This is definitely going to be my first handgun. It comes with all the things you would find on a custom glock. But right out of the box and for a lower price. No modification necessary.

That was a very well done and thorough review. No annoying starter music, no pointless rambling. Very well spoken and to the point. I have one myself and the only thing you mentioned I didn't think of myself was your point on the plates, which I would agree with.

Very well done review. It covered all the relevant points on the PDP without extraneous chatter. Professional lighting and focus - very nice job. So many videos (elsewhere) are full of out-of-focus scenes, extra movements, out of frame, etc.

Best sidearm I’ve bought over the last 15yrs. Now have two.

Best review on youtube of this handgun. To the point and in-depth.

Just discovered your channel, and I must say it is very well done. I currently have a P07 and have previously carried a 1911 and M92 for Uncle Sam, but I've been looking at the PDP as my first striker sidearm. They shoot wonderfully out of the box and have an excellent heritage.

I just bought the pdp compact myself today. And freaking wow ive never loved a polymer striker fired handgun soooo much in my life this lil blaster is just fantastic simply put walther really out did themselves with this gun and man does it look just sick or what personally i like holosun6 507 c with both solid red dot and red ring and there self charging being solor powered

I loved your review of this firearm. Very well done and informative! I bought my PDP on a Saturday, ordered my optic plate when I got home and had it by Thursday. I personally had no issue with that and I was very happy with it! Great job! I'll be checking out many more reviews!

I have the PPQ and have been really pleased with it's performance. But I believe this PDP will be the gun that sets the standard for a lot of other manufacturers moving forward.

I own a full size PDP 4.5” and absolutely love it. Also own a PPSM2LE and quite happy with it as well. Walther does a great job, but I will be purchasing a compact PDP soon, too. I have shot several Glocks, you can have them. Shot several other brands as well, I’m sticking with Walther. Good job on the review, describes the compact version very well.

A very well articulated review…concise and accurate and much appteciated

I just shot one of these at a pistol drilling class. It was the instructor's. I knew this gun was truly different... it is NOTICEABLY lighter than all of my other 4" barreled 9mm pistols. Numbers wise, it shows a few ounces lighter- but you can feel it! It feels great in the hand..and it handles recoil quite well. I found it to be VERY accurate. I'm about to buy one- but I just bought a Beretta APX Centurion...and am having the same issue as everyone else right now- 9mm ammo is made of unobtanium. Scheels has this PDP Compact for $649. GREAT gun!

Having just shot this pistol, it is awesome. It took me a mag to figure it out but the very next mag, I was connecting with the plates. This is a great gun. Fortunately it’s owner didn’t care for it and I made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. I should have it next week. One thing said which is true, this gun does what a modified Glock 19 does out of the box. Awesome gun. Good job on the review.

After years of PPQ and Q5 I bought a PDP compact Pro SD 4.6.. The pro has an even better trigger. Not much, but noticeably, and well worth the extra money. By far the best pistol I ever owned, and in 50 years of shooting I owned many.

I liked this review, thorough and fair. I really like the PDP line up, compact with 5” barrel or full size, still undecided. And the VP9 lurks in the shadows.

Very nice review... waiting for my local shop to get them in stock.... definitely subscribed! Looking forward to more videos.

Nice review. I've seen most and yours is very clear and specific.

Great review!! Straight to the point. My next handgun for sure!

Beautiful. Looking pistol. To my eyes.

Very nice review and pistol it looks well thought out and it shoots very well. Great job 👌

Thanks for the review. I just purchased this for my first pistol. I don't think I'll be disappointed. Was going to go for the full size, but was suggested that since I'm eventually going for a concealed carry that compact would be more practical.

You do a very good comprehensive review and why I subscribed

I own the 4" (non-compact) version. And the gun is on another level above my Sig and Beretta. Trigger, accuracy and fit. I just ordered a Vortex Venom to attach to this bad boy.

Thank You for your always great reviews!

You definitely have the best reviews. Very informative. Subbed.

Excellent video as usual. I just picked up a PDP compact. I've cleaned and lubricated it but have yet to use it at the gun range. I've dried fired it and the trigger appears to be just slightly lighter that my M&P 2.0 . I love the M&P cause I can shoot well with it so I expect to do just as good or better with the PDP. I look forward to next week when I go to the gun range. Thanks for the detailed information on the PDP.

