Walther Arms PPQ Q5 Match 5.50" Threaded Barrel - Black (Model 2835231)
WALTHER ARMS
The Shield Sights mount plate for Walther PPQ Q4 and Q5 pistols is a precision adapter that lets you mount modern red dot sights—RMS, RMSc, SMS, and similar optics—directly to your slide. If you're running a PPQ and want the accuracy and speed advantage of a co-witnessed red dot without gunsmithing, this plate bridges the gap between your pistol and reflex optics designed for other mounting systems.
Fit and finish matter on the gun. This plate is engineered to sit flush with RMSc and SMSc sights, giving you a clean, integrated look and reliable performance. It will also accommodate standard RMS, SMS, and SMS2 optics, though those may show slight width overhang beyond the plate edges. The RMSw sight can be mounted but may not seal completely, since the plate is narrower than the RMSw gasket profile—worth knowing if that's your chosen optic.
Installation is straightforward: the plate attaches to the Walther's slide mounting interface, then your red dot slides on top. This modular approach means you can swap optics without losing zero or dealing with multiple mounting solutions. Whether you're building a carry gun, a duty rig, or a competition setup, having the right adapter makes all the difference between a frustrating Frankenstein build and a professional, reliable platform.

Yes. This Shield Sights plate is designed specifically for Walther PPQ Q4 and Q5 slide mounting interface.
The plate is designed for RMSc and SMSc sights with a flush fit. It will also work with RMS, SMS, SMS2, and Jpoint optics, though the standard RMS, SMS, and SMS2 may show slight width overhang. The RMSw can be mounted but may not seal fully because the plate is narrower than the RMSw gasket.
No gunsmithing is necessary. The plate mounts directly to the Walther's existing slide interface, and your red dot then attaches to the plate.
Co-witnessing means your iron sights (if equipped) and red dot sight are both usable from the same sight picture. This plate allows you to mount a red dot while maintaining that versatility.
