Egw Adj Sight Mount For Vortex Viper/Venom Fits Kimber 1911 Blk
$44.99
The EGW Adjustable Sight Mount for Vortex Viper and Venom red dot sights gives you a clean, co-witnessed way to run a modern optic on your Kimber 1911. This dovetail mount replaces your rear sight and accepts either Vortex Viper or Venom footprints, letting you upgrade your pistol's sighting system without permanent modifications. If you ever want to go back to iron sights, you can remove the mount and reinstall your original rear sight—no gunsmithing required. The progressive taper dovetail design makes installation straightforward, and all necessary hardware comes in the box.
EGW designed this mount with proper installation in mind. The included button head cap screws (for Vortex optics) and mounting hardware are engineered to work with your 1911's dovetail. Setup takes minutes: remove the rear sight, slide in the EGW mount, and secure it with the provided screws using a 5/64" allen wrench. EGW specs torque at 15 in/lbs and includes blue Loctite-friendly hardware. The mount's design allows you to place a thin shim between the red dot sight and the mount itself during installation—a trick that keeps Loctite off your optic and makes future removal easier if needed.
This is a purpose-built solution for shooters who want to run Vortex Viper or Venom dots on a 1911 platform while keeping the option to revert to iron sights. Whether you're setting up a competition gun, a carry pistol with a modern sight picture, or a range toy, the EGW mount handles the job without requiring slide milling or permanent alterations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mount fit my Kimber 1911 with adjustable rear sights?
Yes. This EGW mount is designed for Kimber 1911 models with adjustable rear sights (for windage and elevation). Simply remove the rear sight and install the mount in the dovetail.
Can I switch between the red dot mount and my original rear sight?
Absolutely. The mount is reversible—you can remove it at any time and reinstall your original rear sight without any permanent modifications to the gun.
What hardware is included, and what tools do I need?
The mount comes with two button head cap screws and all necessary mounting hardware. You'll need a 5/64" allen wrench to install the screws. Blue Loctite is also recommended (though not included) for secure fastening.
Will this work with Burris FastFire or Docter red dots?
This mount is designed for Vortex Viper and Venom sights. While the same mounting footprint may fit Burris FastFire or Docter optics (which use different fastener heads), this specific product is optimized and tested for Vortex red dots on the Kimber 1911 platform.
