Checked out a Walther PDP compact the other day. I've never felt the gun like that in my life!! Unbelievable!! Gotta have! Plus it's freaking beautiful!
The PDP doesn’t feel like your shooting a 40 cal 😂 C’mon…it’s not even close. I learned to shoot pistols with a 40 cal, even those aren’t bad with the right grip and body mechanics.
I love my Canik Elite Combat. It’s in my appendix holster on me every day. I sure would love to also have a Walther PDP. But another good one in the Canik line is the Mete SFX Pro. All 3 great guns!
I have the Walther PDP and put thousands and thousands of rounds through it so far and I love it. Trust my life with it and it’s fun to shoot even though it’s a little snappy. The grip texture and stippling is by far the best out of the box. Even if my hands are sweaty I really don’t have to adjust my grip.
@@HuntFishShootChannelyeah I have been trying to move away from using comps. My range I go to film and shoot at has a roof and even with styrofoam a day of shooting a comp’d pistol will rattle my skull enough that I moved away from them. I sold my dr920p and just bought the dr920l for that reason
There are aftermarket options for the Canik that allow you to put a plate under the optic that has rear irons attached that you can co-witness with the optic. That being said, the fact that an optic deletes the factory sight seems like a massive oversight.
First and foremost… great review on both firearms. I lost my shit when I seen these two side by side. The TP9 Elite Combat was of my very first purchase after acquiring my firearms ID. I remember watching your review on it back then (that was also a great video). The TP9 EC quickly became and remained my favorite out of my collection. However, I did recently purchase the PDP pro compact. I gotta say after swapping out the guide rod and mounting the Steiner MPS, I can’t put the damn thing down… it’s incredible. Both are a fantastic pieces and I’ll recommend both with great confidence. I will say the PDP Pro compact feels absolutely amazing in hand and that trigger is the best factory trigger on the market at the moment. Once again thank you for the review.
Thank you! Much appreciated! Thanks for being around for so long and you are lucky this PDP in the video didn’t have a MPS on it! I almost bought one but had the 508t lying around.
@@HuntFishShootChannel Absolutely! The battery life leaves a little more to be desired. Aside from that, it’s awesome. Pretty much everything I own has a Holosun on it, so I when I picked up the PDP I felt it needed something a little different.
Which guide rod did you use? I tried the sprinco system and I'm not a big fan. The yellow spring had super weak lockup and the red spring was a lot better but still had occasional malfunctions with ammo that was too hot or too weak...
Personally I think the Walther PDP is the best "Duty" pistol on the market. It has multiple barrel lengths, (2) frame lengths/capacity, a better out of the box trigger AND a lifetime warranty. Yes it's better than a GLOCK! 🤠
@@HuntFishShootChannel for me I the walther is cleary the winner, I shoot it very well and never had any malfunction but however my grip in this pistol make me put my thumb EVERY TIME in the slide release button so the slide never lock back when the magazine is empty.. and for this reason I have to go with canik. I have seen that I am not the only one who have this problem with pdp's ( I tried full size / compact frames) I am sad because as I said I shoot very well with it, a little bit better than the canik
I have had that problem in the past. Some of that is due to over pressure with the firing hand and if you can’t that thumb out ever so slightly it will stop. Give it a shot!
@@HuntFishShootChannel thanks for the advice! Too many years to shoot with my glock and now it's hard to change my way to aim with a hangun. I'll try to change that
I prefer the Glock grip angle and personally Shadow Systems are my favorite to shoot. I don’t have any issue shooting the PDP well, it’s a very natural pointing pistol!
I used to want the elite combat so bad but never got around to buying one, i did buy a pdp pro recently and my goodness 🥵. The grip, the slide, the optic mounting system, and the mag size are all better. The walther is newer so that will give it some edge but i feel like i would have sold the canik eventually, i cant see myself selling my pdp
I agree. That Walther feels very nice in the grip. Plastic sights suck, but so does the elite combat magwell, it just dont interface well enough on the grip module
PDP Pro is just a cut above the competition. Canik is nice, but it just doesn't feel quite as nice in hand. Honestly, the only pistol that feels as good in hand as the PDP is an H&K VP9, imho.
