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.

I had an early red dot that I put on my revolver many years ago with a weaver mount that I had made up for it. That mount was about a half-inch higher than the new EGW mount as well as the early red dot being taller, it worked but was not instinctive at all. This new mount is well thought out and considerably more natural and comfortable to shoot

I am not using this product, I have set it aside. Maybe sell it at a gun club swap meet. There are two problems: 1. This does not cover the front of the open sight channel. One of the screw holes there is also exposed. Ugly visuals on the revolver. This was not described in the literature. 2. The mount only picks up one of the three pre-drilled holes in the top strap. About 3-4 months ago EGW said they were changing the design to pick up two of the three holes. Unfortunately, the one I received was the old design. I am not comfortable at all with a single screw holding the sight on. I bought an EGW Picatinny rail next. I installed that (using all 3 holes!), only to find out that a substantial gap remained between the recoil lug and the back of the frame. So, sorry to say that came off and got chucked in the spare parts bin too. My Hex Dragonfly is now comfortably and securely mounted with a Brand X mount...
