Red dot adapters for Walther models

This collection brings together every red dot adapter we have for Walther models: optics ready plates for Walther models with a factory optic cut, and red dot mounts for Walther models without one. Pick your model above and you see only the plates or mounts that fit it.

Plate or mount: which one does your Walther model take

• Optics Ready Walther models have a factory optic cut in the slide, closed with a cover plate. They take an optics ready plate. The plate goes into the cut and connects it to the footprint of your red dot.
• Walther models without an optic cut take a red dot mount. The mount replaces the rear sight in its dovetail. You need no slide milling and no permanent modifications.

A mount does not fit an Optics Ready model, and a plate does not fit a model without the cut. Choose your exact model, including the Optics Ready (OR) or MOS part of its name.

Optics Ready Walther models

We have optic plates for Walther pistols with a factory optic cut. Plates are available for the PDP and for the Q4 SF OR and Q5 Match SF. You also find red dots that fit the PDP 2.0 directly.

Walther PDP: 1.0 or 2.0

The PDP exists in two generations with different optic cuts. A plate for one generation does not fit the other:

• PDP 1.0: produced until 2022. Plates for the Full Size, Compact and Pro models. See Optics ready plates for Walther PDP 1.0.
• PDP 2.0: produced from 2022. Plates for the Full Size, Compact, Pro, F-Series and Steel Frame models. See Optics ready plates for Walther PDP Full Size 2.0.

To find your generation, remove the Optics Ready cover and look at the surface under it. Each product page shows a photo for comparison. The production year is a second clue.

Footprints for the PDP

• PDP 2.0: the largest choice. Plates exist for Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter, C-More RTS, Aimpoint Acro and Holosun 509T.
• PDP 1.0: plates for Trijicon RMR, Docter, Aimpoint Acro and Holosun 509T.

Walther makes factory plates from steel in Germany. 2BME in Poland machines plates from aircraft aluminium. Eemann Tech and Shield Sights make steel plates.

Step by step

1. Check if your PDP is a 1.0 or a 2.0. Use the photo on the product page and the production year.
2. Find the footprint of your red dot.
3. Choose a plate for your generation that names this footprint.

The PDP series does not matter for the plate. Within one generation, the same plate fits the Full Size, Compact, Pro, F-Series and Steel Frame. See Optics ready plates for Walther PDP Compact 2.0, Optics ready plates for Walther PDP F-Series, Optics ready plates for Walther PDP Pro and Optics ready plates for Walther PDP Steel Frame.

Factory plate or aftermarket plate

The factory Walther plates are made of steel. The 2BME plates are machined from aircraft aluminium and are lighter. Both fit the factory optic cut in the same way. Aftermarket plates widen the choice of footprints, for example for the Holosun K-series on the PDP 2.0.

Q4 SF OR and Q5 Match SF

One plate family fits both pistols. Plates exist for the Trijicon RMR, Leupold DPP and Docter footprints. Toni System adds a type A for Shield RMSc, DPP and Docter and a type E for C-More RTS. See Optics ready plates for Walther Q5 Match SF and Optics ready plates for Walther Q4 SF OR.

Direct-fit red dots for the PDP 2.0

The Holosun SCS PDP and the Vector Optics Frenzy FA 1x16x24 fit the PDP 2.0 optic cut without a plate. They do not fit the PDP 1.0.

All optic plates at a glance

The table lists every product in this page. The middle column gives the footprints, so you can check at once which red dots it takes.

Installation

Remove the factory cover plate from the optic cut. Screw the optic plate into its place, then screw the red dot onto the plate. No milling is needed and you can do it yourself. Threadlocker on the screws is recommended.

Walther models without an optic cut

We have red dot mounts for Walther pistols without an optic cut. The mount replaces the rear sight, with no permanent modifications.

Which mount fits which Walther

• PPQ and PPQ M2 (9x19), P99, Creed, PPX and PPS M2: one mount family. EGW makes it for the Trijicon RMR and as type S. Outer Impact type C fits the PPQ, P99, Creed and PPS. See Red dot mounts for Walther PPQ and Red dot mounts for Walther P99.
• PPQ 22 LR and PPQ M2 22 LR: separate EGW mounts for the rimfire versions. See Red dot mounts for Walther PPQ 22 LR.
• Q5 Match SF: Toni System type A and B. They do not fit the Optics Ready variants. See Red dot mounts for Walther Q5 Match SF.

EGW type S fits Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP and Holosun K-series. Outer Impact type C fits Trijicon RMR, C-More RTS and Docter.

Installation

Drift the rear sight out of the dovetail with a sight pusher or a punch. Push the mount into the same dovetail and fix it. Then screw the red dot onto the mount. No slide milling or permanent modifications are needed. See Installation tools.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install an optic plate on my Walther at home?

Yes. No milling is needed, and you can do it yourself.

1. Remove the cover plate from the optic cut.
2. Screw the optic plate into the cut.
3. Screw the red dot onto the plate.

Put a drop of threadlocker on every screw.

Which red dots will fit my Walther?

It depends on the plate you choose. Every plate takes one footprint or a group of footprints. For Walther pistols we have plates for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter, C-More RTS, Aimpoint Acro and Holosun 509T footprints.

Choose your red dot first and find its footprint in the specifications. Then take the plate with the same footprint.

Is my PDP a 1.0 or a 2.0?

PDP pistols made until 2022 are 1.0, those made from 2022 are 2.0. To be sure, remove the optic cover and compare the cut with the photo of the plate.

Is a PDP Compact plate different from a Full Size plate?

No. Within one generation, the same plate fits all PDP series: Compact, Full Size, Pro, F-Series and Steel Frame.

Can I put a red dot on my Walther without an optic cut?

Yes. The mount goes into the rear sight dovetail in place of the rear sight. No milling and no permanent changes, so you can put the rear sight back at any time.

Can I install the mount at home?

Yes, if you have a sight pusher or a punch.

1. Drift the rear sight out of the dovetail.
2. Push the mount into the dovetail and tighten it.
3. Screw the red dot onto the mount with a drop of threadlocker on each screw.

You find the tools in Installation tools.

Does the PPQ mount fit my PPQ 22 LR?

No. The 22 LR versions have their own mounts.
