Same slide cutThe Walther PDP Full Size (1.0), Walther PDP Compact (1.0), Walther PDP F-Series, Walther PDP Pro SD, Walther PDP Pro and Walther PDP Steel Frame share this slide's optic cut
(Walther PDP 1.0 optic cut), so the optics, plates and screws below are the same for
all of them. What differs between the models is under "On this model", where there is anything.
How this slide mounts an opticWalther sells its own plates for this cut (its "Gen1" plates, for the flat-bottomed cut), and C&H makes more. PDP 1.0 and PDP 2.0 plates are not interchangeable, so confirm which slide you have before ordering. Source: Walther Arms, PDP Gen1 Optic Plate, RMR (Generation 1 Optic Cut, flat bottom) ↗; Walther Arms, PDP Gen2 Optic Plate, Doctor (Generation 2 Optic Cut, lug bottom) ↗.
On this modelWalther's F-Series manual describes mount bases set with their recoil lugs facing down, like the 2.0 cut, and Walther's Gen 2 plate pages name the F-Series. Confirm whether your slide is the flat-bottom 1.0 cut or the lug-bottom 2.0 cut before ordering (review queue RQ-053).
