Some TH-camrs complained about rattling and being a bit loose slide to frame fit.
@@phenom7181 too loose for what?
@@maximusjoseppi5904 exactly…it’s not supposed to be super tight. The only thing for me personally is that my higher grip rides slide stop/release and not locking back on last round 50% of the time.
I was sitting here thinking didn’t I already watch this but none the less I watched it again hope you get your views back and more I like that rds just wish I was a holosun
Maybe they are trying to get Elon Musk to buy it lol
the grip is literally the most ergonomic form-fitting grip I've ever felt on a pistol
I think the exact opposite.
Why I must handle this weapon. Something about that grip tells me I will love it
@@speedygonzales8144 That sucks man. It feels like they took a mold of my hand when they made this gun. Do you have larger hands?
@siah5593 no I have small hands.. I actually liked the pdpf that has a smaller grip.. but I felt it was a little top-heavy which makes it a little Snappy. I wound up getting the Beretta apx A1 and has a lot less recoil and I got the Sig p365 XL to carry
Just because something feels good doesn’t mean you shoot any better.
You are absolutely right about basically losing interest in your other handguns. I pretty much just shoot this now. Its amazing. I cant believe how accurate it is.
Go try a Staccato if you want to experience even better
@@RootBeerGMT For the price I would hope so! They cost as much as my trap shotguns.
I agree I’m blown away with how accurate I shoot this firearm. Have about 500 through it and no malfunction and it’s so light weight even when fully loaded light optic and all.
@@RootBeerGMT Hahaha
@@RootBeerGMT you arent getting much better especially since staccatos go off when you drop them unlike walthers...
My first pistol was Walther PPQ 45. Absolutely amazing. I recently bought a used PDP 9mm, that came with with a Holosun 407K, 2 standard 14 round mags, and 16 round mag, a holster a and a case for $650 bucks. I put 500 rounds through it this month. Nothing short of amazing. Also what a steal. God bless Texas
I just did the exact same thing for the same price with the exact same setup. WPDP with the exact same mods, also used. Then they marked it down to $550 because the salesman messed up on my charges….
Where did you find it? Gun broker?
Local gun store
Got that one as well. Great gun.
Dude. I got mine for 300 at the pawn shop. I'm stoked.
Just bought one today. Sig p226 has been my go-to for 10 years. Haven’t considered a polymer pistol ever until I shot this one. For a CC gun, this is no less than amazing.
The SIG Sauer P226 and Walther PDP/PPQ are my two favorite 9mm pistols. 😉
Everything about this pistol screams "I was built just for you Mike!" I have really big gorilla hands and this pistol fits me SOOO well. The serrations are the best, like you said a few times. The slide lock, release is perfectly shaped. The grip feels like it was molded just for my hands. Best trigger hands down, period. I put a Floyds Custom magwell on mine, (but that did mean I had to spend more money on mag extensions, oh well) and it makes the grip feel even better, more secure in my hand. I have a Holosun 508T on top that compliments this thing beautifully. Zero slide-bite from the slide. And the return to zero is so fast and predictable. This is the best polymer frame pistol, hands down, on the market, in my opinion. I switched from my Glock 17 to the PDP for my service pistol, and I've NEVER looked back.
I swapped from Glock to CZ to the Walther PDP. Not one regret. this pistol is incredible.
I'm currently trying to decide on buying a Glock 19 Gen 5 or a PDP Compact 4" for cc and range fun. I have a Dagger but don't like the way the slide seems to sit uneven and a bit loose. I'm really struggling with deciding which one to buy.
I own the Walther PDP compact LE Edition 4" (15+1), the Walther PDP Pro SD 5.1" (18+1), in addition to the Walther PPQ M2 45 4.25" (12+1). These 3 are some of the very best modern handguns of present time.
If you had to have only one of those, which would you keep?
@@drumlessons833 PDP Pro SD.
How does the PDP Pro feel compared to the Compact?
@@pennyrobinson4266 the PDP Pro SD is high performance.
Are Le editions allowed to be purchased by regular citizens?
