629 Competitor And SRO

I believe the 629 Competitor has a proprietary rail on the barrel. You can try the EGW mount but you'd have to take your rear sight off.

I have that model and I have had no problem mounting various scope mounts on it. I have had problems using Trijicon mounts because the groove on the Picatinny rail is supposed to be .206 wide versus .180 for a weaver rail. The Trijicon's locking bar measured .200 inches on my sample. I have my 629 in the safe, but I bet that it is closer to a weaver rail in dimension.

You can use a low riser such as this one:https://smile.amazon.com/Monstrum-Ta...%2C272&sr=8-15

It will allow you to mount the Trijicon on the Weaver slot that is on the 629. Or you can file the locking bar on the Trijicon to make it narrow enough to fit a weaver groove (slot)

On a Pic rail the screws would also be at slot locations.

Agreed. This comp rail is bad *** looking but lame in practically.

Difference seems to be between a Picatinny and Weaver mount. You likely bought a Picatinny mount but needed a Weaver per the below (its basically referring to a rifle but you can see where it relates)?
"The picatinny rail is another time tested design that offers its own benefits and drawbacks as well.
The two major areas where the picatinny rail differs from the weaver style are the number of slots, the slot placement and the slot dimensions. the basic difference between the weaver and picatinny slot dimension is that the picatinny has a slightly wider, and slightly deeper slot. The picatinny rail also has a standardized spacing of the slots, and the slots typically extend down the length of the rail. A weaver style base may have only one or two slots, and the placement of the slot can be anywhere on the base.
A major advantage to a picatinny rail is the amount of surface area the shooter has to mount the rings. With a two piece set, if you cannot get the correct eye relief, you need to use an extension base. With a picatinny rail, you can simply move to a different slot. Another possible advantage is the ability to use a 20MOA base for long range shooting, which is an option Warne offers for all tactical rails. Picatinny rails tend to be thicker than a 2 piece base set due to the ejection port relief cut in the bottom of the base which allows ejecting brass to clear. Since the rail covers the ejection port, it can make loading the firearm from the top difficult. For guns using a detachable magazine, a picatinny rail can be a great addition."

The weaver slots are meant to be used individually. The Trijicon mount looks like it uses the screws as secondary locking source in the Picatinny rail slot. So you will have to use this mount:

or use a low riser to adapt it to a Weaver slot.