I'm a HUGE Walther guy...I carry a PPS M2 ...my side arm (when I carry owb) is PPQ... I bought a PDP but thinking about trading it in and getting the PDP PRO SD compact to carry
I have both of these. The Walther feels better in hand to me, but overall,I actually prefer the Canik. And just to throw this out there…I put an optic on my Canik and shot it the same day I bought it. My PDP took a MONTH to receive a plate shipped from Walther. So I didn’t get to shoot my new gun with the optic installed for a month after purchase. You have to register with Walther and then wait for your registration email to be processed, then the order gets processed, then they finally ship it. It was terribly annoying. Canik provides the entire plate system with every pistol. In fact, I was so put out with Walther that it stained my perception of the pistol, and now I get mad when I look at it. Lol. I’m sure I’ll get over it. Not having a plates included (at least for rmr/docter) is silly. At least stock your dealers with plates so you can get one at purchase. Of course you could also buy aftermarket if you don’t mind spending the extra $75-$125 dollars. That’s all. Both fantastic pistols, couldn’t go wrong with either. Canik is a better value for what you get and they take care of the customer by including more with the pistol (mounting plates!). The trigger is also, to me, noticeably better. The Walther is a nicer shooting experience because of the ergos… the grip and slide serrations are so good.
Walther didn't copy caniks trigger tho .. you like canik because of walther .. without caniks stolen trigger it would be down there with glock,taurus in my opinion. And canik is a turkish gun and the turkish govt supports terrorists.. that put me off..I wont support them further .
Another great review. I ended up selling my canik elite combat because of the fact you lose your rear irons when you throw the dot on there. Personally I have to have backup irons on any gun that's not going to solely be used for punching paper or steel.
There is a guy named Patnik Soultions and he makes a plate for the Elite combat that has built in tritium rear sights into the plate itself so you don't lose your rear sights.
Excellent video. As I think about my next fire arm the Walther is leaking my interest more and more. Now your video has me leaning towards the pdp pro sd.
I like that Walther pdp that's one Squared away pistol if you got the regular pdp could you upgrade the trigger to that better Walther trigger if you wanted just wondering
Awesome video, SUBSCRIBED! Is the Walther PDP Pro SD hard to find? Seems like every online gun store I go to, or even call, they either don't have it or a person acts shocked that I'm inquiring about it. I'd really like to try the Walther out.
Another great review. How about a comparison with these two guns against the SS MR920 elite with the threaded barrel (or DR920 elite)? MR920 not as good trigger but I'm guessing it stays flattest among the 3? Walther grip/ergos may be the best of the 3 for people with medium hands, and I've heard if you swap out the recoil spring from 18lb to 15lb, it makes the PDP pro SD much less snappy. Curious what you think.
Thanks for the video, I really appreciate it. Can you tell me what hearing protection you are using I have been using the foam roll ups and push in. Thanks
Axil GS Extreme 2.0! There is a link in the description which will save you a couple bucks and helps the channel a bit. I have bought my second pair to have and love them. I really can’t recommend them enough
Dont own pdp but wanted to get one soon...anyway, i love my elite combat, there are companies our there making aftermarket plate with integrated rear sight so you can co-witness.. the front sight fits m&p suppressor sight...
The TTI Combat is superior to the TP9 Combat. TTI Combat vs. PDP Pro SD is the comparison I’d love to see. Great video! So far the PDP Pro SD with a Zephyr recoil spring is unbeatable.
I can’t put a link in here for those items or TH-cam will lose their minds but here’s what I’m wearing: HRT Tactical LBAC Carrier HRT Tactical Maximus Placard HRT Tactical Hydromax rear placard
Thank you very much, very nice video..Actually I would like to see comparison between Walther DPD Pro SD and Canik Mete Sft Pro.. They are both full size pistols. Elite Combat is more compact size..
These two pistols used are identical in size and dimensions. The PDP pro Comes in three different sizes. We are leaving looking into trying out the sft pro!
Own the canik. The Walther is probably what I would have bought had it existed at the time.. I don't know why canik would delete the rear sights. Forces you to use a red dot with integral rears, or get a custom plate with rears.
Something seems off with the prices because the Canik is over 70% cheaper than the Walther. Therefore, the price favors the Canik, especially since there are no significant differences between the two designs.
Thank you for repping Ohio! I live in North Eastern Ohio. I really need a outdoor range. If anyone has suggestions could you let me know some good ones
Northeasterners here! This is a private range on a farm. Not many good ones, in northeast OhIo you have AA shooting in Garrettsville, Southington and DSS in alliance/portage county.