You got me with your thumbnail. I was prepared to come here, and argue that I love mine and recommend them highly. I have let several people at the range shoot them and a couple have said they would be buying one. I have a PDP 4.5 inch full size and 4 inch compact. I have over 25,000 rounds through my full size and 12,000 rounds through my compact, with no failures.I liked them so much I bought a full size for my son and a,PDP F for my daughter, they both love them too. The only problem I had was finding a shoulder holster for the gun. I did find a guy locally who makes custom holsters mostly for hunters and he made me three, one for each gun and then one that carries both, one on each side. He asked me why I wanted the double holster I said what if I get shot in the righr hand or otherwise lose use of it. Just another Walther fan.
I just recently bought my first handgun for concealed carry. It is a Canik TP9 Elite Combat. I absolutely love that gun. A good friend of mine said “you know why it’s such a good gun? Because they cloned it after the Walther design”. Me not knowing too much about Walther’s, he let me shoot his PDP and he shot my Canik. He actually praised my Canik and the upgrades Salient arms did with Canik on the Elite Combat. Such as the barrel and the good, heavy steel rear sight and fiber optic steel front sight. He loved the trigger on it, as do I. I was equally impressed with his Walther even though I don’t know a lot about the different brands out there. I love the serrations on the Walther! the grip is incredible. So guess what I just did last week? Ordered a Walther PDP! I have a really nice Walther clone. So I figured why not get the original! Cool video!
I had the same thing happen when I bought my mete. Then I ran out and bought a pdp lol
@@brendon9032 canik’s CZ75 clones were good too I hear, I don’t think they get imported anymore though. Apparently the company also makes modernized M2 Browning machine guns as well
I just traded my tp9 elite combat in towards the purchase of my PDP Pro ( my 2nd PDP ). The combat was excellent it just wasn’t the same.
Yep, Clone of the Walther P99... I bought a Walther P99 when it first came out after seeing it used as James Bond's gun in the movie "Tomorrow Never Dies" in 1997..
Bought both Walther 4: PDP I mean awesome trigger and the best grips, nxt favorite is the CANIK METE 5" BARREL better trigger i think then the Walther but the grips are better on the Walther, but you can't go wrong, the Walther was around $550 and CANIK was 575 - 600 THE BEST GUNS FOR THE PRICE ,I definitely don't need any more hand guns thats how GOOD THEY ARE ,go to a gun show or shop and try there Triggers u will be amazed 😊
I'm left handed- the ambi controls are great. I carry my Walther PDP Compact- 4" in a Blackhawk Leather belt loop IWB holster. It's a great gun. I DO love my Canik METE SF, and my Grand Power Q100. The PDP, just feels great in my large hands, is totally reliable, and is very accurate. The only mod I've done so far, is install a set of Trijicon night sights. I'm just not a red dot shooter at this point. Great review!
My only worry is that because I have such a high support hand grip, I'll pin the slide release and won't get slide lock back. Glocks have aftermarket raised slide releases, but PDP doesn't really have a whole bunch of aftermarket support.
Also I appreciate a reviewer who can actually shoot. Nice sub 6in groupings. Nothing makes me discredit a review faster than when the reviewer throws rounds all over a huge man shaped silhouette target at 20 yards
Is there a solution for the slide release? Aftermarket part? I’m thinking of buying one but I can see this as a BIG problem. I shot a H&K VP9 and had this problem with it, slide stop/release lever is in about the same spot. Didn’t have an issue with a Glock19, it’s release is small and further forward.
After getting a Walther PPK-S stainless steel .380 40 years ago as my only handgun, I started looking for another handgun. When the PPQ came out I really wanted one,still do but when I saw this new PDP v2.0 compact Red dot ready I told my wife about it and she bought one for me. She got herself the fantastically small new S&W Bodyguard 2.0 .380 for CC as she has small hands. Every thing mentioned in this video I can attest to. I got the new Holosun CSC Green Dot which was made specifically for the PDP. I originally wanted the less expensive Fastfire C but couldn’t find a mount plate for it. The Holosun even matches the rear serrations on the slide that makes it look like it’s part of the gun and not an add on an needs no mount plate! Just put the first 100 rounds through it and lovevlovevlove it! Green dot solar sight was right on out of the box and has co-witness with the guns sights because it mounts so low on the slide.
