EGW Trijicon RMR Sight Mount for GI 1911

• GI 1911 dovetail fit: This mount replaces the factory rear sight on compatible GI-style 1911 pistols, giving the slide a red-dot interface without permanent machining and making it easier to return the pistol to its original configuration later.
• Trijicon RMR footprint: Built around the Trijicon RMR mounting standard, it provides a direct platform for popular full-size pistol optics in the same pattern, helping maintain a clean, low-profile setup.
• 7075 aluminum construction: The aluminum body keeps weight low while providing the rigidity needed for slide-mounted use, so the optic stays supported without adding unnecessary bulk to the handgun.
• Matte black hardcoat finish: The non-reflective black finish resists wear from handling and holster use while matching the practical look of a working pistol setup.
• 0 MOA alignment: With 0 MOA built into the mount, the optic sits on a neutral plane suited to general defensive, range, and target applications where a straightforward zero is preferred.

About the EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts Series

EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts are designed as practical optic-mounting solutions for shooters who want to add a pistol red dot without committing to permanent slide work. The series centers on firearm-specific fit, with models made for different rear-sight cuts, optic-ready interfaces, and handgun platforms, so the mount matches the host pistol rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. Within the broader EGW lineup, these mounts sit as purpose-built accessories for modernizing proven handguns for faster sight acquisition and more efficient target tracking.

A defining trait of the series is its focus on established optic footprints and straightforward installation. EGW catalogs versions for several popular pistol and red-dot combinations, including dovetail mounts that replace the factory rear sight and dedicated plates for select optics-ready slides. In practical use, that means shooters can configure a carry, range, or competition pistol around the optic standard they prefer while keeping the setup compact and mechanically simple. The series also reflects EGW's preference for durable materials and a clean, workmanlike finish, with models intended to hold an optic securely while preserving the handling characteristics of the handgun.

About the EGW Trijicon RMR Sight Mount for GI 1911

The EGW Trijicon RMR Sight Mount for GI 1911 is built for shooters who want to bring a classic GI-style 1911 into a red-dot configuration with minimal alteration to the pistol. By replacing the rear sight in the existing dovetail, it creates a practical path to mounting an optic that uses the Trijicon RMR footprint. That approach suits owners who want the speed and target focus of a pistol red dot for range use, training, or competition, but who do not want to machine the slide.

The mount uses an aluminum body with a matte black finish that keeps the assembly discreet and resistant to cosmetic wear. Its 0 MOA inclination keeps the optic on a neutral mounting plane, which is appropriate for typical handgun zero distances and straightforward sight-in. At 45.00 mm in length, the mount stays compact, helping the pistol retain balanced handling while still providing enough surface for secure optic attachment.

Because this is a model-specific handgun mount rather than a universal plate, its value lies in fit and simplicity. It is intended for pistols with a GI-style rear sight cut and for optics that share the RMR mounting standard, so the installation remains clean and purpose-built. For shooters setting up a 1911 for faster sight acquisition, easier tracking through recoil, and a more modern sighting system, this mount provides the interface without changing the character of the pistol more than necessary.

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 is now based in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, United States. EGW designs and manufactures firearm parts and accessories, with a product range that includes components for 1911 pistols, AR platforms, rifles, scope mounts, scope rings, red-dot mounts, and thread protectors.

That background is especially relevant here because EGW has long focused on practical interface parts that solve fitment and mounting problems on real firearms. Its experience with 1911 components and optic-mounting hardware shows in products like this one, where the goal is not to redesign the pistol but to add a dependable mounting surface that suits the platform and the optic standard.
