bit.ly/3h1WcNj
The Walther PDP is a gun I took for granted when I first shot it. However, as I've continued to shoot it, I've come to one massive conclusion, every full-size gun should feel as good as the Walther PDP in my hands.
That's not to say that ergonomics are the Walther PDP's only saving grace. This gun has impressed me with its trigger, its weight, its capacity, its full-body features, how flat it shoots, and quite frankly, I can see the Walther PDP possibly becoming one of if not my favorite full-size workhorse handgun.

#GunsAreEssential
I picked one of these up for my 21st birthday, literally the day I turned 21. The guy at the store congratulated me on my first handgun and thanked me for picking something of quality and not a piece of crap.
Thats awesome !!!!
4inch?
Walther makes a gun straight from the factory, that people spend hundreds or thousands to turn their glocks into
Not a fan of the Glock circle jerk.
I had a full-size,1st generation Baby Eagle that I had a mad 20+year love affair with, and it was the same thing as this Walther: from the second I picked it up, I never bought another handgun! I didn't need to, I didn't want to. It was perfect out of the box (except for the sights, which I rectified with factory 3-dots)
Sadly, it was stolen during a break-in, has yet to be recovered, and the current iteration of the BE just isn't the same.
So, I picked up a CZ P10C/LE model: its features are identical to the Walther, but I miss the BE so much, I've had the CZ 8 months now, and haven't fired it yet. It almost feels like I'd be cheating if I fired a younger handgun...☹
I literally thought this as I watched Gun Thots review of this gun. They thought it was "meh" compared to a tricked out Glock. I seriously couldn't tell if they were trolling or not.
The Walther PDP is the new standard of what polymer guns should be... Glock no longer holds that anymore
@@alejandrogarcia3227 Glock=Crocs
I’ll be honest, I kind of never understood what the big deal was about “trigger feel” that people go on about, until i shot the PDP. Now it’s hard to go back to anything else.
My friend you have no idea that's not even as good as it gets
@Chris G 😂😂😂😂😂
@Chris G absolutely you get it 100%
@Chris G 226 is short to you?!??! I have both 229 and 226 legions 226 in DA/SA and 229 in Sao and I have pretty good size hands no issues with either... Wanna know what blows them away? Fucking staccato man it's insane I couldn't believe how much difference then I understood the cost difference
@Chris G I hear that man definitely ready for shit to go back to normal prices are coming down slowly but who knows
This pistol just *_looks_* phenomenal, it's that perfect blend of slender lines and aggressiveness
I love it when Colion gets giggly about a particular firearm. :-)
LOVE my 4.5” Full-Size PDP! Have over 5,000 rounds through it since February. You hold this gun, you will fall in love with that grip and trigger. The tall front sight and lack of 18 round mags, however, will drive you crazy. Still, it’s worth getting.
Moved from California to AZ and decided to buy a handgun. PDP Full Size 5in was my choice and my first gun :) Thank you AZ for letting me open carry :)
Welcome to the pew pew life.
I did almost the exact same thing. Moved from CA to AZ, but my first gun here was a sig p365 xl so i would have a small carry pistol to replace the shield i sold. Once i had that, i bought a 5in PDP full size the day it came in stock at sportsman's warehouse.
Welcome brotherine to the free country
@@davidfaurote9319 Thank you sir! So glad. knowing I can protect my Fam and my self when I go out and about. Just bought another one a month ago HK VP9 Tac and love that one too :)
@@IMD918 Night and day from CA to AZ huh!? Cool to be able to carry. Walked into a store where a Cop was there and he did not say one thing just look at me and went on his way. Crazy man
Picked up the 5 inch version back in April, feels great, shoots great, an absolute tack driver. Well done Walther.
Picked up the compact version a cpl months ago. It's my first walther and I must say hes not exaggerating any feature. The weight, the grip, the ergonomics, the trigger, it's all top notch!
That thing is a beast. To start with the PPQ as the benchmark and EXCEED the standard at the same price point is phenomenal.
Just got my Walter pdp in a couple of days ago, I’m very pleased with my purchase. Appreciate your reviews
its a bad ass gun. Congrats on your purchase.
The ppq is the gun that taught me how to shoot right. Perfect it. It did that for me.
I bought the 4" full size frame when it first came out. This is now my favorite pistol in my collection. Period. And I think it's PDP= Performance Duty Pistol, just sayin... Best stock striker fired trigger I've ever shot. I love how it's so crisp and clean! I have real big hands and this is PERFECT for me!
Cz has good shit with the p10 series a close tie I would say for stock triggers
@@legionp229saoconvertedme4 Good to know. I own a P-10F and I was wondering if the PDP was that different.