@@gilgonzales6057 Not one that is open consistently. The metro park range is closed until 2025 so for now it's only C4 if it's ever open and indoor ranges.
I was having trouble until this month I guess Walter must have shipped a bunch. Know at least 2 others that bought there’s in the past month also. I did have to go online though.
My only complaint about the combat is the height of the plate compared to other pistols. The combat has the best out of the box trigger I've felt so far. I really wanna add a ppq m1 to my collection
The magazine release is another good point. I hate enlarged mag releases on any other gun but for some reason I never accidentally drop a mag with my support hand. But it’s still really easy to use when you mean to
I have the PDP Pro SD Compact...whats super annoying is that it's nearly impossible to get certain Walther parts for it. Especially basic stuff like more factory mags, the extended magazine release (oval), or the Tungsten Guide Rod. Since I got it almost 6 months ago, I have never seen any of them actually for sale on their site.
It is very annoying, fortunately as the PDP Pro SD comes, you don’t need anything. More mags would be nice and ever since the PDP came out they have been hard to come by!
Very nice video. Since you have both guns at hand, could you please check, whether the barrels interchange? Someone said they do, so would be nice to have a conclusive answer.
I have heard this quite a few times but I don’t understand why someone would do it. What I will say is there are some differences between the two barrels and how they are shaped.
Well, the reason is mainly that canik barrels have traditional grooves, but walther barrels are polygonal. People who shoot cast bullets usually prefer traditional rifling, and if the barrels were interchangeable, it would translate to cheap and readily available replacement barrels for the PDP.
@@HuntFishShootChannel I just collect guns and dont have a conceal license yet. I got a used Q4 SF for $800 but have the option to return it for the new PDP pro.
@@HuntFishShootChannel I recently I just got a CZ P10C and just saw the Beretta APX A1 Tactical go on sale. What's your opinion on that handgun compared to the PDP? I have a bit of lean towards the PDP since I used to own a M&P 2.0 and loved the way that shot and felt in my hands. The PDP feels sort like a 2.0 in hands with aggressive grip
@Spartan117A51 the PDP is better than those or I like it better. The P10C is a great option as well tho! Don’t sleep on them. The APX is ok, it’s not PDP level tho.
Just take into consideration if your a lefty and wanna switch that magazine release on the canik its one of the most frustrating things you will ever do.
I have a PPQ and I trust it enough to shit properly and reliably that I used it for duty carry for years. From what I understand the PDP is a PPQ but better in every way. That's my answer.
Awesome video - very informative. I'm just getting into guns and was looking at picking up something for home defense. I've been comparing these two exact pistols for the last few days, so your video couldn't have come at a better time. I was leaning towards the Canik because I'd heard a few people comment that the Walther was a little snappy - but you seem to think that the guns shoot very similarly. As someone that's just starting to shoot, a snappy gun had me concerned - thinking that it might be uncomfortable to shoot for a beginner. All things being equal, I'd prefer to get the Walther - but would take the Canik if it does indeed have less recoil. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
Right the Canik isn’t any less recoiling and in fact the better grip textures of the Walther and better grip design helps the Walther or shooter in managing recoil.
@@HuntFishShootChannel Never shot either. Just surprised to hear you say the recoil is the same. It looked like the PDP jumped in your hands more than the canik. Thanks for the good review.
I wish I could show you some slow motion footage of the recoil, maybe we can chop some up into short and you will see they are the same or negligibly different. The Walther feels better under recoil due tot he grip textures I feel and picking up the dot under recoil is easier for the Walther in my opinion. You need to remember some of that is subjective to the individual shooter too.
The Canik Elite Combat is not as new as the PDP Pro. A more accurate comparison would be the Canik Mete SFT Pro. I was looking at both after shooting a friend's PDP Pro and trying out the Canik at my local range. I went with the Canik. It was cheaper than the PDP Pro and came with the Mecanik Red dot and additional plates for less than the PDP. Plus, I can use the mags from my other Caniks.
