Egw Bomar Cut Sight Mount For Vortex Viper/Venom Fits 1911 Black
$44.99
The EGW Bomar Cut Sight Mount for Vortex Viper and Venom red dots is a direct-mount solution designed for 1911 pistols with Bo-Mar-pattern rear sight dovetails. This adapter base lets you run a compact red dot optic on your 1911 without sliding or milling your slide — a straightforward way to modernize a classic platform. If you're carrying or competing with a 1911 and want the speed and accuracy of a red dot sight, this mount bridges the gap between your existing dovetail and Vortex optics that use a Burris Docter-compatible footprint.
The design leverages your 1911's existing rear sight cut, so installation is non-invasive. An adjustable hex-head screw locks the mount securely into the dovetail, holding everything rigid under recoil. The package includes two hex-head cap screws to secure your Vortex sight to the base, so you're ready to shoot once you bolt it on. No gunsmithing, no permanent modifications — just pull your rear sight, slide this on, and mount your optic.
This is a purpose-built solution for shooters who want to preserve their 1911's original slide while adding modern optics capabilities. Whether you're setting up a duty gun, a competition pistol, or a carry piece, keeping the firearm unmodified is a huge plus if you ever want to switch mounts or go back to iron sights.