@@chezbooga um it is but I say the p10 series has the advantage as far as reset and audible reset defot a better feel to me
I had a p10f, PDP trigger is better than the Cz.
Don’t get me wrong, I do love cz.
@@ACGBLR I think I got a lemon on my PDP then.. cuz the reset is way better on the p10f for me
My wife and I have a Match 5, and even with her being 4'10" she can hold and shoot the pistol with no issues. First Walther I ever bought and will never sell it. My HK P30L is still my favorite....
This is my next gun. Checked one out last month at a local store and experienced everything you said minus the actual shooting of the gun. A firearm masterpiece. Cannot wait to get one.
Awesome handgun. Trigger is ooh so sweet. I concur with Colion's comments. I encouraged by brother to purchase one as well. No regrets.
The moment I saw the grip it just looked like it would feel perfect in the hand especially perfect for pinky pressure to keep the gun on target under recoil.
I agree with everything you said. I picked up the 4.5” PDP, along with the McToosey, and now I have two great pistols to carry for Midwest winters and summers.
Walther has been putting out AMAZING handguns for years. Best standard triggers going. My fave handguns by far. I own 4 of them, including the PDP. I wish they'd make a micro-compact version. Simply excellent.
I wished they'd make a pdp just a tad bigger than a hellcat
Preach! Walther needs to update their PPS to be double-stack.
@@allenc4909 I wished they'd make a double stack ccp m2 with a normal guide rod to soften fire.
I loved mine but it was a hard shooter,not the hardest but with the barrel being the guide rod there wasn't any options to soften recoil.
Guess that's damn near the description of a ppq I guess tho lol.
I really didn't like the PPQ when I shot it.
Thanks for the video, CN. I enjoy all your work and appreciate all you do as a 2A champion.
I have the pdp compact and it’s my primary edc. He nailed it on the weight, I couldn’t believe how light it is but it’s very controllable still and the trigger is oh so nice! I’m with him on the sights.. not a fan of them and I’m going to switch them out soon. Sights are accurate, just not a fan of polymer sights.
I have the compact also just wish the 5" would have come out at the same time as now I am on the hunt for one of them.
What kind of sights are compatible I wanna get one but wanna have night sights
@@zackrko25 any glock 19 and 17 sights are compatible
@@zackrko25 Seems like anything Glock....Amazon seems to be a good place to start & look for night sights then go Google after that to price shop deals. I have a few picked out as my compact will likely be the new bedroom gun & once I find a 5" compact that doesn't have the rattle that will simply get fiber optic sights for range time. I've never shot a pistol with a red dot so not sure I will spend the money on that. Bought a cheap $35 reflex sight for my kid's M&P 15-22 pistol off Amazon which actually is pretty cool 👍 I will eventually go RDO I'm sure....
What are you using for a holster? Bit the bullet and bought one today, it's phenomenal, the search for a holster though is another story
My brother has like 3 Walther PPQs. He really likes that make. I bought a HK VP9 years ago and when they are side by side. They look like someone copied the other.
HK VP9 and the PPQ are nearly identical. The walther in my opinion has a better trigger but the HK(which I own) is the superior overall gun. Very similar though and can’t go wrong with either.
There's a canik that you can switch the slides on with the ppq,the q match and another model.
I've had the ccpm2 and have the ppsm2 and want a ppq for a keeper.
@@OleMisss At first I didn't like the HKs mag release but after awhile. I started to prefer it over the usually button release.
Funny thing. I was looking into buying a 9mm. I was looking at glocks, berettas all kinds of stuff. The issue I had was every gun I looked at a friend or family member already had it. I asked my best friend if he had any ideas. He said "Get a VP9. That'll make your brother jealous". I never heard of VP9. I googled it and when I saw the picture I said "I want to hold that!". When my permit came in I bought one that day. Little did I know my brother was planning on getting one but the great state of NJ took 9 months to give him his permits -.- Now he feels he can't get one lol
@@inanimateuser9828 I just sold a elite sc and was sick for 2 weeks over letting it go,but I didn't carry it cause I carry a 365 since I've got a little gut on me and it conceals a little better but it's one of the best firearms I've ever had.
Factory non modded ones.
I have the fullsize model and everything you said is spot on very sweet shooter outstanding weapon currently one of my favorites
I have full size 4 5in. I've never been able to shoot this fast and this accurately with any other handgun like you said the gun just runs and I have shot a lot of guns great video
Bro you are having too much fun (w pdp) I literally fell in love with this gun the first time I saw it. can't wait to purchase one.