I've got the 4.5" PDP Pro, and threw a Herrington comp and LOK brass backstrap on it, the combo of more weight and the comp completely tamed the little bit of extra snap the PDP has. I also own a 2018 TP9 SFx, and what's fun is swapping slides between the TP9 and the PDP...so, if you have a TP9 frame but want a more modern optics mounting system, and the ability to use Glock sights, and the world's best slide serrations, you could just pick up a PDP slide. :)
Buds Gun Shop has a fantastic layaway my friend! I’ve gotten numerous firearms this way. They have a great selection and they have my PDP Pro SD Compact just waiting for me 😊
After holding both, the base thumb knuckle of my hand interferes with the pdp grip. Had to go canik. Oh and the slides are interchangeable on the canik
I see that regular PDP magazines do not fit the PRO SD (unless you remove the flared mag well)... but do the PRO SD version of the mags fit into regular PDPs? (assuming both full size 18 round versions)
So my PDP striker broke after 6000+rds specifically the tip...walthers customer service is very shitty, its been going on 2 weeks now they ask you to send your information and you get a email back not even a shipping label just a product information sheet and proof of receipt I actually had to pay for shipping the broke part. I've had caniks striker break on me before and their customer service is way better. Canik asked for a picture and serial number and address and they sent a replacement no questions asked
See that’s just unacceptable in my opinion. Having owned a number of Beretta, Benelli and Franchi and Stoeger shotguns my whole life, their customer service isn’t like that at all. It’s simple, House the service department and spare parts in the US for better CS
I like the trigger better for Canik and really everything about it. Resell for the walther will be better if you trade guns out but if you keep them I think Canik elite combat is by far the best $ can buy
We answer hundreds of questions and try to get all of them. One or two may slip through the cracks. The holster is a Blackhawk Omnivore for the Streamlight TLR1 HL. Also, your question was answered several times in the comment section before as well, if that helps!
@@HuntFishShootChannel no thanks to your pdp sd pro video. i did some more research on the gun. And I just bought a compact pdp sd pro today. Worth every penny of its cost over the regular pdp. I appreciate walther being reasonably priced. …if this was a sig it would be $1k easy. Anyways love the gun.

Thats a great choice!
Excellent video. As I think about my next fire arm the Walther is leaking my interest more and more. Now your video has me leaning towards the pdp pro sd.
If you can find Pro Sd model, get it instead. If not the PDP is a great pistol in general, as are the Canik pistols.

Really tough because they are both great!
I love the design on the walther pdp pro
It’s fantastic!
the walther PDP is rare because lots of police agencies are switching to the PDP and not the Canik. I personally prefer the SFX Rival over the PDP.
That’s not why it’s rare but many agencies have started adopting the PDP.
I prefer the Walther, but Canik has nailed the peanut butter look. Their aesthetics are dead on.

The Elite Combat hands down!!!
Great choice!
The loss of the rear sight on the canik has always been my issue with that pistol. They fixed it on the mete series. But I still love canik.
They did indeed and yep! Still great guns
There's a pretty cool Plate that you can get for the Canik TP9 Elite Combat that has a Rear Sight.
Good to know!
Dont own pdp but wanted to get one soon...anyway, i love my elite combat, there are companies our there making aftermarket plate with integrated rear sight so you can co-witness.. the front sight fits m&p suppressor sight...
Thanks for the input!
Canik SF elite combat! I own 4 caniks, and love them! Debating on the Canik Steel or M&P Metal
Canik steel gets our vote
Canik best gun
The TTI Combat is superior to the TP9 Combat. TTI Combat vs. PDP Pro SD is the comparison I’d love to see. Great video!
So far the PDP Pro SD with a Zephyr recoil spring is unbeatable.
The PDP Pro is easily one of the best pistols you can buy for a striker fired gun.
@@HuntFishShootChannelI retired my S&W, Glock, and Sigs after the PDP Pro SD. Not even close…
What optical mounting plate you use on Canik? Thanks you.
Thanks for the great review. Can you provide a link to the plate carrier you are wearing along with the attachments. Thanks in advance!
I can’t put a link in here for those items or TH-cam will lose their minds but here’s what I’m wearing:
HRT Tactical LBAC Carrier
HRT Tactical Maximus Placard
HRT Tactical Hydromax rear placard
@@HuntFishShootChannel THANK YOU!!!
You are welcome!
Thank you very much, very nice video..Actually I would like to see comparison between Walther DPD Pro SD and Canik Mete Sft Pro.. They are both full size pistols. Elite Combat is more compact size..
