The PT 1911 is Taurus's take on the classic 1911, made in .45 ACP and other calibres. Its rear dovetail is narrower than on the polymer Taurus pistols, at 9.35 mm, and EGW makes mounts to match.
RMR version
Holds RMR pattern optics, whichever brand made them.
Type S version
Holds the smaller dots built on three compact patterns: RMSc, DPP and K-series.
A dot on a 1911
Many 1911 owners add a dot for older eyes or for competition, and a dovetail mount does it without sending the slide off for machining.
Fitting
Drift out the rear sight, slide in the mount, then fit and zero the optic.
Both are on Red dot mounts for Taurus PT 1911.
Frequently asked questions
Do G3 mounts fit?
No, the PT 1911 has a 9.35 mm dovetail.
Will the dot sit high?
Dovetail mounts sit above the slide; a co-witness with the factory front is not guaranteed.
