Running a red dot on a CZ Shadow 2 shouldn't mean sending your slide off for milling. This EGW mount swaps right into the rear sight dovetail and gives you a sturdy, repeatable base for a Docter-footprint optic. It's machined from 7075 aluminum with a matte black hardcoat anodized finish, so it holds up to recoil and range abuse while keeping a low profile that blends right in with the pistol.
The optic compatibility list here is wide. It accepts the Vortex Viper, Vortex Venom (the open-emitter version), Burris FastFire, Docter/Noblex, and several others that share that footprint. Worth noting up front: this mount does not fit the enclosed Vortex Venom micro red dot, the Shadow 2 Optics Ready models, or the Shadow 2 Kadet. It's built specifically for the standard rear-sight-dovetail Shadow 2 and its relatives.
Beyond the standard CZ Shadow 2, this mount drops into the CZ 75 Shadow, CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow, and the Dan Wesson DWX and DWX Compact. The dovetail is cut with a progressive taper, which is a nice touch because it makes seating the mount easier instead of fighting a tight press the whole way through. EGW recommends installing from the left side of the slide to the right with the muzzle pointed forward.
This is a reversible setup, which is one of the best things about going the dovetail route. You pull the factory rear sight, slide the EGW mount in, and if you ever want your irons back, you just swap it out again. The box includes the mounting hardware you need, and the screws call for a 5/64-inch allen wrench. If you're not comfortable working on the slide dovetail yourself, a gunsmith can knock this out quickly.
For competition or defensive use, a red dot speeds up target acquisition and keeps you focused downrange instead of lining up three points. This mount gets you there on a Shadow 2 without any permanent changes to the gun.
No, this mount is made for the standard Shadow 2 that still has a rear-sight dovetail. It does not fit the Shadow 2 Optics Ready, the Shadow 2 Compact Optics Ready, or the Shadow 2 Kadet. If you have an optics-ready gun, you'll want a plate that works with the factory optic cut instead.
It's built for the Docter footprint, so it accepts the Vortex Viper, Vortex Venom open-emitter model, Burris FastFire, and Docter/Noblex sights, among others that share that pattern. Keep in mind it does not fit the enclosed Vortex Venom micro red dot. The included button head screws are for the Vortex optics and the flat head screws are for the FastFire and Docter.
Not at all. The mount simply replaces the factory rear sight in the dovetail, so you can remove it and reinstall your original rear sight whenever you want. The progressive taper on the dovetail makes seating it easier, and the screws take a 5/64-inch allen wrench.
It's machined from 7075 aluminum with a matte black hardcoat anodized finish, which is about as tough as you'll find for a pistol optic mount. That combination handles recoil and range wear while keeping the setup lightweight at under half an ounce.
