EGW Vortex Razor Mount for GI 1911

• Rear-sight replacement design: This mount installs in place of the factory rear sight, giving a practical way to add a pistol red dot without permanent slide machining and making it easier to return the pistol to its original configuration later.
• C-More RTS/STS footprint compatibility: The mount is built for optics that use the C-More RTS/STS mounting standard, including the Vortex Razor, so it provides a direct and secure interface for compact competition-style red dot sights.
• 7075 aluminum construction: EGW machines this mount from 7075 aluminum, a stronger alloy than basic aluminum grades, helping the plate stay rigid under slide movement and repeated recoil.
• Low-profile handgun setup: By mounting the optic directly in the rear sight cut, the design keeps the sight lower than bulkier rail-style adapters, which helps preserve a more natural presentation and a cleaner overall profile on a 1911.
• Matte black hardcoat finish: The hardcoat anodized surface adds wear resistance and reduces glare, which matters on a carry or range pistol where exposed edges and reflected light can quickly show up in use.

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 a specific handgun platform without turning the installation into a permanent machining job. Within EGW's catalog, the series covers a wide range of firearm-specific plates for different rear-sight cuts and optic footprints, so the emphasis is on matching the mount to both the pistol and the sight rather than using a one-size-fits-all adapter. That approach makes the series especially relevant for shooters who want a cleaner fit and a lower optic position on 1911s, Glocks, CZ pistols and other common handgun platforms.

In practical terms, the series includes mounts for footprints such as Docter/Noblex-pattern optics and C-More RTS/STS models, with versions designed for individual slide cuts and optics-ready arrangements. EGW also separates open-emitter and enclosed-sight compatibility where needed, which helps avoid fitment confusion. The design philosophy is straightforward: firearm-specific geometry, durable aluminum construction and a matte black hardcoat finish that suits hard use. For shooters moving into competition, range work or a red-dot-equipped defensive handgun, this series offers a practical bridge between traditional iron-sight pistols and modern miniature reflex optics.

About the EGW Vortex Razor Mount for GI 1911

The EGW Vortex Razor Mount for GI 1911 is a dedicated handgun optic mount made for 1911 pistols with a G.I. style rear sight cut. Instead of adding height with a universal rail adapter, it replaces the rear sight and places the optic in a lower, more integrated position on the slide. That matters on a 1911 because a lower-mounted red dot generally feels more natural in presentation, helping the shooter pick up the dot faster during target transitions or repeated strings on the range.

This version uses the C-More RTS/STS mounting standard and is intended for optics such as the Vortex Razor, as well as compatible C-More-pattern sights. The direct-fit interface keeps the setup simple and avoids unnecessary intermediate parts. With 0 MOA inclination, the mount is configured for straightforward pistol red dot use rather than specialized elevation bias. Its 7075 aluminum body gives the mount the rigidity needed for a reciprocating slide, while the matte black hardcoat finish adds surface durability and keeps reflections subdued.

At 46.00 mm in length, the mount stays compact and proportionate to the 1911 slide. In use, this makes it well suited to shooters who want to modernize a classic GI-pattern pistol for range shooting, practical competition or a familiar red-dot training setup without committing to permanent slide work. The included mounting hardware also simplifies installation and keeps the package focused on a direct, model-specific fit.

About EGW

Evolution Gun Works, commonly known as EGW, 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. That gunsmithing background still shows in the product range: EGW focuses on practical firearm parts and accessories designed around real fitment requirements rather than generic hardware.

EGW is especially well known for scope mounts, scope rings and red dot mounts, alongside a broader catalog that includes 1911 parts, AR components, rifle accessories and thread protectors. For handgun optics, the brand has a strong reputation for making firearm-specific mounting solutions that let shooters adapt established pistol platforms to modern red dot sights with minimal complication. That specialization makes EGW a familiar name among shooters looking for precise fit and straightforward installation hardware.