I agree with your comments 100% as I now only want to shoot my 4.5 inch Walther PDP and my other handguns are getting extended time in the safe for the foreseeable future. In addition to the $40 to $50 PDP mags, I am now “having” to order mag baseplates, upgraded blackstrap and magwell all from Taylor Freelance to make this my new IDPA carry optics gun.
Gun mag warehouse has them for 36 to 40 right know. I agree with you I still love my p10 f I have the pro pdp though that trigger is great. I am upgrading all p10 c/ p10f to overwatch triggers makes them very similar. Although pro has just a bit less take up. I am just about to buy some of Taylor Freelance products myself, looks like great quality and price honestly.
Traded in my PPQ for the PDP 4" and love it. Crazy accurate and just feels perfect in my hand. You're right about spending money though, just ordered my 2nd holster and haven't even received my first yet.
I ain't gonna trade in my PPQ. Thing felt okay in the hand. Just threw some talon pro grips on it and now it feels phenomenal. I am gonna get a compact pdp 5 inch though, so they can share mags.
@@Catgat37 Yeah, I'd say the only notable improvement for me between the two is the grip texture. People say the PDP has a better trigger than the PPQ but from what I can tell, it feels the same. And I actually prefer the finger grooves on the PPQ. I don't like red dot sights either so I'm happy sticking with the PPQ. I think it was a smart move by Walther to re-release this gun as the PDP because the PPQ was just always under the radar and now it's finally getting the love it deserved.
How has your experience been after 2 months?
@@SolDizZo I personally really like it. I can understand that it is not necessarily for everyone. Does have a bit snappier recoil impulse than some firearms, but you get used to it. Gun snaps and then comes back on target pretty quick and usually right back to poa. I have put 700 rounds through it and it runs great.
I have the PDP PRO SD Compact 4” and the 3.5" f-series....my usual favorites sit in the safe now.
I strongly recommend the Walther Performance Trigger upgrade too.
If they every have them in stock
What's the deal with the Pro Compact? Don't they force you to use the extended mags that brings you to 18 rounds which is a full size pistol at that point? How does the F feel? I know it's supposed to be for women but it's more of a carry size.
@@mc4056if you take the magwell off, it fits the std 15 round mags. Nothing else needed.
How does the f-series feel compared to the pro compact?
Was wondering the same thing.@@TengoUnGatoEnLosPantelones
I recently purchased a slightly used PDP compact not ever checking out a Walther firearm before. Its previous owner had installed Trijicon night sights (another advantage for me) which are awesome too! I’m so amazed at how this gun feels in the hand, almost like it was molded for my hand custom fit! The slide, I refer to the serrated cuts as mud grips, as rugged as they look, feel amazing as you rack the slide! Great job Walther! And great job to you Sir on this video and content!
Glad to hear this as a first time buyer. I have heard such high reviews of the walther and dude at the shop said if i mail my serial number and receipt i get 150 free round. Gun felt great. Made the glocks seem like shit
they are
Agreed. I bought the gun for my wife, but thank God I didn’t tell her that. She’ll be fine with the one she already has. I absolutely love my Archon type B, I shoot it well & it feels great in my hand - this may be even better + the PDP is optic ready
You just messed up as she reads what you wrote. She’s going to come home and ask you to give it up. Full ATF on your ass 😂🤣😂
Got to get one.
Bruh, I just picked up the 4" compact version and was thinking maybe I made a mistake based on your vid title alone. (I understand it's a lil snappier than the full size, but still--all compacts are..) Glad I clicked and watched to the end. Can't wait to take it to the range!
Just picked mine up yesterday. It doesn't suck nearly as much as you claim. It sucks just as much as my other Walthers.
Edit: After an additional 150 rounds today, this gun may suck more than my other Walthers. Sadly will have to wait a while to get an optic for it.
