Walther PDP Full Size 4.5 Optic suggestions please

[SigSauce]

The way I got my optics plate was I noticed that the Walter Website listed a different part number for my requested plate than what was on my back-order invoice from Gravel.

I asked Gravel, and it turns out they have the optics plates in 2 different product numbers, with the only difference between them being one product number is for the "free" plate, and the other product number was a "to be purchased" part.

For a Trijicon plate the part number for the "free plate" is 2867729, where as the part could be purchased separately under part # 5136196.
This might help people who dont mind spending 40$ to be able to mount their optic sooner. (Edit: It looks like now all inventory for trijicon plates are out of stock)

All out of stock unfortunately, otherwise I would have bought one....

Hi can you tell me where to buy the plates?

It looks like Holosun may have plans to release a direct-mount optic for the PDP - no plate needed for a lower mounting profile. (similar to the recently released SCS-MOS models for Glock)

Perfect... by the time I receive my PDP (a year from now or more) they will come out with a direct mount red dot...hurray...

Is it safe to assume the recent two-tone batch is gen 2? Need to confirm gen on the order page since they have different cut outs.

Yes, my recent two-tone gray PDP has the gen 2 plate mounting system.

Awesome, thank you.

Which would be the better option for an optic.

Putting one on a PDP Full size 4.5” or a PDP compact 5”

I put a Viper on my 4.5" PDP. My vision is not the greatest, so I like the bigger dot as it's easy to pick up. However, a drawback to dots if you have any astigmatism is that the dot is not sharp and clear; it takes on a bit of a fuzzy star-burst appearance. Turning down the brightness does help a bit with that, though.

Looks good. Nice without the rear sight.

I’m looking at the Holosun 507C with green ACSS Vulcan reticle
