EGW Vortex Razor Sight for Desert Eagle (Post 2017)

• Rear-sight replacement design: This mount installs in place of the factory rear sight, giving the Desert Eagle a red-dot-ready setup without permanent slide machining and making it easier to return the pistol to its original configuration later.
• C-More RTS/STS interface: The mounting pattern is suited to Vortex Razor and compatible C-More RTS/STS optics, providing a direct fit that keeps the sight low over the slide for a more natural presentation.
• Aluminium construction: The lightweight metal body adds minimal bulk to a large-frame handgun while still providing the rigidity needed to keep the optic stable under repeated recoil.
• 0 MOA platform: The flat mounting angle keeps the optic aligned for normal handgun zeroing distances, which suits practical target shooting and hunting use with a slide-mounted red dot.
• Made in the USA: EGW machines this mount domestically, which reflects the company’s focus on firearm-specific fit and consistent machining for secure installation.

About the EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts Series

EGW Red Dot Sight Mounts are built around a simple idea: add a miniature optic to a handgun with a mount shaped for the pistol and the sight footprint, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution. In EGW’s catalog, the series covers firearm-specific plates and dovetail mounts for a wide range of pistols, including models intended for competition, hunting and general range use. A key characteristic of the line is its emphasis on non-permanent installation where the design allows it, especially on rear-sight replacement mounts that let shooters add an optic without machining the slide.

Within the series, EGW offers versions for different optic standards, including mounts for C-More RTS/STS-pattern sights as well as other common micro red-dot footprints. The family is known for its practical mechanical design, compact profile and matte black finish, with the goal of keeping the optic low and secure on the handgun. That approach makes the series especially relevant for shooters who want a cleaner transition to a red dot, whether for faster sight acquisition on the range or a more precise aiming point for handgun hunting setups.

About the EGW Vortex Razor Sight for Desert Eagle (Post 2017)

The EGW Vortex Razor Sight for Desert Eagle (Post 2017) is a dedicated handgun optic mount made for shooters who want to fit a compatible red dot to the later Desert Eagle platform. Its main advantage is that it is designed specifically for the Desert Eagle (Post 2017), so the mount geometry matches the pistol rather than forcing a generic adapter into the job. For a large-frame handgun often used for hunting, silhouette shooting or range work, that model-specific fit matters because it helps keep the optic stable and properly positioned.

This mount uses the C-More RTS/STS mounting standard, making it suitable for Vortex Razor-type optics and compatible C-More-pattern sights. In practical use, that direct interface helps keep the sight low over the bore, which can improve presentation and make the red dot feel more natural when the pistol is brought on target. The 0 MOA inclination also suits conventional handgun zeroing, without adding angle intended for long-range rifle applications.

Its aluminium construction keeps weight down while still providing the stiffness expected from a recoil-bearing optic mount. At 46.00 mm in length, it remains compact and does not add unnecessary bulk to the slide area. The matte black finish gives the mount a subdued appearance that matches modern pistol optics and helps it blend cleanly with the handgun. Overall, this is a purpose-built solution for adding a red dot to a Post 2017 Desert Eagle in a clean, low-profile format.
