I like that the CEO actually knows his product and is willing to personally help market it and not just sit behind a desk. Touché sir.

Walther is significantly underrated in the United States, despite competitive pricing and good quality out of the box.

It’s never wrong to offer too much respect. BK appreciated that. And if I had to guess, this has been part of James’ success over the years. And much needed decency these days. Bravo.

That was one of the best product showcases I’ve seen. The fact a CEO came humble and authentic was enough to make me want to purchase a PDP. That man is world class.

The Walther PDP series are super underrated. Great ergos and trigger. Thank you TFBTV for showcasing this beauty.

Refreshing to hear a CEO say "nothing gets better as it gets higher" in regards to mounting things on slides.

The PDP series is absolutely world class...and he said the majic word...intuitive..your equipment shouldn't be thought provoking

Walthers CEO is a cool dude

Jimmy "Big Time" Reeves, mixing it up with the freakin' CEO of a major gun company. That's awesome. And that pistol looked great. Will definitely have to try it when I get to a free state.

Walthers are awesome just like their CEO

Huge respect for BK

I’ve been really watching Walthers product line lately, and I continue to be impressed with their offerings. Great to see the CEO at a show talking about the product. Thanks James!

Walther has the best striker fired trigger of any gun. Period. Their only competition there is Canik with... their Walther copy. And the PDP is not just a great product, but one where they continually listen to customer feedback. The V2 optics system is better than V1, and now it's direct milled. I only wish it had less recoil. Between the slide weight, short and heavy spring, it feels like a .40 pistol in 9mm.

Thanks, as a Walther fanboy, it’s nice to see the CEO and how he interacts with the community

Walther arguably makes the best pistols in the world. Totally underrated outside of Europe.

having a direct build pistol for the aimpoint acro is something really cool

Hey BK if you are reading the comments I'd like to let you know I've carried a PPS M1 since 2010. Aside from being an easily concealable gun it is built like a tank and fun to shoot. Keep the great guns coming!

Wow! That was a cool interview!

I recently shot the PDP Pro SD Compact and wow it’s amazing

As the proud owner of a polymer PDP 4" Compact I loved this interview! Great job all around!

James, as usual I'm impressed with how seamlessly you go from frat boy jackass to a well-behaved gentleman I wouldn't be embarrassed to go to a good restaurant with.

Looks amazing!

a great very interesting neat delicious video and pistol Mr James.have a good one and keep these videos flowing.

I bought the PDP Pro compact SD a few months ago. Slapped on a Comp, upgraded guide rod and spring, green dot and a tactical light. I hardly touch my other pistols now.

*I am a proud Walther PDP plataform fan!*

Crazy it took them 2+ years to come out with this model. The last thing they need to correct is the polymer guide rod and 18lb spring. SS Guide rod and 15lbs, and this thing may actually be the best out of the box polymer pistol on the market. It's about time Walther.

I just ordered one, and I'm excited to give it a try.

This was honestly the most impressive pistol I shot at shot show range day. Between the ergos and shootability of the gun I felt like it was hard to miss. They were also one of the only exhibitors that gave me more than 5 rounds in a magazine so I could actually get a good feel for the gun. I will be picking one up soon for sure!

Great interview by the James and the CEO. I’m going to buy one- just need to decide if I want the full size or compact. Thank you for the great video!

The Walther's I have owned, no complaints. My favorite trigger out of the box.

Well done!

Picked mine up on my way in to work today.

That’s a cool CEO

James, as always you are the consummate professional.

I’ve been on the fence about getting a PDP for weeks now but this video pushed me over the edge! Just brought home a PDP Compact. I want to support a company like Walther and a CEO like “Bernie”!

I've never had a chance to use a Walther, but they sure have some beautiful guns.

Walther is WAY too slept on this day and age… what an absolute banger for the price. This will be my next purchase.

Thank God they've gone direct mount. This is a great move forward.

Very good firearm at a very good price point. Well done 👍

The red and blue PDP on the stand look very Halo.

Eagerly awaiting my PDP pro compact

wish they would make it with the euro mag release wippy thingy too

My PDP may be my fav gun. Love it. A little snappy but great gun.

Very interesting. Thanks for the video. Can I request a visit to Tanfoglio?

My first pistol was the PPX the month after I turned 21, followed by a PPS and PK380. Then I got the PPQ match and spent nearly 400 more dollars on magwell, plate, baseplates, night sites, and metal trigger. Now I just got the PDP pro with all that, and a threaded barrel, for 150$ more than the base model. IMO best pistol you can buy under 1000$

BK 👑

Ordered one as soon as I could! Should be shipping today. Unfortunately it’s LEO only but $999 for this is an excellent deal.

Ordered mine last night

Walther Gang eating good these last few years

Now if only they could get that trigger in stock on their website! Been waiting to long to get my hands on one.

That is a good CEO

Love Nürnberg, my wife was from there!

I love my PDP SD Pro but so happy there is finally a non-threaded version. Almost got the pro compact last week. Going to wait for these to come out. Don't need a threaded barrel on the compact.

Easily the finest striker fired trigger I’ve ever shot. Nothing else is close.

Please do a video on the simunition/utm and red gun on display. There is no info on their LEO site yet

I almost bought the PDP Pro compact a few days ago. Its a good thing I waited. He didnt say whether or not it would release in the US or when.

Nice

I liked the PDP so much I bought a second one.

