Description
Putting a red dot on a Desert Eagle used to mean sending the slide off for machining. This EGW mount skips all that. It replaces the factory rear sight in the dovetail of your pre-2017 Desert Eagle, giving you a solid platform for a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro and a handful of other popular reflex sights. No milling, no drilling the slide, and nothing you can't reverse down the road.
What the EGW Desert Eagle Mount Fits
Beyond the DeltaPoint Pro, this mount is set up to run optics that share a similar footprint, including the JPoint, Redfield Accelerator, and Optima red dots. The important part is getting the right generation of pistol. This one is cut specifically for the pre-2017 Desert Eagle, which has a .187 inch rear shelf behind the dovetail. It will not work on the post-2017 Desert Eagle (that shelf measures .120 inch) or on Baby Desert Eagles made after 2006, so double-check your pistol before ordering.
Built From 7075 Aluminum and Easy to Live With
The mount is machined from 7075 aluminum alloy and finished in a matte black hardcoat, so it holds up to the recoil a big-bore magnum pistol throws at it. It measures about 1.604 inches long, .99 inch wide, and .335 inch tall, keeping the optic sitting low and tucked in over the slide. The dovetail is cut with a progressive taper, which makes drifting it into place from left to right a lot less of a fight.
Installing the EGW DeltaPoint Pro Mount
Setup is straightforward. Pull the factory rear sight, slide the EGW mount into the dovetail, snug the set screw, then mount your optic using the included screws with a dab of blue Loctite. A small piece of paper between the optic and the mount keeps Loctite off the sight and makes future removal cleaner. When you want your irons back, the mount comes off and the original rear sight goes right back in. A gunsmith can knock this out quickly if you'd rather not tackle it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this mount fit a post-2017 Desert Eagle?
No. This mount is cut for the pre-2017 Desert Eagle, which has a .187 inch rear shelf behind the dovetail. The post-2017 pistols have a .120 inch shelf and need a different EGW mount, and it also does not fit Baby Desert Eagles made after 2006. Confirm which generation you own before ordering.
Can I use optics other than the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro?
Yes. This mount shares the DeltaPoint Pro footprint and also accepts the JPoint, Redfield Accelerator, and Optima red dot sights. Any optic built to that same footprint should bolt right up using the included hardware.
Does installing this mount require permanent changes to my Desert Eagle?
No milling or drilling of the slide is needed. The mount simply replaces your factory rear sight in the existing dovetail, so it is fully reversible. You can pull the mount and reinstall your original rear sight whenever you want.
Is the mounting hardware included?
Yes. The package comes with two #6-32 button head screws and one #6-32 x 3/16 inch set screw. EGW recommends a dab of blue Loctite on the optic screws and torquing them to around 15 in/lbs for a secure hold.