My first option out of a list of around 12 pistols - is the WALTHER PDP PRO SD with 9mm 18+1, Holosun 508T-RD-X2; and the Streamlight TLR-1HL. I spend several months and many hours on TH-cam listening to what others have to say about performance and reliability. Went to the range and test fired it. All I kept saying was "HOLY SHIT.....WOW" and I was very impressed with my shot group (no not the side of a barn). I say around 25 feet and paper targets. As all the commentators and firearms' enthusiast - The Walther PDP PRO SD pistol (in my opinion) stands out as a pinnacle of modularity and versatility in the world of duty pistols. With an array of features catering to customization and adaptability, this firearm exemplifies innovation in design. I love how it fits in my hands and the esthetics.
Here's what I think about it's Performance: The Walther PDP PRO SD pistol delivers on its promise (watch the many videos - yes! on TH-cam) of being a duty-ready firearm. The combination of these features translates into a reliable and user-friendly shooting experience. The modularity not only enhances performance but also accommodates individual shooter preferences.
Durability: Walther has a history of producing durable and reliable firearms, and the PDP PRO SD appears to continue this tradition. Quality materials and precision engineering contribute to the pistol's longevity, making it a reliable companion in various duty scenarios. Conclusion: The Walther PDP PRO SD pistol stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and user-centric design. Its modular features, including the Picatinny rail, optics-ready capability, reversible mag release, and various customization options, make it an excellent choice for those seeking a duty pistol that adapts to their unique needs. Walther has successfully combined versatility with performance, resulting in a firearm that meets the high standards expected of a duty pistol.
LASTLY: I say to always check for the latest reviews and user feedback (TH-cam) to ensure you get the latest up-to-date information on any weapon ....you paying for it. Might as well do your homework.

I laughed out loud at the opening.
Who would slag a PDP? 😂
I tried and tried to get one but none available, so bought a Sig 320 RXP as the runner up.
One day I'll get my hands on that PDP. 🙏
Cabelas has them in stock. Just bought mine last week
@@Mang213 I'm in Central America.
No one has them here, so it's hurry up and wait.
If i had found the Walther PDP compact 5 before i ever picked up a Glock, I'd probably not have Glocks. My 1911 is a keeper though... There is nothing about the Walther design that doesn't make it a better weapon. Love it.
I also live in South Florida, so I'm extra glad I went with a stainless steel slide with our salty humid air. But that Walther looks way more comfortable than my Taurus. I've been thinking about looking towards a steel framed PDP as my next gun.
First time buyer, and shooter. The 5" compact was what i bought, $579 on consignment, brother told me it looks to have barely been used. Shop owner said i won't regret, that it will be hard to find another PDP at this price, and condition. Was gonna get a Beretta APX A1, opted to spend the extra $180 for PDP. 600 rounds in, and effing love this thing!
I have to admit you’ve got me with the video title. But I’ve expected the outcome of this video. I’ve bought the Walther Q5 SF expert for iron sight competitions, I didn’t like the trigger and the slide of the CZ Shadow 2. As a German, picking the Walther has a neat little advantage, if you are shooting state or nation wide competition, there is always a Walther booth with spare parts should you need one. Unfortunately I can’t buy as many 9mm guns as I want, but I can buy a second for competitions wich are done with optics. So the FullSize PDP Pro SD will be my next 9mm ❤
I hate/love my Walther PDP 5" Full Size for the same reasons. The accuracy, grip, recoil, etc.....fabulous. Too big for EDC so I would like to get the 4" 15-round Compact now.
4 inch pdp-f rules
Title caught my eye but I had a feeling this was the direction it was going to go. lol. I'm leaning 90/10 towards the PDP over the echelon for an upcoming purchase.
Walther's PPQ M2 is well worth the money. Very dependable.
