EGW Optima/JP Mount for Glock

• Dovetail replacement design: This mount replaces the factory rear sight, letting a Glock accept a compatible micro red dot without permanent slide machining. That makes it a practical option for shooters who want an optic-ready setup while keeping the pistol easy to return to its original configuration.
• Shield RMS/SMS footprint compatibility: The mounting standard supports compact pistol optics in the RMS/SMS pattern, giving the user a low-profile way to add a red dot for faster sight acquisition on carry, range, or competition handguns.
• Aluminium construction: The metal body provides a stable platform for the optic while keeping weight low. On a reciprocating pistol slide, that balance matters for maintaining handling without adding unnecessary bulk.
• 0 MOA interface: A flat mounting angle keeps the optic aligned for normal pistol zeroing distances, which suits defensive, training, and general-purpose handgun use without introducing extra elevation bias.
• Made in USA: Domestic manufacture is part of EGW’s established approach to firearm parts and mounts, giving shooters a product aimed at consistent fit and straightforward installation on the intended platform.

About the EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts Series

EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts are built around a simple idea: give shooters a practical way to add a pistol optic without unnecessary complexity. The series includes firearm-specific mounting solutions for a range of handguns, with versions that fit rear-sight dovetails as well as plates for selected optics-ready slides. That approach lets the line cover both traditional pistols and newer factory-cut models while keeping fitment focused on the individual firearm.

A key characteristic of the series is its emphasis on non-permanent optic installation. Dovetail models replace the factory rear sight, so the slide does not need to be machined for many common setups. Within the broader family, EGW offers mounts for several popular optic footprints and handgun platforms, including Glock-pattern pistols, competition-oriented models, and 1911 variants. The series is intended for shooters who want a clean, low-profile way to mount a red dot for defensive use, range practice, or competition, while preserving the familiar handling of the host pistol. The result is a mount family that focuses on fit, straightforward installation, and compatibility with widely used micro red dot standards.

About the EGW Optima/JP Mount for Glock

The EGW Optima/JP Mount for Glock is a compact handgun optic mount made for shooters who want to equip a standard Glock slide with a micro red dot while avoiding permanent modification. By replacing the factory rear sight in the dovetail, it creates a direct mounting point for optics that use the Shield RMS/SMS mounting standard. In practice, that gives the pistol a cleaner and lower-profile optic setup than many bulkier adapter solutions, which helps preserve natural presentation and fast sight pickup.

Its 0 MOA configuration suits the normal zeroing distances expected from a defensive or sporting handgun, so the mount works naturally with common red-dot applications rather than being tuned for specialized elevation correction. The aluminium construction keeps the mount light enough for slide use while still providing the rigidity needed to support the optic under repeated recoil cycles. At 40.00 mm in length, it remains compact and purpose-built for pistol mounting rather than adding unnecessary overhang.

The matte black finish keeps the appearance subdued and appropriate for both concealed-carry style builds and range pistols. As part of EGW’s handgun mounting range, this model is best suited to shooters who want a reversible optic upgrade for a Glock, whether the goal is quicker target acquisition, easier visual focus with a red dot, or a straightforward way to modernize a familiar pistol platform.
