EGW Optima/JP Mount for S&W M&P

• Direct-fit S&W M&P mounting solution: This mount is made specifically for the Smith & Wesson M&P, giving the optic a stable interface that helps maintain alignment under repeated slide movement and recoil.
• Shield RMS/SMS mounting standard: The Shield RMS/SMS interface supports compact pistol red dots in a low-profile format, helping keep the sight close to the slide for a natural presentation and faster dot acquisition.
• Aluminium construction: The aluminium body keeps weight low while still providing the rigidity needed for a dependable optic platform on a handgun.
• 0 MOA inclination: A 0 MOA mount keeps the optic level with the pistol’s bore line, which suits close- to medium-distance handgun use where a straightforward zero is preferred.
• Compact 40.00 mm form: At 40.00 mm in length, the mount adds minimal bulk, preserving the handling qualities of the pistol while creating room for a compatible micro red dot.

About the EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts Series

EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts are built around a simple idea: give shooters a firearm-specific way to add a pistol optic without unnecessary bulk or permanent modification where a dovetail solution is appropriate. Within EGW’s catalog, the series covers a wide range of handgun platforms and optic footprints, including models for Docter-pattern sights such as the Vortex Viper, open-emitter Vortex Venom, Burris FastFire, and similar designs. The series also includes plates for selected optics-ready slides, so the concept extends from traditional rear-sight replacement mounts to modern adapter solutions.

A defining trait of the line is its focus on precise fitment and practical compatibility. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, EGW builds mounts around specific pistols and specific optic standards, which helps keep the sight secure and properly positioned. The series is intended for shooters who want a cleaner way to equip a handgun for range use, defensive training, or competition, while keeping the installation as straightforward as the host pistol allows. Across the family, the emphasis stays on compact dimensions, matte black finishes, and a low-profile layout that supports fast sight acquisition.

About the EGW Optima/JP Mount for S&W M&P

The EGW Optima/JP Mount for S&W M&P is a compact handgun optic mount designed for shooters who want to fit a compatible micro red dot to a Smith & Wesson M&P platform with a dedicated, model-specific interface. Its Shield RMS/SMS mounting standard makes it relevant for slim, lightweight reflex sights that suit the handling characteristics of a pistol, especially where a low-mounted optic helps the shooter find the dot quickly during the draw or when transitioning between targets.

The mount uses an aluminium body to balance strength and low mass, an important detail on a reciprocating slide where unnecessary weight can affect handling. The 0 MOA inclination keeps the optic on a neutral plane, which is appropriate for typical handgun zeroing distances and avoids adding complexity to setup. With a length of 40.00 mm, the mount remains compact enough to preserve the pistol’s overall proportions instead of creating an oversized platform.

In practical use, this type of dedicated red dot sight mount is most useful for shooters who want a cleaner installation than improvised adapter solutions. A mount matched to both the pistol family and the optic footprint helps with repeatable positioning, secure attachment, and consistent zero retention. That makes it a sensible choice for range shooting, training, and general handgun optic use where reliability and a low-profile fit matter more than unnecessary bulk.

About EGW

EGW, short for Evolution Gun Works, was founded by George Smith in 1991. The company began as a gunsmithing shop in Doylestown, Pennsylvania and later established itself in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, United States. Its work centers on designing and manufacturing firearm parts and accessories, with a catalog that covers scope mounts, scope rings, red dot mounts, thread protectors, AR components, rifle parts, and parts for 1911 pistols.

That background is especially relevant in the optics-mount category because EGW has long focused on the mechanical side of firearm setup: how an optic interfaces with the gun, how securely it stays in place, and how precisely the mount fits the host platform. For pistol optics in particular, EGW is well known for producing firearm-specific mounting solutions that let shooters pair modern red dots with established handgun models in a practical, robust format.
