The fit was perfect. It mounted to my S&W 686 plus, and to my Vortex Venom easily and solidly.

Despite EGW's response 9mos ago that they are going to address complaints, they are not and have no intention to do so. This is the information that I was just given, in stark contrast to the information from 2 days ago when I called and ordered! I was assured that this used 3 screws and would completely cover the top strap of my X-frame. It does not. Frankly, leaving the front of the revolver's frame with exposed screw hole and milling looks like absolute hell with this product installed. I'm extremely disappointed. In fairness, all prior orders and dealings with EGW have been first rate!!!

Hi, thanks for contacting us. We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with our products and had received some incorrect information. Our S&W mounts previously had only used one factory hole, most are now updated to use two. We do not have any that use the third hole. We have passed the information along to our product development team. Thank you for using our products in the past, we look forward to working with you in the future.

Easy install. Lowest possible mounting option. Retained zero so far on Model 27.

Very easy to install, nice light weight. Fits the Fast Fire II perfectly. I can count on EGW to have the products I need.

I used mine on a Model 69, and the fit was perfect. No problems at all.