These two pistols used are identical in size and dimensions. The PDP pro Comes in three different sizes. We are leaving looking into trying out the sft pro!
Thanks for extra information.. I didnt know that PDP pro has 3 different sizes.. @@HuntFishShootChannel
Try Springfield armory Echelon. I have 2 Walther pdp and 2 Canik Mete and Rival but Echelon is like a dream gun.
We have the echelon chronologically this video came out well before that!
Own the canik. The Walther is probably what I would have bought had it existed at the time.. I don't know why canik would delete the rear sights. Forces you to use a red dot with integral rears, or get a custom plate with rears.
It’s likely why some of their newest variants don’t do that and are specific to an RMs or RMRCC cut
Patnik solutions makes plates with rear tritium built in
Something seems off with the prices because the Canik is over 70% cheaper than the Walther. Therefore, the price favors the Canik, especially since there are no significant differences between the two designs.
Same design only they cut corners to make it more affordable.. you get what you pay for .
Caniks is a turkish gun and they support terrorists
Thank you for repping Ohio!
I live in North Eastern Ohio. I really need a outdoor range. If anyone has suggestions could you let me know some good ones
Northeasterners here! This is a private range on a farm. Not many good ones, in northeast OhIo you have AA shooting in Garrettsville, Southington and DSS in alliance/portage county.
@@HuntFishShootChannel Thanks Brother. With the weather warming up I guess it'd be good to get a nice drive in anyways
I’m in Akron. Did you find a range?
@@gilgonzales6057 Not one that is open consistently. The metro park range is closed until 2025 so for now it's only C4 if it's ever open and indoor ranges.
Now we need comparison between the PDP PRO SD and the Springfield Echelon!
The review has been filmed! In the editing process now!
I wish my VP9 was upgraded with the Walther texture.
Oooooh that would be nice!
I was having trouble until this month I guess Walter must have shipped a bunch. Know at least 2 others that bought there’s in the past month also. I did have to go online though.
They are online if you do some searching!
My only complaint about the combat is the height of the plate compared to other pistols.
The combat has the best out of the box trigger I've felt so far.
I really wanna add a ppq m1 to my collection
Great pistol for sure!
Canik nailed those triggers, before shooting my friends Rival the best striker fired trigger is I have shot is in my P-10s
They sure did!
The magazine release is another good point. I hate enlarged mag releases on any other gun but for some reason I never accidentally drop a mag with my support hand. But it’s still really easy to use when you mean to
For sure!
Canik trigger is another level 🔥🔥 i got one
It is very good!
I have the PDP Pro SD Compact...whats super annoying is that it's nearly impossible to get certain Walther parts for it. Especially basic stuff like more factory mags, the extended magazine release (oval), or the Tungsten Guide Rod. Since I got it almost 6 months ago, I have never seen any of them actually for sale on their site.
It is very annoying, fortunately as the PDP Pro SD comes, you don’t need anything. More mags would be nice and ever since the PDP came out they have been hard to come by!
Very nice video. Since you have both guns at hand, could you please check, whether the barrels interchange? Someone said they do, so would be nice to have a conclusive answer.
I have heard this quite a few times but I don’t understand why someone would do it. What I will say is there are some differences between the two barrels and how they are shaped.
Well, the reason is mainly that canik barrels have traditional grooves, but walther barrels are polygonal. People who shoot cast bullets usually prefer traditional rifling, and if the barrels were interchangeable, it would translate to cheap and readily available replacement barrels for the PDP.
I understand that aspect of it but can’t tell you exactly and if they function reliably with a barrel change.
IF YOU HAD TO PICK ONE BETWEEM THE WALTHER Q4 SF OR THE WALTHER PDP PRO AND THEY WERE BOTH THE EXACT Sme price, which would you pick.
Depends on the use. I’m not generally someone who considers costs as a deciding factor unless two guns are similar in features.
@@HuntFishShootChannel I just collect guns and dont have a conceal license yet. I got a used Q4 SF for $800 but have the option to return it for the new PDP pro.
I also have a Walther Q5 SF, DS Prodigy 4.25, Sig P229 Legion, Sig P226 Equinox and a Beretta 80X Cheetah. I dont own any polymer as of yet
@sunnantariq723 that’s a great deal you should keep it!
