EGW Optima/JP Mount for Bomar

• Bomar-specific fit: This mount is made for pistols with a Bomar rear sight cut, so it replaces the factory rear sight and adds a red dot without slide machining. That keeps the installation reversible and preserves the pistol’s original layout.
• Low-profile optic position: By mounting the sight directly in the dovetail, the plate keeps the optic lower than many rail-style adapters. The lower position helps with a more natural presentation and a cleaner sight picture on target pistols and competition handguns.
• Shield RMS/SMS footprint support: The mount uses the Shield RMS/SMS mounting standard, giving it compatibility with compact pistol red dots in this footprint family. That makes it useful for slim carry-style optics as well as lightweight range setups.
• Aluminium construction: The aluminium body keeps weight down while still providing the rigidity needed for a handgun optic mount. A lighter plate adds less bulk to the slide area and helps maintain the handling balance of the pistol.
• Matte black finish: The black matte surface reduces glare and gives the mount a subdued appearance that matches most pistol slides and optic housings. In practical use, that means fewer distracting reflections in bright light.

About the EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts Series

EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts are built around a simple idea: add a pistol optic with as little permanent modification as possible. In this series, dovetail-mounted designs replace the factory rear sight so the shooter can fit a red dot without machining the slide, which makes them especially relevant for competition pistols, range guns, and older handguns that were never designed as optics-ready platforms.

Within EGW’s lineup, this family covers a wide range of firearm-specific solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all plate. The series includes mounts for pistols such as the CZ Shadow 2, Glock, and Kimber 1911, along with plates matched to different optic footprints. EGW also groups compatible models around established standards such as the Docter/Noblex pattern, supporting optics like the Vortex Viper, open-emitter Vortex Venom, and Burris FastFire family where applicable.

A defining trait of the series is its practical mechanical design. EGW uses 7075 aluminum and a matte black hardcoat finish on listed examples, aiming for a combination of low weight, solid fit, and everyday durability. The result is a mount family intended for shooters who want a direct, low-profile optic solution for handgun use.

About the EGW Optima/JP Mount for Bomar

The EGW Optima/JP Mount for Bomar is a handgun red dot mount made for pistols that use a Bomar rear sight cut. Instead of adding a bulky rail or committing the slide to permanent machining, this mount replaces the rear sight and creates a direct platform for compact reflex optics. That makes it a sensible option for shooters updating a classic target pistol, a competition 1911, or another Bomar-cut handgun for modern red dot use.

This model uses the Shield RMS/SMS mounting standard, which suits slim, lightweight pistol optics and helps keep the overall setup compact. On a handgun, that matters because a smaller optic and a low mounting position can improve draw consistency, reduce visual bulk above the slide, and make the dot easier to pick up during fast presentations. The 0 MOA inclination also fits the role of a straightforward pistol optic mount, keeping the sight aligned for normal handgun zeroing rather than specialized long-range correction.

Its aluminium construction and 40.00 mm overall length keep the mount compact and light, so it adds minimal mass while still providing a stable interface between slide and optic. The black matte finish gives it a subdued appearance and helps limit reflections. In practical use, this EGW mount is about converting a Bomar-cut pistol into a cleaner, lower-profile red dot platform while keeping the installation simple and reversible.

About EGW

Evolution Gun Works was founded by George Smith in 1991 and is based in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, United States. The company began as a gunsmithing shop in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and grew into a manufacturer focused on firearm parts and accessories. Its product range includes scope mounts, scope rings, red dot mounts, thread protectors, and parts for platforms such as the 1911, AR-pattern rifles, and other sporting and tactical firearms.

EGW is particularly well known for practical mounting solutions that let shooters adapt firearms to modern optics with minimal complication. That background is directly relevant to handgun optic plates and dovetail mounts, where precise fit, repeatable alignment, and durable machining matter more than unnecessary complexity. The company’s catalog reflects a strong emphasis on American-made mounting hardware for both pistols and rifles.