I love my Walther PDP, but apparently I am the only person to have a problem with the pistol. My gun has about 1000 rounds through it and 3 times the trigger has jammed after reset. No travel to the wall at all and complete jam. Twice it did not clear with emergency reload and eventually it unjammed due to whatever I did to it. Sunday was the 3rd time it happened in the middle of a run and gun multiple targets for time. I contacted Walther and waiting to hear what they want to do. Its about 6 months old.
I for one wouldn't mind an update on this sir. Thanks!
That’s a bummer
@@bobbyraejohnson they fixed it within 7 days and paid for shipping. Lifetime warranty
Two of the best OR pistols out of the box optic wise, is the PDP and the FN 509. The biggest issue with the majority of OR pistols are the fact that the optics cut was an after thought, with the PDP and 509 it was built with the intent to be OR.
Love my PDP, but I shoot my VP9 so much better naturally. I’m sure training more with the PDP would iron out my wrinkles but the only guy and I like more than the PDP is the VP nine and it’s just because I have never naturally shot a gun better. Build quality and all of that stuff I would say they’re pretty equal and it’s really kind of like Ferrari Lamborghini in my eyes. I’m just so glad I have both and I would hate to have to pick one but if I had to pick just one I would have to go with the VP9 just because I feel I’d shoot it better under stress.
Do you have the 2020?
the VP9 was tested all the way to 80,000 rounds n was built with hard duty in mind - was the PDP built with same intentions
I have it and it kicks ass! Amazing trigger. Super grip. Love the mag well. Got the optic plate in a week. Slide is great. Barrel is fantastic. Best handgun ever. Worth every penny.
I’ve had mine now for about two months or so, 5 inch barrel compact handle, and I have put about 450 rounds through it, had one dud Federal ammo 115 grain misfire and after 200 rounds of federal, I switched to certified reloads at a cool $.25 each bought by the thousand and the gun miss fired or jammed three or four times in every 10 round magazine, disappointed with it I took it home and cleaned it and oiled it, I never oiled it when I bought it new it had some little dabs here and there, and shot another 300 rounds of reloads no misfire after cleaning and oiling, so my experience?
It’s an excellent, larger, size pistol, but I highly recommend oiling it with some quality oil before shooting, I’m convinced that’s why I had issues, I highly recommend one!
Yeah, that grip texture is hands down the best. Second is M&P but man! I wish I could have that texture on all my guns.
Right?!?!
Getting my first CC pistol this week hopefully. Altho I spent my childhood shooting lots of everything w my firearm collector Judge father 😂. he'd be proud of my choice. I hope my shop has one in stock so I can feel it n try it. Bro u absolutely sold me. I'm also a lefty, so my options I was looking at, not a big pool. Sigp365, HK vp9, and this (don't want the standard Glock) my father despised Glocks. I'm almost 39! I can't believe it's taken me this long! Pops passed at 18yo. Ty! 🙏👍👊
Unfortunately I'm in NY, So I'm capped At 10. Is this EXACT size n configuration available for 10 rounds? Or do I have to make the handle smaller. I really wanna keep that nice big handle.
Bahahaha when I saw the title of this video I was thinking “noooooo I want this gun so baaad” and now that I’ve watched the video, I’m getting it with the grey frame!
Hey I was thinking the same thing. I'm also thinking how do you go about getting a different color, I saw tan green and gray, do you just have to check dealers and see what they're offering? Im looking to get the same sized one in the video 4-in barrel full grip.✌🏻
I like the full size better than the compact. Less muzzle flip and dead accurate. The PDP sd with the tactical barrel and the upgraded trigger is simply amazing
I have had mine for about 5 months now. Im trading mine in. It shoots way low. Going back to my h&k .
It's true the gun is more accurate than the shooter. You might check your basic fundamentals
Been shooting a long time. If I don't like it,I don't like it. Some like Glock. I don't. Same with the Walther.
The F model feels even better. Didn't think that would be possible, but they done it.
I love my pdp. Really it's only negative is the high bore access which can be mitigated with a stronger grip. Ended up getting their 50n tungsten guide rod and grabbed a brass backstrap painted black and that really helped balance out the pistol. I've put over 4k rounds through mine and have had multiple issues with their "new" magazines with the blue follower. The springs are MUCH weaker than the original ones that came with the red followers. Once the magazine has seen maybe 400 rounds they become far too weak and star causing failure to feeds.
and the stronger grip comes natural with aggressive texturing and ergonomics of the grip.