Meanwhile, where is a interview with the CEO of Heckler & Koch ❓ This is great. Company pride, continuation of Walther heritage, tradition. This is a quality product. Like Mercedes Benz. 👍👍👍👍👍

Just got the PDP pro. Nice gun and I choosed it over the sfp9. However, a few things should be mentioned: It comes with plastic sights. Not suppressor height or cowitness ready. The cover of the threaded barrel does not hold well and you need to check it often. In Gernany it does not include a free optics plate. The trigger needs to be pulled for dissassembly. Polymer guide rod. Mmh, well I see quite a bit of potential for improvement. Also: pls give us an option with paddle release. 🙋🏻‍♀️

Does the PDP ACRO Full size Professional allow other red dots to be installed with Walther plates? I am asking because I have read that the slide is "direct milled". If at some time I wanted to replace the ACRO, is it possible?

What makes this version any different from the PDP SD PRO? Just minus the threadded barrel?

Man, if they would offer the PDP with the paddle mag release it would be my 100% everything gun. Guess ill stick to my P99 still. Too bad its discontinued. I just cant shake the love of the paddle mag release after trying it.

Veeeery nice. Gun is ok too

Am I correct when I saw that the Pro trigger looks slightly different than the ones we know of here in the US?

Ergonomics ❗ Walther gets IT. Look at their heritage with .22 competition target pistols from the 1960's onward. Look at their target grip designs. The 9mm pistol market is flooded with flashy, drilled, milled colored slides but lack Walthers attention to ERGONOMICS. I wished this interview continued longer in a quiet factory setting. 👍👍👍👍👍

The PDP Pro that I have still needs a plate between the RDO and the frame. Is this a new version of the PDP Pro ???

When is this going to be available in USA?

Right when the popup for the shirt appears I posted one asking about it.

...if you csn...visit the "old city"..I spend many Saturdays walking around it 50 plus years ago, when I was stationed in Illesheim..about 30 miles away

I have never put one through the paces but, I have a cz shadow 2 and I can say one thing I prefer the feel of the Walther.

Can you show the euro version of the new Rotex cans?

I'd like to have it!

Mantis X or training lasers are great for dryfire. Even have a mag that resets trigger so you DON'T KEEP RACKING SLIDE & integrating that potential habit during a REAL SITUATION.. Great video!!!💯

I just purchased the PD380 as my first Walther. I have 250 rounds through it and kinda like it. It is far from perfect but acceptable. 2 failures in 250 rounds. 1 failure to feed, 1 failure to go into battery.

We’re not worthy, we’re not worthy! 😂 🙌

Not too keen on the "LE Only" aspect of this model. Frankly any company that does "LE Only" stuff goes down a notch in my book. Which is unfortunate because I have loved my 4.5" PDP from the day I brought it home. Hoping this is only temporary and the direct-milled ACRO PDP will be released to the teeming masses in the near future. I, a dirty, lowly civilian, would absolutely buy one.

Like my PDP Pro SC but I would like it better with a lower bore axis and less slide mss.

Looking for a duty style pistol it’s between a P10F, PDP, or echelon

What’s the difference between this one and the PDP Pro SD

I wonder if those are the night sights they offer through the law enforcement sales.

I loved the PPQ and the PDP, I wish the accessory game was better.

Is this model only available to law enforcement or can a regular civilian buy this package?

When is Walther coming to California?

Thanks, BK, for confirmed the name is pronounced just as it's spelled, not "Walter," as I've heard other GunTubers say. I wasn't sure because it is a German name and I don't speak German.

Whoa!

Pdp subcompact please

Where walther double stack micro tho?

Great interview James ! Cool to get the CEO instead of some dopey rep at shot show

What's the SKU for the direct mount ACRO and steel sight version?

Walther makes some really nice guns. I don't know why they don't get more love in the USA than what they do.

I fucking love Walther products. I feel the PPQ SC is the most under rated carry gun of all time.

i have one, its kinda lack luster. the trigger and ergos are great but other than that its basically a worse glock17/19 with a huge fat and tall slide that snaps like a .40 cal with the punch of 9mm. the best way to describe it is a gun with an identity crisis. is it a ccw? is it a duty gun? is it a comp gun? its none and all of those wrapped together and does everything very OK for $800. you can get a police trade in glock19, a red dot, and an upgraded trigger for about the same price, and you'd have a flatter shooting gun at the end of the day. for an $800 gun id expect it to be better than a glock19 with $350 worth of upgrades. the first thing i did with mine was take off the stupid flared magwell that doesnt assist in anything other than make the gun more chunky. and on top of all that mine had chunks broken out of the feed ramp after about 60 rounds, waiting on them to send it back to me so i can sell it and buy another glock. if youre in the market for a 9mm duty gun avoid this one.

NGL this thing looks like one of those meme level modified Hi Points in the thumbnail

But when are we going to see this in the US?

now if only they would provide steel sights on their 1700-1900 dollar steel frame guns...

I have a pro, a compact, and Walther makes great products. HOWEVER… they would make BBBBAAAANNNKKKK if they made a micro 9 PDP. Cash in hand right now

So is this the same pdp pro but with direct mount? Can we get it?

So are they actually making this version? The Pro models have the cheap, plastic, non-cowitnessable sights, and no direct mount option. This is the way the $800 pro should have come out of the box.

This is the same as the PDP SD Pro? Im looking at the website and the similar gum is called just a Walther pdp
