Red Dot Sights for Walther PDP Optic Plate System
Red Dots for Walther PDP – Optic Plate Compatible Sights
Looking for a red dot sight that works with the Walther PDP optic plate mounting system? You’re in the right place.
The Walther PDP is factory-cut for optics and includes a modular plate system that accommodates a wide variety of red dot footprints. This page showcases red dot sights that are confirmed to be compatible with Walther’s optic plate setup — including Compact, Full Size, F-Series, and PDP 2.0 models.
Whether you're running a defensive pistol, competitive setup, or a weekend plinker, these optics will mount securely using the appropriate Walther PDP adapter plate.
🔧 Understanding the Walther PDP Optic Mounting System
All PDP models ship optic-ready, but the slide cut alone isn’t universal. Instead, Walther uses an interchangeable optic plate system that lets you mount popular red dot sights by matching the plate to your red dot’s footprint.
Most Common Footprints Supported:
- Trijicon RMR / Holosun 407C / 507C / 508T
- Leupold DeltaPoint Pro
- Docter / Vortex Venom / Burris FastFire
- Shield RMS / RMSc (often used on PDP F-Series or subcompacts)
- Aimpoint ACRO (for enclosed emitter optics)
If you're unsure which plate you need, visit Walther’s optic plate request page or reach out to our support team.
