Egw Lpa Sight Mount For Vortex Viper/Venom Fits 1911 Black
$44.99
The EGW LPA Sight Mount for Vortex Viper/Venom is a dovetail-mounted carrier designed to let you run a quality red dot sight on your 1911 pistol. This mount replaces your rear sight and accepts Vortex Viper or Venom reflex sights, giving you a modern aiming solution without permanent modifications to your frame. The progressive-taper dovetail design makes installation straightforward, and the mount can be removed and your original rear sight reinstalled whenever you want to switch back.
This is purpose-built for 1911 shooters—whether you're running a stock Sig Sauer, Springfield, Rock Island, STI, or Iver Johnson 1911—who want the speed and reliability of a red dot without gutting their gun. EGW engineered the dovetail geometry to fit a wide range of 1911 variants, making it one of the more practical drop-in sight mount options for the platform. Because it uses the existing dovetail cut, you're working with what your gun was designed for rather than relying on permanent modifications.
Installation is a gunsmith or experienced shooter task: you'll remove the rear sight, slide the mount into the dovetail, and secure your red dot with the included mounting hardware. EGW supplies two button-head cap screws (for Vortex sights) and recommends blue Loctite on the fasteners. The whole setup preserves your option to go back to iron sights if needed. Because this involves removing and reinstalling components, we recommend having a qualified gunsmith handle the work to ensure proper fit and function.

Frequently Asked Questions
What 1911 models does this mount fit?
EGW engineered this mount to fit a broad range of 1911 variants, including Sig Sauer (Super Target, Match Elite, Target, Max), Springfield Range Officer and Loaded models, Rock Island match and standard models, STI (Trojan, DVC 3 Gun, DVC Limited, DVC Classic), and Iver Johnson Eagle models in various finishes and calibers.

Will this work with my Vortex Viper or Venom?
Yes. This mount is designed to accept both Vortex Viper and Venom reflex sights. EGW includes button-head cap screws for Vortex optics. You'll apply blue Loctite to the screws and torque them to 15 in/lbs to secure the sight to the mount.
Can I remove this mount and go back to my rear sight?
Yes. The mount slides into your existing 1911 dovetail cut and does not permanently modify the gun. You can remove it and reinstall your original rear sight at any time, making this a reversible upgrade.
Do I need a gunsmith to install this?
We recommend having a qualified gunsmith install and check this mount. Proper dovetail fit and torque of the red dot fasteners are important for reliable function and safety. Improper installation can affect reliability and may void your firearm's warranty.
