Egw Sight Mount For Vortex Viper/Venom Fits S&W K/L/N/Xframe Blk

The EGW sight mount for Vortex Viper and Venom red dots is a straightforward way to add a compact reflex sight to your S&W K-frame, L-frame, N-frame, or X-frame revolver without permanent modifications. Instead of drilling and tapping, you simply remove the factory rear sight, install this dovetail mount in its place, and bolt your Vortex optic on top. When you're done running the dot, swap the rear sight back—no gunsmithing required.

This mount fills a real need for revolver shooters who want the speed and target acquisition of a modern red dot without committing to irreversible changes. The design is clean and minimal: you get the mount itself, two button-head cap screws sized for Vortex Viper and Venom sights, and all the hardware you need to complete the installation. A 5/64" Allen wrench is required during setup.

Installation is straightforward. Remove your rear sight from the dovetail, drop the EGW mount in, tighten the set screw if applicable, and secure your red dot with the provided screws torqued to 15 inch-pounds. The instructions recommend placing a small piece of paper between the optic and mount during assembly to prevent Loctite from gumming up the red dot—a small pro tip that saves headaches later.