I bought the Full Size 5" to have as a range toy. Fabulously accurate. I have a Glock 43 and Canik Elite SC for EDC. I'd like to get the PDP Compact 4" for my next EDC.
Walther and Canik can use each other's magazines...love that, too.
I’ve always been a DA/SA shooter but when I held this pistol, I had to own it. When I shot it, I knew this striker fired pistol would be my new EDC favorite!
I have many options for EDC but when this is paired with a Holosun 507c, those options are no longer good enough!!
As an old dude I bought the M2 because the slide racked pretty easy. As for the sightsm you are correct, they suck, one of the white inserts separated from the rear site on mine.
This was great after watching your 20 second review of this gun
Appreciate what you do for the Second Amendment and thank you for being a voice for the Second Amendment
This.
I'm glad you caught on
The only problem is Americans themselves have rendered the 2A completely useless
@@Saber23 how so
@@devensantos9541 because it’s completely failed in its purpose, the US government has been tyrannical since the second it was formed and not once has the “militia” marched down to DC in order to fight them and since liberalism atomizes society it doesn’t matter if you’re armed or not you’ve become easy to control regardless
Bought this gun based on your earlier vids. Didn’t disappoint! Love my pdp.
New to shooting was trying all kinds of handguns all felt ok. The day i picked this gun up in one second i said this is the gun i will carry
Yep, Noir, you're the best. Thank you for everything!
I have a full size PPQ and I wouldn’t trade it for anything! Great fun from a great company! I want a PDP for the other hip! Can’t go wrong with Walther…
Just bought one of these yesterday. I have to wait in the queue for approval from the powers that be, but I have never seen a bad review on this gun. I can't wait to fire it!
Yeah...i bought the PPQ for the same reason. The grip is perfect!
I love mine. You are right that it is light. I think the way the serrations are cut into the slide and the overall height of the slide gives the illusion that the gun would be heavy. Especially compared to a PPQ that has a more "traditional" or “softer” Walther slide look. Even with my light and red dot on it's still fairly light compared to my other pistols. I do wish they would include the slide plate in the box (at least for RMR mounts) but it didn’t take long to get it in, took 10mins to order and you get one free with the gun. This is by far the most ergo-friendly pistol I’ve shot in a while. Really reminded me of the VP9 when it first came out. The grip stippling and the slide cuts a very aggressive (intended more for gloved usage) but I’ve gotten use to it now and wish my other pistols were almost as aggressive. You will need to adjust your grip when racking the slide after a few times as it can eat your fingers or palm if not gripped correctly. That trigger is awesome, no mush on the take-up and a nice clean break at the end. Makes it very predictable.
"I do wish they would include the slide plate in the box (at least for RMR mounts) but it didn’t take long to get it in, took 10mins to order and you get one free with the gun"
Would you mind explaining your comment? So the gun does come with a plate or you have to order one? I couldn't tell by your comment.
Looking forward to the 5" Compact. Have the 5" PPQ and the PPS M2 LE.
Hope a PDP SC comes out and a Walther PDP 45.
I’ve been looking at one of these for awhile but only recently have been looking to purchase. The second I saw you had a review I knew it was going to be the only one I needed! Thank you!
Wow contact him (colion200)?
On point. The PDP Compact is my EDC. I love my PDP Full Size with the "5" Barrel. I'm looking for the Full Size with "4" Barrel now.
I carry the 5" Compact for my EDC. It is an amazing firearm!
I carry the 4in compact too. It's a chunky boi, but I make it work.
Is there a big difference between the 4inch and 5inch barrel? Accuracy and recoil? I can't decide between the 4.5 or the 5inch barrel. Please help me decide 🙏🏻
I just bought one a few hours ago kind of spendy, hope it was worth the money. I usually carry a Glock 22 so far I am impressed by the better grip over my glock and how light the PDP is over my glock.
Colion, I'm really grateful for all of your videos. Your widespread educational videos and passion have reeled me in ans kept me watching. I'm glad I have a channel like yours for when I finally get to a point in life to start buying firearms.
After years I decided to purchase a 9mm, so I spent time feeling out everyone one of them in the shop… this is the one I ended up with because as your said “it fits perfectly like a glove”. Amazing, so happy with this.
Just ordered mine, can’t wait till it arrives.
I love mine and it stands for performance duty pistol.
I’m sitting here wondering where we would be if you never discovered your love for firearms because we love your videos and I get an itch when I go without them
Traded In my Springfield xdm 9 for the PDP 5inch & I must say I am very impressed. I still edc my Glock 27 for concelabilitey but I wouldn’t mind trying it with the pdp!