My fiance got me the 4" Full Size and I am in love...with her too
Axis
Yeah the high bore axis is a really big problem with pistols I mean how can you even shoot it like that. 😂
@@merdith6 It's honestly a non issue once you find an efficient grip.... Sure the felt recoil may seem "snappy" but due to the ergonomics of the pistol you're able to snap that dot right on target with great balance.
@@DarylRagland-ds1op I swear I typed AXIS, I'm blaming my auto-correct on this one LMAO,
Just wait until you upgrade to the Dynamic Performance Trigger. By far the best, most comfortable gun ever. Love mine.
Hahah . I am debating this as my first gun and I was like “ok so finally someone is saying this sucks”, def was not what I expected 😂.
Buy yourself the full size PDP
@@pauldvorsky1969 looking for an all purpose . Carry/bedside
@@SaintsCheat compact frame 5” slide
Pdp pro
This video is hilarious because the title pissed me off. You see, I love my PDP. So, someone saying that it "suck" caught my attention immediately. Mission accomplished. Your click bait worked. 🤣
I just bought a full size 5in and now I want to get a compact for carry.
I’m paid for mine too, just waiting for it to come in, can’t wait
I think I’m gonna pick up the pro SD compact soon. Not a fan of the mag well but definitely want the threaded barrel and upgraded trigger
Took my full size to the range today and ran almost 100 rounds through it. While not as excited as this reviewer, it was a nice overall experience. The shot groups at 10, 15 and 25 yards were all quite good actually. The trigger was good but not INCREDIBLE imho. Still room for improvement. All in all, agood sub $700 purchase.
Thanks for this review! Does your video stay full ad available or does it get ad limited because of the content and a few cuss words?
I cant wait. Ive been going to one of my local ranges and shooting several different pistols to find one i liked. This is my first pistol, and so i wanted to take my time and find something I'd like. Well, I now have a full size 5in PDP on a layaway and it's gonna be coming home in 2 weeks with my next check. Cant wait.
I have to fully agree with this video. I shot my PDP for the first time; it’s now a part of my EDC rotation
Glad you cleared up the 20 yard comments. I was gonna call BS just by counting the squares on the wall. Think it’s less than 17 also.
i have just gotten to the point in my life where i can buy nicer things so i am thankful that to have decided this to be my next purchase.
I shoot my P365XL build significantly more than my PDP. It's just flat out more fun to shoot. I've considered changing some things up on the PDP, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. I could just switch to Smith or go back to Glock which I shot fine, but the options for optics ready slides just weren't there for the 19.5 at the time.
PS. The grip texture is actually really weak. I don't know if mine is just worn down after a year+, but it's honestly kinda slippery. I genuinely don't understand why they gave us the terrible texture on the front strap. Front and back strap should be AGGRESSIVE, and the side texture should be close to what you get with Smith. As for the slide serrations, the P10F is more aggressive and they aren't as deep.
As for hot spots, I found that right above my knuckle on my thumb I actually do get a bit of a hot spot if I choke up really aggressively. Never had that issue with Glock. The grip of the P10F, and the Wilson Combat Module are definitely more ergonomic for me.
I really hope people don't take this video super seriously. This is not an objective review of the PDP. It's a good gun, but it is not THIS good. It needs more grip texture, the slide is overly bulky for no reason, the trigger is decent but honestly triggers aren't something I really fuss about, the optic cut is deep but that isn't really a selling point since you can get other guns milled or you can buy something like a Shadow systems that has a deep cut. If you buy the PDP thinking it's going to be the BEST, then you might end up really happy or really dissapointed. I bought it because it was optics ready, and I wanted to give Walther a chance. Now that I've given it a chance, I think I'm just going to stick with Smith or Glock in the future for polymer and BUL for 2011's.
