Egw G.I. Cut Sight Mount For Vortex Viper/Burris Fits 1911 Black

The EGW G.I. Cut Sight Mount for Vortex Viper/Burris is a direct solution for 1911 owners who want to run a modern red dot without permanent slide modifications. This adapter base mounts directly into your existing G.I.-pattern rear sight dovetail, letting you install a Burris Docter-pattern red dot or compatible optic in minutes. It's the kind of pragmatic upgrade that appeals to shooters who value flexibility—keep your iron sights in the fight or swap to glass depending on the mission.

The mount uses an adjustable hex-head screw to lock securely into the dovetail, eliminating wobble and drift. Two included hex-head cap screws attach your sight to the base itself, giving you a solid two-point connection. Because no gunsmithing is required, you can move it between guns or revert to irons without any permanent changes to your slide. That reversibility matters, especially if you're testing a new optic platform or need to stay traditional for a particular role.

Built in black and engineered for 1911s with standard G.I. dovetails, this mount brings the reliability of iron sights together with the speed and accuracy of a red dot. Whether you're running a carry gun, a range toy, or a defensive platform, the EGW adapter lets you decide your sight system without compromising the gun itself.