I shot the a canik and didn't like the way it felt in my hand. I kinda want to try a Walther. Held one at Cabela's and that thing felt just right
Definitely one of the advantages of the Walther over the Canik!
@@HuntFishShootChannel I recently I just got a CZ P10C and just saw the Beretta APX A1 Tactical go on sale. What's your opinion on that handgun compared to the PDP? I have a bit of lean towards the PDP since I used to own a M&P 2.0 and loved the way that shot and felt in my hands. The PDP feels sort like a 2.0 in hands with aggressive grip
@Spartan117A51 the PDP is better than those or I like it better. The P10C is a great option as well tho! Don’t sleep on them. The APX is ok, it’s not PDP level tho.
Great video brother! Definitely need to get my hands on that psa sabre. Can you do a fire on the best duty pistols? That would be fire
I’m in! We’ll put the idea on the list of to dos!
That is a nice looking unicorn I must say 😂👍
She’s a beautiful one
🤣👍
Just take into consideration if your a lefty and wanna switch that magazine release on the canik its one of the most frustrating things you will ever do.
Good to know!
I recommend comparing the Walther to the Canik SFT Pro.
The SFT Pro is a 5 in barrel gun, we would need to get a different variant of PDP Pro SD then since this was a compact.
@@HuntFishShootChannel Good point! In any case, that was a great comparison video!
Thank you!
@@HuntFishShootChannelyes would like to see SFT Pro vs Walther PDP Pro SD!!
I’ve been eyeing the 2!! Hesitate on the pdp due to polymer recoil spring
@@HuntFishShootChanneldon’t they have a pdp full size?
Just saw the Pro for 6 hundred. What a deal! Wish I had gotten mine for that much!😂
That would be a great deal!
@@HuntFishShootChannel gunprime
Elite combat for me and it has a better trigger.
You do you!
Would love to get my hands on a PDP pro SD but they are not imported to Australia. :(. Very disappointing,.
That would be disappointing!
Got rid of my g19 for the PDP PRO 🤷🏽♂️
Good idea!
Off the wall question but do you prefer the new tti over the pdp pro with comp? Thanks
No i do not. The PDP with a comp is flatter or softer shooter, plus I just like Walther PDPs more than Canik pistols.
I have a PPQ and I trust it enough to shit properly and reliably that I used it for duty carry for years.
From what I understand the PDP is a PPQ but better in every way. That's my answer.
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video - very informative. I'm just getting into guns and was looking at picking up something for home defense. I've been comparing these two exact pistols for the last few days, so your video couldn't have come at a better time. I was leaning towards the Canik because I'd heard a few people comment that the Walther was a little snappy - but you seem to think that the guns shoot very similarly. As someone that's just starting to shoot, a snappy gun had me concerned - thinking that it might be uncomfortable to shoot for a beginner. All things being equal, I'd prefer to get the Walther - but would take the Canik if it does indeed have less recoil. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Right the Canik isn’t any less recoiling and in fact the better grip textures of the Walther and better grip design helps the Walther or shooter in managing recoil.
@@HuntFishShootChannel Never shot either. Just surprised to hear you say the recoil is the same. It looked like the PDP jumped in your hands more than the canik. Thanks for the good review.
I wish I could show you some slow motion footage of the recoil, maybe we can chop some up into short and you will see they are the same or negligibly different. The Walther feels better under recoil due tot he grip textures I feel and picking up the dot under recoil is easier for the Walther in my opinion. You need to remember some of that is subjective to the individual shooter too.
I only prefer the Canik on days that end in y.
Hmmmm…. That’s all of them 🤣🤣
I am pretty sure you can swap the slides and they will run. Canik is fantastic value but I'd pick walther.
No idea on that concept but it’s possible I suppose
@@HuntFishShootChannel TP9 is basically a PPQ clone. And PDP is an upgrade of PPQ, all 3 should be compatible with each other
Again can’t speak on that. The Canik and Walther mags between these two guns during the review were not compatible.
The Canik Elite Combat is not as new as the PDP Pro. A more accurate comparison would be the Canik Mete SFT Pro. I was looking at both after shooting a friend's PDP Pro and trying out the Canik at my local range. I went with the Canik. It was cheaper than the PDP Pro and came with the Mecanik Red dot and additional plates for less than the PDP. Plus, I can use the mags from my other Caniks.
