Looking to hear from someone that has mounted a reflex sight with a weaver mount on a HW75. I bought a Hawke micro reflex sight and a eaglevision 13mm to picatinny adapter thinking I was all set. Nope I can get the adapter on the dovetail but the adapter is too wide for the sight to slide on. If I put the adapter in the sight the dovetail on the adapter is too narrow to dovetail on the pistol. I have no idea how to get this sight mounted on the pistol.

Same problem with my Hw45. I think there was a solution but I didn't pay attention because I just found out I have an astigmatism and red dots don't work great for me. If I remember what I seen that supposedly works I'll let you know.
For now I continue to shoot my pistol poorly 😒

Well I did some measuring and the description of the adapter is very misleading. When you put the adapter on the rail the picatinny side is about 22.5mm wide. A typical picatinny rail is about 20mm wide. The reflex sight with the weaver mount built in is only wide enough to fit on a 20mm rail. So the only thing truly picatinny about it is the slot not the width. You can get the proper Adapter easily for a 11mm dovetail.

Itn't that what you crank on when cocking?
How many have had their finger pinched?