Great video! Absolutely love the amount of sheer joy you have in simply shooting the PDP! I have the 4" Compact and have added the Holosun 507C. Just haven't had enough time (and ammo!) yet to run enough through it to make sure the dot is calibrated. As soon as that's done, it will likely become my EDC.
Walther is my Favorite!!!
Colion: Glock Sights are Trash!!
Me: Preach Brother Preach!!
And Yes The Trigger on the PDP is one of if not the Best Trigger on the Market!! - Source: My Itchy Trigger Finger... 😎 🤠
Bought a walther PPQ in 22LR in late 2019 just for something to plink around with. Haven't regretted that purchase once. the best part is at the same time i bought a bucket of 1,100 22LR rounds for $39.70. yes, 3.6 cents a round. who knew how things would go in just 9 months.
I remember when that much .22 ammo was $8.00...God, I'm old!
@@Britcarjunkie now we’d have to use our mortgage payment to dump even just a few hundred rounds down range now lol.
I’ve had my PDP for about 6 months now after my ppq m2, I absolutely love it and don’t really have anything to complain about
Wow contact him (colion200)?
Just picked this up as a first time gun owner. haven't had the chance to go out shooting yet, though I have plans already for that. feels great so far
I love my Walther PDP as well as My PPQ"s I already had the PPQ 9mm and 45 when I found a PPQ in 40 at an amazing price so I jumped on it. The PPQ 45 is one of the softest shooting and accurate polymer 45's I have used. I would take any of them to war. I must say that the Canik and H&K VP9 and VP40 which I also own all look like the same design team created them, lol. The PDP I only have about 250 rounds through without a issue and seems a bit more streamlined.
Got the 4 inch barrel full size PDP. I’m about 3 years into owning firearms (currently own 3) and the PDP is by far my favorite gun I’ve owned so far! Amazing trigger feel as well!
Wow contact him (colion200)?
This is my first handgun I’m taking it out today and after seeing this makes me even happier with my purchase thank you brother 💯💯
I have had the S&W M&P 9mm and i currently have a Walther PPX and its by far the best feel and firing, not to mention accurate, handgun I've fired without any upgrades.
The PDP is such a sexy gun. Those slide serrations are sooooo deeeeeeeeep
Funny, I just heard that last night 😏
@@m.watson708 Slide into the deeeeeeeeeeeep
Just ordered a new 4.5” PDP. Can’t wait for it to arrive and compare it to my G17,G5 MOS. I’ll test it first without a Red Dot, then probably buy one later. Really like the new Burris Fastfire 4.
Wow contact him (colion200)??
I just bought one yesterday and I absolutely love it. 100% my new EDC. Everything he said is 100% true, especially about the trigger and how light it is. I like the ergonomics more than any other handgun I have and I have A LOT.
I LOVE WALTHERS! They are easy on the eyes too!
I have the pdp pro and absolutely love it I have 7 glocks a vp9 and a p10 and none of the come close I bought it on a whim and am truly happy I did
😲My glock 19x feels Gucci (hollow) too after I had the slide serrated and one port hole on each side...even with the coyote rmr on top with the Lantac chrome finished suppressor ready barrel with suppressor height irons up top and 19 plus one ...yes I like 👍🏿 👌🏿 😀 😎 🙌🏾 😉
You are so right it is so oddly light. With it filled to capacity I had to check the mag to make sure that I had all 19 rounds in it. It's ridiculous how light the gun is
I have the pdp pro with Trijicon height sights, tr1hl light, orderd my optic plate, getting a Holosun carry EPS can’t wait 🤙
Showing your hits is the best part of the video
I'm diggin it looks like it comes back to zero naturally, and full size grip,I've turned down several pews due to my big hands
Just got mine. Not changing the bacstrap - the medium fits perfectly.
You nailed all the huge points that were selling points for me.
Rock on!
Wow contact him (colion200)?
I bought one and THEN watched the review. Lol. I'm very glad I did buy this pistol. I did get the PDP F series 3.5 inch and just got my concealed permit in the mail.
The grip over all with ergos and texture adds a lot to the futuristic look of this pistol.
Hey man, great videos, thanks for all the content!
That looks like a great shooting pistol. I had watched your other video on it, but video is the one that has shown how good of a shooter it actually is.
Time to do some research on it.
I trust Colion's experience on firearms...I bought a PDP only after watching Colion's video on this pistol...
I might be weird because I have , I would say, average sized hands but I really like how the large blackstrap feels on the pdp.
This is the first handgun I purchased and I’m very happy with my decision.
Thank you for the video!
Wow contact him (colion200)??
