Description
Want to run a red dot on your Walther PPQ M2 but don't want to send your slide off to get cut? This EGW mount is the easy answer. It replaces your factory rear sight and drops right into the existing dovetail, giving you a secure platform for a Vortex Viper or Venom with no permanent modifications to your pistol. Pop the rear sight out, slide this in, mount your optic, and you're on your way to the range.
EGW machines this one from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum and finishes it with a matte black Type III hardcoat anodizing, so it shrugs off the kind of abuse a carry or range gun sees. It measures 1.811 inches long and .99 inches wide, keeping the optic sitting nice and low over the bore. The dovetail has a progressive taper that makes installation smoother, and if you ever want to go back to irons, the mount comes right back out and your original rear sight goes back in.
What the EGW PPQ M2 Mount Fits
Beyond the PPQ M2, this plate covers a wide spread of Walther pistols including the PPQ Classic (M1), PPQ 45, PPQ Sub Compact, P99, PPX, Creed, and PPS/PPS M2 models that use the standard detent rear sight. It will not work with optics-ready models, the PPQ 22, the Q4 Tac, or the Q5 Match. The footprint is built for the Vortex Viper and Venom (the non-enclosed version), and it also accepts Burris FastFire, Docter, and Crimson Trace CTS-1200 and CTS-1300 optics.
Getting the EGW Sight Mount Installed Right
EGW recommends torquing the mounting screws to 15 inch-pounds with a drip of blue Loctite to keep everything locked in under recoil. A rear sight pusher tool makes removing your factory sight a lot less of a headache. The included screws use a 5/64 inch Allen wrench, and there's a small trick worth knowing: slip a thin piece of paper between the optic and the mount during install to keep Loctite off your sight and make future removal easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to cut my Walther PPQ M2 slide to use this mount?
No, that's the whole point of this mount. It installs into your existing rear sight dovetail after you remove the factory rear sight, so there's no milling or permanent modification to your slide. If you ever want to go back to iron sights, the mount comes right out and your original rear sight goes back in.
Which red dots fit the EGW PPQ M2 mount?
It's built around the Vortex Viper and Venom footprint and also accepts Burris FastFire, Docter, and Crimson Trace CTS-1200 and CTS-1300 optics. Keep in mind this fits the original Vortex Venom/Viper footprint, not the redesigned 2025 versions. Check your optic's mounting pattern before ordering to be sure it matches.
Will this mount fit my optics-ready PPQ or Q5 Match?
No. This mount is made for Walther pistols that use the standard rear sight with the detent, so it will not work on optics-ready models, the PPQ 22, the Q4 Tac, or the Q5 Match. It does cover a lot of ground otherwise, including the PPQ Classic (M1), PPQ 45, P99, PPX, Creed, and PPS/PPS M2 models with standard sights.
What tools do I need to install it?
A rear sight pusher tool is strongly recommended for getting your factory sight out without damaging the slide. The included mounting screws use a 5/64 inch Allen wrench. EGW suggests torquing to 15 inch-pounds with a drop of blue Loctite so nothing works loose under recoil.