Triggers aren’t anything to fuss about???? How are they not??
The only complaint for me is to carry is kind of bulky but great gun. I own the full and compact size
Walther is like HK's humble badass older brother.
The PDP 4” is my favorite gun - period and I own 5 Wilson 1911’s, 2 EDC X9’s and a Nighthawk Bull - I will never spend monet again 9:53 except for another PDP, a Pro, a steel frame and a 4.5” - they are that good!
Just ordered the compact 4-in barrel and after watching this review and many others I'm really really excited for it to come in.....
I bought one a few months ago I have 8 hand gun my 9mm 4": barrel PDP has a great trigger and grips ,this guy is RIGHT and my nxt favorite is the CANIK METE 5" Barrel has maybe a be sweeter trigger but the Walther has better grips,I HAVE SHOT ALOT OF GUN UNDER $700 AND IF WANT I MEAN A GREAT GUN FOR THIS PRICE I BEG YOU TO BUY THESE 2 GUNS
Hey man please let me know exactly what type of optic that is on it and laser. The setup and color is so clean!!!
I love my PDP, but I also love my Sig P320 AXG Equinox. Two of the most accurate and enjoyable guns to shoot ever!
I really like your review and setup. Can you please share what red dot and light you installed on your PDP 4" compact? Thanks!
Definitely will be my next gun. I have the P 99 and I love it. Thank you for the review. Keep them videos coming. Thank you for sharing this great review. Appreciate you very much. Stay safe out there.🫡
I put the DPT trigger with Sprinco springs in mine, and if it wasn't for the takeup, it'd literally be better than my staccato 2011 trigger.
If you don't have a PDP you're missing out.
Safariland needs to start supporting this gun
I bought one without ever firing it. Just held it in my hand and said that was the one
You are right - I bought the PDP-F and it sucks.....It has caused my G19 to be a safe resident. 😂😂
I have a can in time-out, and I plan to buy a second PDP-F and put the threaded barrel in it, so I can have a loud or a quiet party!
Great video! I found the TLR7A light, but what brand and model are your sights? Looks like Trijicon. Thanks!
I just bought mine a couple of weeks ago. Why does Walther sell an aftermarket “performance”trigger? Does that make any sense? Any pointers?
Thanks for the awesome video!
yes it make sense, you can replace the original trigger with it. The original is for duty i guess and the perfomance for sport
I agree! Only thing I don't like is the finish on the slide is already wearing. I've had it for a month and a half and the sharp, pointy edges on the slide are worn through to bare metal the gun hasn't seen a holster yet. If it's not in my hand it's in the case. Other than that, this pistol is stellar.
I have 3000 rd on mine with quite a few draws from a holster. I have practically no wear on the slide. What are you doing to wear through the finish like that?
@@Murphy82nd
Nothing I can pinpoint. The gun is never holstered. If it's not in my hand, it's in the case or on a clean table. This really bugs me. I may see if Walther will warranty this.
If not, I'll buy another damn slide. The Walther is the only firearm I own with this problem. I'm not into the "battle worn" look. I prefer my little arsenal stay as close to pristine as I can keep them.
I was surprised how beat up mine was on the ejection port after the first time i used it. The ejecting casings scratched the hell out of the finish.
@@zpacleb typically it’s not the casings scratching the finish, but actually the reverse assuming you’re using brass. Those are brass marks left on the finish itself. You can often get them out with a solvent if you try.
@@zpacleb yeah, the finish is pretty easy to damage. I'm not sure what I want to do yet
I watched the full 20m video and I did not see where you said if you like the gun or not....
If they would bring back the paddle mag release I'd get one.
This has got to be the most enthusiast gun review I’ve ever seen! 😁
Just bought the PDP compact and its HEAVEN!! I do still enjoy my HK Vp9 and Canik Tp9 but this is DEFINITELY going to be my EDC until it falls apart
ya, only gun that comes close is my VP9SK-B with a full custom re-texture, optics cut, and a metal trigger shoe. but thats a lot of custom work i had to do to get it "close" to the pdp haha.
