Walther Q5 sights & optics

Here you find the Walther Q5 accessories and upgrades we have for sighting: optic plates and red dot mounts that put a red dot on your Walther Q5 and iron sights. Everything on this page is made for the Walther Q5, so you only need to pick the right group for your pistol.

Putting a red dot on your Walther Q5

The Q5 Match SF OR has a factory optic cut. One plate family fits both the Q4 SF OR and the Q5 Match SF OR: we have plates for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints. See Optics ready plates for Walther Q5 Match SF OR.

The classic Q5 Match SF without an optic cut takes a red dot mount in the rear sight dovetail: Toni System type A and type B for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints. They do not fit the Optics Ready variant. See Red dot mounts for Walther Q5 Match SF.

Which Q5 do I have?

If your slide has a factory optic cut closed by a cover plate, it is the Q5 Match SF OR and takes a plate. Without the cut it is the classic Q5 Match SF and takes a mount.

Choosing a plate or mount by footprint

Every plate and mount takes one footprint or a group of footprints. Find the footprint of your red dot in its specifications and take the plate or mount that names it. The type letters (type A, type S…) differ between makers, so always read the footprints in the brackets.

Sights for the Walther Q5

For the Q5 Match SF OR we have LPA adjustable sights, see Sights for Walther Q5 Match SF [OR]. For the classic Q5 Match SF without an optic cut there is an LPA adjustable rear sight, see Sights for Walther Q5 Match SF [classic].
