EGW Vortex Viper/Venom Sight Mount For S&W 1911 Product description

  1. Precision Engineering: This EGW mount is meticulously CNC-machined from robust 6061-T6 aluminium, ensuring a perfect fit and unwavering stability. The precise manufacturing guarantees optimal alignment and a secure platform for your red dot sight on the S&W 1911, crucial for maintaining accuracy during rapid target acquisition in competitive shooting and hunting scenarios.

  2. Optimal Compatibility: Specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with S&W 1911 pistols, this mount provides a dedicated and reliable interface for red dot sights adhering to the Docter/Noblex mounting standard. This includes popular models like the Vortex Viper and Vortex Venom, allowing for quick and clean installation without custom modifications.

  3. Enhanced Durability: Crafted from high-grade aluminium and finished with a hard-anodized coating, this mount is built to withstand the rigorous demands of frequent use and harsh conditions. It offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring long-term performance and reliability for hunters and tactical users who depend on their gear.

  4. Low Profile Design: The mount features a sleek, low-profile design that integrates closely with the S&W 1911 slide. This minimal footprint ensures that your red dot sight sits as low as possible, enhancing the ergonomics of your pistol, facilitating easier co-witnessing with existing iron sights (if applicable), and reducing potential snag points for concealed carry or holstering.

Hi folks, is this suitable for SW 1911 E-Series pistol?

by Piotr

Yes, the EGW Vortex Viper/Venom Sight Mount (SKU: EGW49330) is fully compatible with the Smith & Wesson 1911 E-Series pistols. 

 

Quick Compatibility Breakdown


- Design Fit: This mount is specifically engineered for S&W 1911 models, including the E-Series (e.g., E-Series BE, CS, or Pro Series variants). It replaces the factory rear sight dovetail with a precision-machined aluminum plate that secures the Vortex Viper or Venom red dot directly—no adapters needed.


- Key Specs Matching E-Series:


  - Slide width and dovetail profile: Matches the standard 1911 rear sight cut on S&W E-Series (typically Novak-style, ~8.4 mm wide / 0.330").
  - Height: Provides co-witness with standard-height iron sights if you retain the front sight.
  - Material/Finish: 7075-T6 aluminum, black anodized to match S&W's scandium or stainless frames.

 


- Installation Notes: 


  - Requires gunsmithing to mill the slide if your E-Series doesn't already have a red dot cut (most stock E-Series don't). EGW recommends a qualified armorer.
  - Torque screws to 1.7-2.3 Nm (15-20 in-lbs); includes thread-locker for stability.
  - Works with both 108 mm (4.25") and 127 mm (5") barrel E-Series models.