Sounds like I just bought The Best and my first pistol. I’m excited to have fun with this‼️
GREAT REVIEW, but can i ask where you got those glasses and are they Rx?
I have two now… Probably gonna get an F-Series too…😢
Pdp is probably going to be one of my future guns to go along with all my other guns lol.
YESSSSSSS! I’m already Dreaming about the Pro’s! Truth
is the lower bore axis and more snappyness worth it over a fully gucci'd glock (19)
True, Until I got my CZ TS2. I still love the PDP, but shooting 4 lb trigger versus a less than 2lb tigger is no comparison. Takes me a couple magazines to get used it, after shooting the CZ. Also it is snappy, no doubt about it.
Agreed. This gun is solid for sure. That’s exactly how I feel about the staccato P. It’s like a cheat code gun.
I had a Staccato C2 for a bit, didn't care for it. I know the Staccato P is a different animal. But the C2 was very underwhelming. My Walther Q4 SF is now quite possibly my favorite handgun ever. Especially for the price I got it for.
That rapid fire 🔥 on that headshot..sold me
That’s how the PPQ is, it’s just such a wonderful gun. Makes me feel like a sharpshooter at 25 yards….. then I fire something else and get brought back to reality 😂
What I hate about this gun is that they are not available in my state. Commifornia! 😷
I had that problem, then I found out there were plenty of other gun friendly states. Here in Florida, we get a ton of 2a transplants from Cali.
if you're a left hander, this is THE BEST pistol I've ever found
I’m about to buy one. Super excited
Wish we have it available in our country. Unfortunately, our firearms that are for sale are limited here.
Great video !,, love my PDP where did you get that base pad ?. And holy compensating compressor lol 😂 ❤
😅 YA got me!
Having loved this gun for two years I wanted to hear some criticism and your convincing lead up had me laughing.
Well done. 👍
I don't have a PDP yet. Got one on layaway. My Walthers do suck in this respect. I only want to buy Walthers now. I bought a Q4 SF and I thought that ruined me for all handguns. But then out of curiosity, bought a PPQ M2 and a PPS M2. They are both awesome guns as well. Just threw some talons on the PPQ and am gonna try it out at the range in a few.
Wished these were more available in my country, I loved Walther designs.
What a great alternative to consider after seas of Glock here and another one is CCP M2+
I can't stand Glock trigger that's why and this looked so much better out of the box than any Glock I've seen.
Feels like I have to readjust my grip every time I shot one of the Glock compact models as well man the grip felt terrible in my hands.
I feel your pain.
Just picked one up and now I want another :)
Are you recommending the
PDP Pro ? because that the one with the better trigger
I've had so many misfires with mine. Any suggestions? Running Winchester and red army. Same goes through my h&k vp9l and have had zero issues in that gun..
I use Browning FMJ and HP and have had no issues.
Though I've only shot it sub 500 times so take that as you will.
Good Day! I appreciate your video and review! If I may make a suggestion? Please include the specifics; brand, item number of accessories you've added into your description, as it will help us out. I was able to find the Streamlight - TLR 7A - after reading through ALL of the comments, but I missed the specs on the Red Dot. If you mentioned it, and I missed it, my bad! Thanks!
What kind of optic is that.... I just got this pistol the other day haven't shot it yet but it feels wonderful in my hands considering my hands are small. I know I will love this handgun btw mine is the 3.5 inch
Great firearm I love mine with my RMR. And I just did the most romantic think I’ve done in my 23 years of marriage to my sweet wife. I bought her the PDP-F today 😂😂
Good thing I’m looking for my first handgun. 😂 I’ve heard only great things about the pdp so I’m glad to hear I’ll be set for a while.
Ambidextrous weirdo here. Lol Thanks for the review. Have been trying to decide between the PDP and the PDP F. Since I have small hands, thought maybe the PD F would be better for CC. Anyone have experience with both?
I keep hearing about this trigger but I must be brutally honest that the Glock performance trigger never gets credit. I think it literally is one of the greatest triggers in a striker fire pistol ever