Watching this with my Full size 4.5 PDP in my hand that I picked up today. *unloaded*
Thinking about this for my first handgun. Pretty sure Colin just sold me on it. Great Review
Ive never understood the red dots on pistols. A good green laser and flashlight combo makes more sense to me. Intruder in your house in the dark seems more like a blind obstacle . A laser showing where youre bullet is going makes the most sense to me .but hey different strokes for different folks
Just bought one of the keep america tactical shirts for my state, and and excited to rep that thing around.
I noticed my grouping was alot tighter compared to me using the glock 17 Gen 5 as my main handgun, I'm in love with the grip, it feels like I have more control.
I bought the walther pps m2 back in February for everyday carry think I put almost 300 rounds thru it realize how much I loved the way it shoots a few weeks later it’s big brother was released. So I went and got the 4.in full-size 18 round much badder big bro I fell in love besides the sig p320 m17 I don’t think I’ve shot a gun as fast or capable then I put a hex dragonfly red dot on her things really started to pop off I could go on and on but bottom line walther hit it big with this one by far my favorite pistol in the collection
I have a Walther P99AS, and a PPQM1. If SHTF for reals, those two sidearms are on my "Bring With" list, and screw the extra weight.
Also it's called performance duty pistol not personal defense just FYI keep up the good work
I got to rent and try out a PDP at the gun range and my lord, the gun felt comfortable in my hands. Might not only buy the PDP next time I'm there, I might also trade in my Glock 17 as well.
I just got my ppq 45acp last week now I'm looking at this one.
My PPQ M1 is my fav, like you said trigger and ergonomics is great. Can't wait to get my full size PDP in OD green, hopefully comes in soon.
This makes my recently bought Gen5 Glocks appear obsolete. Now this has me contemplating a trade in to get out of my Glock rut.
@Chris G In 2007 I bought a new 1st gen S&W M&P in 40 S&W but before I shot 100 rounds ,noticed a cracked slide and sent it back. Later had several failures to feed Fiochi truncated fmj that the Glock 22 fed flawlessly but I otherwise think the M&P is debugged by now.
@Chris G You must've gotta Lemon because my gen 5 glock 17 I've owned since 2018, over 1000 rnds various ammo, (No cleaning yet, just lubed twice.) Is still %100 reliable.
Never shot one or even held one. Gonna check it out someday
Good ol Walther , a big time favorite , H&K , and Wilson Combat , I roll that way ! Stay Strong 💪
I love my PDP. I'll never go back to a Glock. I do have one criticism. Mags!!!! full-size 18 round magazines are non existent and have been for too long
#Truth
U can buy Canik mags and they fit the walther PDP and PPQ perfectly. Same mag mfg
Yes. Walther needs to make extended mags for plinking too.
Gotta love Walther pistols - especially the P99 and anything after...
I freaking love this gun!! Just looked at the compact and wow!! Most comfortable pistol I've ever had in my hands period!!
Which is the compact? IS the PDP the full size? Just learned about this model and it looks beautiful.
Dude you have insane control. 🧐👌👌
I was considering the Walther Q5 Match before I recently bought my CZ Shadow 2, but I just don't like striker fired pistols at all. I also don't particularly like plastic framed pistols either, so the Q5 Match Steel Frame at least fixes one of those issues for me, but the steel frame version costs even more than my S2, and not to mention the mags are way cheaper for my S2.
I even dry fired an expensive Zev OZ9 at the store when I bought my S2. I was eager to see how good a $1,700 striker fired pistol could be, and I wasn't impressed at all. To be fair though, I had just dry fired a CZ Tactical Sports Orange, that has about a 24 ounce single action pull. That might have had an effect 😆
The way this fits in the hand reminds me of the CZ-P10👌

You know it’s a good gun when bro reviews them 😂😂 💪🏼🔥🔥
Brother you representing for the brothers who are into guns…keep doing your thing …Peace!

Run the PDP with an RMR red dot outside with a bunch of orange clays randomly strewn fast as you can and it's a dream. You don't have to measure the distance just get the front of the gun anywhere on the target and trust the trigger. It's super annoying to not have anything you can really point to on the features or whatever except watching a clay turn to dust more often than not in the mountains on a beautiful day with the river behind you just makes you smile.
Only thing that it needs is the German paddle mag release and I would go back to Walther. It would be great if all manufacturers would make a version for defense to have deep slide cuts. Awesome review!
The best 9mm I've ever held and fired was a B&T Mk-II. Expensive gun but man it's like a luxury car of handguns. I'm a Walther fan, Walther makes great guns but the Mk-II takes the cake.
