How to Mount an EOTech 1911

Eotech produces holographic sights for a variety of weapons, including the government model 1911 pistol. All Eotech sights attach to weapons using a Weaver rail-mount system. To mount the sight to a model 1911 pistol, you must install a Weaver rail-mount that sits over the top of the pistol's slide. This kind of mount requires that the lower receiver be drilled and tapped by a competent gunsmith. Before installing your Eotech sight, make absolutely sure that your pistol is unloaded.

Things You'll Need

  • 1911 pistol with upper weaver style mount
  • Eotech sight
  • 7/64-inch Allen wrench (included with sight)

Instructions

    • 1

      Loosen the mounting retention screws with a 7/64-inch Allen wrench. The screws are located along the sight's bottom on the right-hand side. Do not remove the screws.

    • 2

      Position your sight on the rail mount. The retention screws must be within the slots that are cut diagonally across the mount.

    • 3

      Slightly push the mount forward, so the retention screws are up against the front surface of the slots,. Securely tighten the retention screws.
