🙋 FAQ – Walther PDP Red Dot Setup
Q: Is my Walther PDP ready for a red dot sight out of the box?
A: Yes — all Walther PDP models come optic-ready with a removable slide plate. However, you’ll need a matching adapter plate or a direct-mount optic that fits your PDP’s footprint.
Q: Which red dots fit the PDP without an adapter plate?
A: Optics like the Holosun SCS PDP are specifically designed to mount directly to the PDP’s slide without any extra plates.
Q: Do I need to modify my slide to install a red dot?
A: No. As long as your PDP is the optic-ready model, installation is straightforward and requires no permanent modifications.
Q: What's the best red dot sight for the Walther PDP?
A: That depends on your use case. For duty or defensive use, we recommend the Trijicon RMR or Holosun 507C. For range and budget setups, consider the FastFire 4 or Bushnell RXU.
Q: Can I co-witness iron sights with a red dot on the PDP?
A: In most cases, no — the factory sights are not tall enough. If co-witness is important, look for suppressor-height sights or optics designed for lower deck height like the Holosun SCS.
