EGW Trijicon RMR Sight for Desert Eagle (Pre 2017)

• Rear-sight dovetail installation: Replaces the factory rear sight on a pre-2017 Desert Eagle, letting the pistol accept a micro red dot without permanent slide machining.
• Trijicon RMR footprint: Supports the widely used RMR mounting standard, giving access to proven pistol optics and compatible alternatives in the same pattern.
• 7075 aluminum construction: The hard-use alloy keeps the mount light while providing the rigidity needed to hold zero under handgun recoil.
• Matte black hardcoat finish: The non-reflective surface resists wear and helps the mount blend cleanly with the pistol.
• Included mounting hardware: Supplied screws simplify installation and ensure the mount is ready to fit straight from the package.

About the EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts Series

EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts are built around a simple idea: add a modern pistol optic to an existing handgun with as little permanent alteration as possible. The series includes firearm-specific mounting solutions for a wide range of pistols, from competition-oriented designs to established service and sporting handguns. In the lineup, these mounts sit as practical conversion parts for shooters who want faster sight acquisition and a cleaner red-dot presentation without sending a slide out for machining.

A defining trait of the series is its emphasis on dovetail-replacement designs and other model-specific interfaces. That approach keeps installation straightforward while preserving the option to return the pistol to its original configuration later. Across the range, EGW uses durable aluminum construction and a matte black finish suited to everyday carry, range use, and competition setups. The family also spans multiple optic footprints, with versions made for patterns such as Trijicon RMR and Docter-compatible sights, so shooters can match the mount to the optic they already own or plan to use.

About the EGW Trijicon RMR Sight for Desert Eagle (Pre 2017)

The EGW Trijicon RMR Sight for Desert Eagle (Pre 2017) is a handgun red dot mount made specifically for owners of the earlier Desert Eagle pattern who want to move from iron sights to an optic-ready setup. By replacing the factory rear sight, it creates a stable platform for optics that use the Trijicon RMR mounting standard. That makes it a practical choice for shooters who want the speed advantages of a slide-mounted red dot without permanent modification to the pistol.

The mount is tailored to the pre-2017 Desert Eagle geometry, which is important because these pistols differ from later versions at the rear-sight shelf. A model-specific fit helps keep the optic positioned correctly and supports repeatable alignment under recoil. Its 0 MOA inclination suits close- to medium-distance handgun use, where a neutral mounting angle is the sensible choice for red-dot zeroing.

Construction is centered on aluminum, and the official product details specify 7075 aluminum with a matte black hardcoat finish. In practice, that gives the mount the stiffness needed for reliable optic support while keeping added weight low on a large-frame pistol. The compact profile also helps preserve the handling balance of the Desert Eagle rather than making the top end feel unnecessarily bulky. Because mounting hardware is included, the package is set up for a direct installation process with the correct screws supplied by EGW.