I just ordered the 4.5'' ,can't wait to try it at the range, also new to red dot,so this was my first choice ,im a revolver guy but when I sen this pistol ,I knew I had to have one,great review mate.

Don’t forget that free plate is US market specific. Rest of the world we have to buy a plate we want. The fact this gun arrives with no plates makes it (at least on Czech market) much cheaper than Glock 19/17 MOS even when ordering one specific plate when you decide to buy it. For someone like me who doesn’t run pistol optics the fact that there’s option for you later but it isn’t more expensive at the start makes it the Best bang for buck. Gonna buy this gun soon. Really looking forward to it.

I think I'm needing this PDP ...

I hope that you can have the opportunity to test the WALTHER F Series one of these days. Thanks for sharing quality review as always. Take care of yourself.

This has to be the most well done gun review by a margin. Buy your camera operator and light man a steak dinner.

You do good videos. I was just in the process of buying one of these about 1 hour ago but I didn't have my carry permit. I will probably go back tommorrow and buy the 4.5 inch model

Bought this pistol last weekend,haven't had the opportunity to fire it yet,I also will be going with the Vortex,have one on my FN FNX Tactical and am very happy with it

Great point about red dots and trying to find them quickly

Ordered a 4.5" today. Looking forward to it.

I shot for my first time in my life last week (I’m 47) and I’ve been searching for my first piece. I haven’t seen a lot of guns but this one looks sexy as all hell. Sucks it’s no good for NJ with 10 round max laws. I’m sure anyone who owns this is very happy. Great review!

Good shots!!! Thanks for the video

Great video. Just two comments: I don't know how it's possible, but my PDP sights was also adjusted too low from factory. Everything low from the center of target... The second comment - everything is also interchangable between PPQ and PDP...

5:56 ... there is a new reticle made by primary arms called the "vulcan" that has a dot in the middle and a very large ring that is outside the window of your dot.. so you can't even see the ring until you're canted to the side and you can't see the dot--- so the ring will let you know which direction the dot is and so there is no hunting. I think it's exclusive for the holosun, but its really an innovation that all dots on pistols should have.

Very nice gun. If I didn’t have a P07 and was in the market for a pistol, the PDP would be at the top of my list.

I just bought one. It’s my first handgun.

Great video very informative and thanks for sharing!

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 KZfaq 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 KZfaq) 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 (KZfaq) to ensure you get the latest up-to-date information on any weapon ....you paying for it. Might as well do your homework. - G

Walther sent me a second plate at no cost and even FedEx it. Received it in 4 days. Just call them. Excellent customer service.

Great review!

I was able to get one right away 4 in model...too snappy for me. I will stick with my PPQ 5M which for me, much better for precision shooting. Going to give to my brother in Florida

Very informative indeed. Kudos!

Hammer I caved in today. Got one on the way. Still keeping my Q4 though!

More people need to look into Not riding the re-set. But anyway, everyone seems to agree on the PDP and seems to have met everyones hopes or expectations.

As always, awesome video! Great info and quality video

Just leave the sights where they are. Aim for the Head, hit'em in the Chest. Aim for the Belly, Hit'em in the .............. Win! Win!

Great review...I am getting one

Thanks for sharing. I don't really understand why you would mount a Vortex Venom on a defensive pistol, when other red dots have the shake awake technology. Vortex red dots for carry pistols was yesteryears technology, but to each his own. The positive side is that you get to check each day if your your Vortex red dot is working when you turn it on each morning.

Great review. Thanks

Thanks for your knowledge.

Great content! Thank you. You can also use Canik magazines made by Mec-gar for both the 15 and 18 round mags. Just FYI.

The interchangeability/modularity thing has been this way since the P99 and PPQ. The only outlier is the steel frame.

Mec-Gar makes their magazines, they are magnificent.

Good job! Thanks a lot.

Thanks buddy enjoyed the video

Great review. Had to sub.

beautiful gun and nice review

That Slide Looks Huge

I was having issues with 'finding' my red dot when I first started using one for a pistol. I keep seeing (and trying the technics) the videos on how to draw and present to always find your reddot. It still wasn't consistant for me, then I tried ignoring that it has a reddot and presenting as I aways have with irons. Anyway, it worked for me, I bring it up as iron, but as soon as the dot shows up when presenting I switch my focus from lining up my irons with the target to the red dot on the target. It has helped me so maybe it will help someone else.

That's funny I just came from Justin Opinion's review of the PDP and he said the sight gap on the PPQ was too wide and the PDP gap was perfect. To each their own I guess.

