PDP Optics

I’m planning on picking up a Walther PDP for home defense and the range. Does anyone know of a direct mount optic that doesn’t require an adapter plate? Holosun makes one for the PDP 2 (direct mount) but I’m not really clear on the distinction in models.

Post 1,
Holosun makes an "SCS" model especially for a 2.0 Walther PDP.
I don't know/understand the details as to why a 1st generation PDP won't work, but there were changes to Walther's PDP slide machining between the 1st gen and its 2.0 version.

The way the slide is cut for the optics plate for the PDP differs by generation.

Holosun only made the SCS for the newer version (afaik). I have had 3 PDPs, two with the new cut, one with the old. If you do decide you like something that isn’t direct mount, I wouldn’t worry about it. Even the Gen 1 PDP optic cut was solid.
