Minor modification to the sight base may be necessary for some 1911s including Rock Islands, Citadels, and GSG 1911 .22s. Please note, some manufacturers use licensed Novak rear sights. These are cut to the manufacturer's spec and are NOT GENUINE/traditional/true Novak rear sight cuts. One of the most common manufacturers to do this is Taurus. Ruger also uses smaller Novak rear sights on their fixed sight revolvers. Our mount will NOT fit these applications since they are not a traditional/true Novak cut. We do not offer any options for those applications. Please refer to Novak's site and/or call the manufacturer of your firearm to confirm that you have a GENUINE Novak cut, not a licensed Novak cut. Please see our common 1911 dovetail chart if you are not sure which cut you have.

I would only recommend if you have the equipment to file this down. I had two slides with Novak cuts...both with I dustry standard Novak sights already in them I was replacing. One I didn't file and tried to fit in as directed...it is now stuck and I will have to have it MILLED out of my slide. Basically making a $300 slide useless and will probably cost a hundred or so to mill. The other I filed down the mount on a belt sander and was able to fit it in nicely. It's a great adapter HOWEVER do not trust the mill specs. Check the fit and if it looks too tight file it down.

I was nervous about this mount fitting my Springfield 1911. Some internet sources indicate that the rear sight cut on the SA 1911 is smaller than a true Novak. Not true. This is my second mount from EGW. The other was for a S&W Mod. 52. Both drifted into place just like they are supposed to, and the Vortex Venom fit the mount perfectly. My experience with EGW has always been great.

You'll have to do a little grinding for it to slide in ( GSG 1911-22). Great fit for the Burris.

The best dovetail red dot base on the market. It is oversized so it has to be fit. Much better than underszed.