Like the sig m2022 fits me well shoots great,like it better than all the other sigs including the legion

What a sexy pistol, I have the 4.5 and NEED the compact!

I like the Walther ppx40cal m1 and the rest of the family 😊

Excellent review. My husband is looking to purchase one,he's had no luck. He's still looking 😁. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Would love a video showing how to switch the mag release to a lefty position.

Great review. This gun is really similar to the sig p320x compact. Which I already have. Otherwise, I'd purchase the pdp.

Great groupings as usual.

I enjoyed this thank you

Great pistol!

Wishing for other calibers from this platform.

Great tech review but would have liked 2 C more shooting. I love Walthers! Maybe getting two.The 4" for EDC & 5" for competition. Also want 2.C a 1000 round review. Thx & Best Regards from Phx., Az. Robert P.S. daily high temps here have been averaging about 112 with HIGH humidity. Like being in a sweat box! LOL.

I have the full size pdp love this gun

I own the PPQ my best gun love it.❤

The reason it doesn't come with plates out of box is because they're having C&H as their OEM; they're currently listed at $70 on their site.

Excellent review. A true professional! I hope Walther makes the PDP in same size as the GLOCK 43x.

So refreshing to FINALLY hear someone PROPERLY pronounce Walther! Might be a small petty thing to some, but I look at it like this: if you can't even pronounce your guns manufacturer correctly, you probably shouldn't be walking around with a firearm LOL. Anyway, just bought a PDP Compact Saturday and will be adding it to my card Monday (communist New York makes you have a license and register every handgun and 10-round mags and...well, NY sucks). I couldn't believe this was in stock at my local gun shop, but living in a small town has its advantages! They also usually have ammo too! I'll be taking it to the range on Tuesday (closed Mondays unfortunately), can't wait to shoot this! I have a PPQ SC and absolutely love it, but fell in love with this before even seeing it in person. I looked at it and drooled...then left with my ammo...then called and put a deposit on it, and an hour later went in and paid it off. Wife's not completely thrilled but she knows she's safe with me around LOL. I overpaid ($679) but they had it and I wanted it. So my mags have to be pinned to be NY compliant, so the only drawback I see is acquiring additional mags...is anyone aware of anyone who sells pinned mags for communist states like NY, MA and CA? Or would I have to buy 15-rounders and have then shipped to an FFL for modification? Not a huge deal, would just be more convenient at the range to not have to load every second mag, it's not going to be my EDC so that's not a concern (my EDC is a Sig P365). Thanks for the review, sweet gun, can't wait til...later today, hey it's after midnight so I get to pick it up today. 😁

IDK if it's just me but that is one sexy gun . I'm going to have to pick one up .

The PPQ was easy to accidentally double tap too. I can’t imagine a better trigger than the PPQ but I haven’t got my hands on a PDP yet.

Unless the holster is leather it probably won't fit any ppq holster the slide is thick . I believe the sight and plate on the slide are Polymer. I don't like the ledge under the mag release On occasion when doing a quick mag change the ledge hinders me from pressing it completely. In my opinion the trigger on some of the caniks and cz p10 series might be better. I do like the serrations , the texture on the grip, good ergonomics and the overall look

The PDP slide is too wide to fit any of the PPQ holsters I have. (Except an Uncle Mike's style.) And at this time, there aren't as many holster makers offering a kydex for the PDP.

I love my glock 19 but this walther is thicker. Is it thicker in the grip or just thicker because of the abi slide stop?

Love the gun nice video man thanks this gun is hands down better than a Glock I'm not big on accessories

i wish they would give the dealers the plates so they can just give you one when you buy it

In your opinion would you say this would be a good concealed carry option?

Thank you! I was wondering if the PPQ mags can fit inside. Waiting for release for my pdp to take home

Great review. Any word on the Vortex Venom optics plate yet?

I have the compact and the full size. The PDP is a great firearm.

Hey man great content which targets are those?

I want this so bad

Guess what it also runs with Sig 226 and Canick magizine

Nice gun but I'm still shopping around for a P99

Can you recommend a holster? I can't find a holster at all for the full size 5 inch... Im so annoyed! I'll take anything at this point.

Is the plate for the PDP compatible with the plate for the PPQ in regards to the red dot?

Sure looks nice this one.

Where the video with the red dot on the PDP? I’d like your thoughts.
