CD's Review of Evolution Gun Works Vortex Viper/Venom Sight Mount
I bought the Docter Sight Mount for S&W M&P #49308. I had to leave it with the gunsmith to install it because it was taking too much time. It was too large to fit in the dovetail sight press so the gunsmith did it the old fashioned way. Vise and hammer. We found the dovetail is slightly too large for the M&P 2.0 frame. It went in about 1/16" and wouldn't budge after that. Ultimately the mount needed to be filed down slightly front and backside to keep it even. Once installed it fits nice and tight. According to the gunsmith, he wasn't familiar with the EGW, but have seen other mounts slide in much easier. Maybe mine was defective by being too large so I recommend you try yours before filing. I shouldn't have to remind you to file the part not the frame, but I just said it anyway. Just be careful not to over file if you do it. I would definitely buy for another gun because I do like the fit and savings compared to sending my slide away for milling. The two piece mounts are only as strong as the two screws holding mount to dovetail. This one piece design seems much stronger. Despite the extra trouble it was, I recommend. Enjoy.
