EGW Docter Sight Mount for Glock

This thing is rock solid and literally no light between slide and the mount. Best mount of this type that you can buy. After calling EGW before install and speaking with a tech., here are the installation tips I have found that might help with your install: 1.) INSTALL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT with muzzle pointing away. Probably the single most important thing I heard. That is b/c this mount is tapered; you can clearly see that when looking at it. I am wondering how many other reviewers did not know this. 2.) Putting the part in the freezer helps. 3.) EGW also suggested using a couple of drops of blue Loctite in the dovetail to aid as a lube during install but then it also does what Loctite is supposed to do. 4.) Use a sight pusher! They even recommended the HJP sight pusher easily found via an Amazon search. It worked perfectly.This was mounted on my gun with zero issues following the above in 10 minutes. No hammering, so marring, no uncomfortable "I am about to F-up my gun" moments, no swearing.FYI my regular gunsmith said the EGW mount, less having your slide milled, is the absolute best option. Do not even think about the cheaper versions you can find on Amazon.Good luck.

Worked well on my 17 with a Vortex Venom. Installation takes a bit of force, I highly suggest using either a press or a high quality sight pusher as this mount is an interference fit and would be a pain to do with a hammer without marring the slide or plate. I suggest tossing the part in the freezer for a bit before install to make it a little easier to get into the slide.

This was very easy to add and is secure on my Gen 5 G17!! Mounted a vortex venom and works great!!

This sight mount is as good as you are going to get unless you want to cut your slide. vortex recommends it if you choose this type of mounting. It is super tight fitting. As in almost too tight. You can install this mount with a couple of small blocks of wood, some painters tape, and a heavy hammer. It will go in easy until the last eighth of an inch or so. This is where you have to be brave because your gonna have to smack the hammer pretty hard to get that last bit. Just cover everything with a couple layers of painters tape and replace it with a new layer of it wears away as you drive the mount in. I put tape on the wood blocks as well.

If you don't have a sight pusher, this is difficult to install w/o marring the sight mount or possibly the slide. And even if you do have a sight pusher, the base is pretty wide so your sight pusher would have to able to work with that. The good news is I don't think it's going to work loose.

Mounted this on my Glock 19. Tight fit on the slide and holds the sightmark red dot well. No issues. I highly recommend this.

Very tight and firm fit when installed. Some may find it difficult without the right tools as it is designed as a press fit installation. I imagine a regular sight pusher, even one that is Glock-specific will not work. Installed mine using an industrial grade smooth-jawed vise to hold the slide. Started it into the dovetail with moderate taps with a rubber tipped mallet. When it would go no farther used 12oz hammer on a hardwood block until I had it centered on the slide. No damage to the finish of the mount. I've used EGW mounts on 2 CZ's and a Springfield 1911-A1 all fit perfectly but this Glock mount is exceptional in that you couldn't even see daylight between the slide and the mount on all mating surfaces. Very tight tolerances everywhere. Very pleased with this purchase.

Doesn't fit in a glock, will not fit in a glock sight pusher just in general trash. Gunsmith didn't want to try to get it in because it's too big.