You do you! I’ll take the PDP over that as well. Great pistols all around
I've got the 4.5" PDP Pro, and threw a Herrington comp and LOK brass backstrap on it, the combo of more weight and the comp completely tamed the little bit of extra snap the PDP has.
I also own a 2018 TP9 SFx, and what's fun is swapping slides between the TP9 and the PDP...so, if you have a TP9 frame but want a more modern optics mounting system, and the ability to use Glock sights, and the world's best slide serrations, you could just pick up a PDP slide. :)
Good to know! Thanks for sharing!
They have a walther pdp pro SD at my local gun store right now and I just get mad when I walk past it because I'm poor.
Just hold out some hope!
Buds Gun Shop has a fantastic layaway my friend! I’ve gotten numerous firearms this way. They have a great selection and they have my PDP Pro SD Compact just waiting for me 😊
After holding both, the base thumb knuckle of my hand interferes with the pdp grip. Had to go canik. Oh and the slides are interchangeable on the canik
Great! Thanks for sharing!
Not sure about Walther but I have the Executive model of the Canik and it’s a single shot suppressed.
The executive and the elite Combat are nearly identical. The PDP Pro SD does come with another recoil spring for suppressed or comps.
I see that regular PDP magazines do not fit the PRO SD (unless you remove the flared mag well)... but do the PRO SD version of the mags fit into regular PDPs? (assuming both full size 18 round versions)
Not sure on that. Haven’t tried so can’t speak to it
Best review bro 👌
Thank you! 💪
So my PDP striker broke after 6000+rds specifically the tip...walthers customer service is very shitty, its been going on 2 weeks now they ask you to send your information and you get a email back not even a shipping label just a product information sheet and proof of receipt I actually had to pay for shipping the broke part. I've had caniks striker break on me before and their customer service is way better. Canik asked for a picture and serial number and address and they sent a replacement no questions asked
I have heard of horror stories from Walthers CS department
@Hunt Fish Shoot just got off the phone with them...and all I got was they are not in yet....striker assembly coming from Germany
See that’s just unacceptable in my opinion. Having owned a number of Beretta, Benelli and Franchi and Stoeger shotguns my whole life, their customer service isn’t like that at all. It’s simple, House the service department and spare parts in the US for better CS
I like the trigger better for Canik and really everything about it. Resell for the walther will be better if you trade guns out but if you keep them I think Canik elite combat is by far the best $ can buy
Canik is a great pistol for the money no doubt!
I have the Canik rival and it’s my favorite gun out of my whole arsenal lol. I can’t find the pdp. I want one. Aloha
Great pistol for sure and love the Rival!
PDP FTW!
🔥
Why don’t companies collaborate. Put the Canik sights and trigger on the Walt and you got something special.
Because they are competing!
@oceaser6977 couldn’t agree more with all of this!
Was gonna get the combat elite but went with the mete sft pro
Great option
What holster are you running for that pdp ???
Can I get an answer ???...if u guys don't answer ur subscribers questions...ur gonna lose subs...
We answer hundreds of questions and try to get all of them. One or two may slip through the cracks.
The holster is a Blackhawk Omnivore for the Streamlight TLR1 HL.
Also, your question was answered several times in the comment section before as well, if that helps!
@@HuntFishShootChannel it's kool...thanx for the reply...I'm still subbed...lol
I wanted to get the Canik, but it felt too small which sucked, but will probably buy one for my wife, so all good again.
Great!
Great comparison choice!!!
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
@@HuntFishShootChannel no thanks to your pdp sd pro video. i did some more research on the gun. And I just bought a compact pdp sd pro today. Worth every penny of its cost over the regular pdp. I appreciate walther being reasonably priced. …if this was a sig it would be $1k easy. Anyways love the gun.
Couldn’t agree more! Glad we could help 😂
Obviously the Walher pro is my next Walher
What tactical belt are you wearing ????
That would be an HRT Tactical Gear ARC belt and ARC pouches!
That's a nice setup I going to look into it, thanks for the info 👍🏽
@edward1963bg I love it! Ultralight and rigid!
@@HuntFishShootChannel definitely a NICE setup !!!👍🏽
@edward1963bg thank you!
Does the pdp need a plate to mount a Holosun 407c/507c ? Or is it a direct drop install?
Yes it needs a plate
Ok, buy the Walther if found at a gun store but you can’t go wrong with the Canik.
For sure 💪
