Egw Sight Mount For Vortex Viper/Venom Fits Walther 1911-22 Blk

The EGW Sight Mount for Vortex Viper/Venom is a direct-fit optics adapter designed to mount your red dot sight on a Walther 1911-22 pistol without permanent modifications. If you've picked up a compact red dot to run on your .22 trainer or competition gun, this mount replaces your factory rear sight and provides a rock-solid platform for optics like the Vortex Viper or Venom. The dovetail design uses a progressive taper that slides in smoothly, and you can swap it out just as easily if you want to go back to iron sights—no gunsmithing, no alterations.

Installation is straightforward: remove your rear sight, install the EGW mount into the dovetail, and secure the provided mounting hardware with the included 5/64" allen wrench. The package comes with two button head cap screws (for Vortex optics) and the fasteners you need to get running. Blue Loctite and a 15 in/lbs torque spec keep everything locked down without over-tightening the delicate sight base. If you've never mounted a red dot before, having a qualified gunsmith handle the install is the smart move—dovetails vary, and you want it done right.

This is a no-gunsmith-required upgrade for shooters who want to keep their 1911-22 versatile. Swap back to irons for a match stage, throw the red dot on for a casual range day. Because it's a direct replacement for the rear sight, there's no permanent commitment, and no worries about warranty issues from drilling or welding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this mount work with my Vortex Viper or Venom?

Yes. The EGW mount is designed to accept Vortex Viper and Venom red dot sights and comes with the correct button head cap screws for those optics. Burris FastFire and Docter sight users will need flat head cap screws (also available from EGW separately).

Can I remove this mount and go back to my factory rear sight?

Yes. Since the mount replaces your rear sight in the factory dovetail, you can uninstall it and reinstall your original rear sight at any time. No permanent alterations are made to the pistol.

What's included in the box?

The mount includes two button head cap screws (for Vortex optics), mounting hardware, and installation instructions. You'll need a 5/64" allen wrench to install it, and blue Loctite is recommended to secure the mounting screws.

Should I have a gunsmith install this?

While the installation process is straightforward—remove the rear sight, insert the EGW mount into the dovetail, and tighten the fasteners—having a qualified gunsmith perform the work ensures proper fit and torque spec adherence. This is especially recommended if you're unfamiliar with dovetail installations.
