Egw Lpa Low Sight Mount For Vortex Viper/Venom Fits Burris Black

The EGW LPA Low Sight Mount is a dovetail-compatible base designed to mount your Vortex Viper or Venom red dot sight directly onto your pistol's rear sight location. This mount drops in where your factory rear sight sits, letting you keep your carry gun running low and fast without dedicating slide real estate to a separate mounting footprint. It's built for shooters who want a proven red dot setup without gunsmithing complications—swap the rear sight, mount your optic, and you're ready to shoot. The progressive taper on the dovetail makes installation straightforward, and the included hardware handles both Vortex and compatible Burris FastFire patterns.

The EGW mount works with Vortex Viper and Venom sights right out of the box, complete with the button head cap screws those optics need. If you're running a Burris FastFire or Docter sight instead, the package includes flat head screws sized for that pattern—one mount, multiple optic options. All fasteners are installed with a 5/64" allen wrench and torqued to 15 in/lbs with blue Loctite for a permanent, rattle-free bond.

This is a straightforward, no-frills solution for shooters ready to run a modern optic on a traditional 1911 or similar platform. Installation should be handled by a qualified gunsmith to ensure your firearm's reliability and your warranty coverage. The mount is compatible with standard LPA-pattern dovetails but won't work with Rock Island 1911 or EAA/Tanfoglio Witness models that use their own LPA/Bomar configuration.

This mount fits standard LPA-pattern dovetail rear sight slots found on most modern 1911s and similar platforms. However, it does not work with Rock Island 1911 models or EAA/Tanfoglio Witness pistols that use a different LPA/Bomar-style rear sight profile.
