What’s better than a Walther pistol? Two Walther pistols.

You are the Bob Ross of firearms reviews and that’s awesome

Pumped that I just ordered my first Walther! The PDP!!!!

I'd be stoked to pick up a PPQ for a few bucks cheaper because of the release of the PDP.

Very nice review. I appreciate the fact that you aren't overly animated and can give a calm review of two excellent handguns. You have a new subscriber.

Thanks for the comparison, Justin. Exactly what I was looking for.

Hot dang. Been waiting on this. Eating breakfast while drinking coffee with a Justin review. Great stuff 🇺🇸👍😁

The walther PPQ sights were probably the easiest sights I've ever had to change on a handgun... great comparison review!

First video I've seen by you, and I appreciate your pleasant thoroughness.

A couple of details I neglect to mention in the video: PDP has more checkering on the mag release; and the extractor on the PDP is much shorter, but still external.

Always appreciate this reviewer's willingness to video record himself firing round after round after round.

I have a PPQM1 and love the trigger guard mag release. I wish they would make more like that

Great video! Love the detailed video work of the guns and explanations of differences.

Thank you for responding and explaining mathematical fractions. I am pleased that you still use classical mathematics. My problem was one of visual perception. I perceived that the trigger pull device was showing percentages of a pound (4.15). I do appreciate and enjoy your informative firearm videos. It is enjoyable watching the firearms capabilities being demonstrated on the range.I own the first model PPQ with the paddle magazine release. I have never fired another Striker fire hand gun that could match its trigger.pull. I am impressed to see Walther develop a pistol that has an even lighter trigger.

Very well done comparison. I have the PPQ in 40S&W and 45ACP and love them. I wanted the 9mm but got an amazing deal on the 40S&W model with 5 magazines. Keep up the great videos. I subscribed and have been binge watching your channel.

PPQ with the paddle release and arched slide is just all I would want - Great video review, thanks!

Thank you for an outstanding comparison review, Justin! All aspects of both guns clearly discussed. Superb photography with all details well lit and in focus!

Soon to be first time gun owner. This has been very helpful with my purchase research! Can’t wait to get out there and get involved in my new sport!

Held and played around with a PDP today at my local gun store and it was amazing. Easy for me to like as an HK VP9 user.

Great video! Answered a lot of questions I had... With this new model, Walther at least addressed the *only* complaint I had with the PPQ: *Too much air in the sights* Unfortunately, it's with the wrong gun-- Tbh, as others have said, I prefer the more elegant (well stated by you, btw) PPQ...

This is EXACTLY the review I have been looking for that compares these two guns. Thank you! Now, the search for an in-stock PDP begins.... 😂 You have yourself a new subscriber.

Great video. Very throughout. Thanks for doing it!

This video is excellent quality, and the comparison is spot on. 👍🏾

Best video on Walther I’ve seen. (New sub) I have a Q5 SF and I love it but to big for EDC. I’m trying to secure a PDP 4” on gunbroker but have lost last 2 auctions. I have a set limit that I can’t go over but that is probably one of the biggest things I love about Walther is the quality you get for the price you pay vs. most manufacturers. Thank you again. Have a great day.

I love the indepth information you provide on your videos. I was curious about some of the interchangeability. Awesome work! Thanks 👍👍👍

I have the ppq m2,i really enjoy shooting it. Thank you for this comparison and thorough look at both. I'm glad things do have some compatibility.i might look into getting a pdp slide.

Love my EDC PPQ subcompact. Trigger is awesome! Not gonna lie..loving the ergonomics on the PDP too!! Any Walther you choose is a great pick!

Really well done review. Keep it up. Make us some more!!

Justin is a good Gun-tuber,he has very special Opinions!

Ive always been on the fence about the PPQ , I know its a great handgun but it just never won me over so I opted to carry the CZ-P10C and I loved it and it also has a fantastic out of the box trigger for a striker handgun . I actually prefered the P-10C's trigger , its ergonomics and low bore axis over the PPQ . But then I saw the Walther PDP at my local FFL and was immediatly drawn to it . I asked if I could see it and if they mind if I dry fired the trigger . The very first thing about the PDP that really stood out for me is that excellent new grip texture I really like what Walther has done with the grip and it looks good at first glance the PDP has that custom stipple job look , I really like the design of the slide its really easy to rack the slide from anywhere . The trigger is really nice but not mind blowing like many people hype it up to be . The PDP's trigger is more on par to CZ's P10 trigger now , just my opinion . I really like that Walther opted to make the PDP compatible with Glock aftermarket sights which is a huge plus in my book . Aquiring extra Magazines , after market barrels , extended mag releases etc etc , are going to be convient conserding the cross compatibility the PDP had to the PPQ , good thinkinh Walther . Idk its been over 8 years since Ive bought anything from Walther but after I handled the PDP I just had to have it . I think its going to be my new cc

Like all your head 2 head comparisons, quality and very informative videos. I personally have to give credit to Walther for listening to its customers and paying attention to where the market is going. I like how the PDP looks and the upgrades that it has over the PPQ. Looks like a mix between the PPQ & VP9.

Great video - learned a few things and enjoyed your presentation, I will go for the new PDP although I've enjoyed my PDQ for awhile now.

Nice review the most honest out of all of them.

Great review as always ! I have the PPQ M2, to me the major advantage of the PDP is the red dot sight option, it's a good feature for people with "old eyes" like me. Apart from that, I would think the two are basically the same gun, both are excellent firearms for the price in my opinion. If I am on the market to choose between the two, I certainly would go for the PDP.

Great review. If I didn't already own the PPQ, or if I committed to a red dot, I would definitely purchase the PDP.

Thank you for this. Exactly the information I was looking for. Great stuff

Another great video from this channel!

Much thanks for the comparison, I've been wondering about that.

Good review, thank you Sir!

Thank you, sir. I went to my local Cabelas in League City TX as Walther told me that they would have the PDP on display at "select Cabelas stores," but they did not have it. Hope to see and possibly buy one once they are available.

Great unbiased comparison. Thank you.

Yes, you're right about the wide window in the rear sight, my P99 is the same, need to change out for sure👍

Thank you for the videos brother! I have to have this pistol!!! I love the full size 4.5", with my big hands.

Phenomenal comparison. No nonsense, side by side review.

Awesome footage and Review 👍🗽🇺🇲 THANK YOU THE VERMONTER

Good comparison. Been a little while since I caught one of your videos - looks like you're going for the retired John Wick look, I dig it!

Great review and very detailed. Subscribed

Nice that you verified my theory of interchangeable slides, I figured that would be the case. I’m so glad Walther didn’t screw with the internals much because this is already a very proven and reliable design so I’m glad they kept what we love about the PPQ and just took care of a few common complaints people had (rear sight stays in place with optic, more aggressive grip texture). Gotta say I still like the looks of the PPQ better although the PDP definitely has that more aggressive look. Either way, I need a 4” compact gun to compliment my Q5 I think. If I can find a ppq for cheap now this might be the answer. Also thank goodness they didn’t change the magazine I love magazine compatibility.

Thank you for making this details oriented video. Enjoyed every minute of it, and it fulfilled my curiosity about the difference between PPQ and PDP. Honestly, from what I've learned, the biggest difference between these two models is the red dot ready feature, and that's a $100 price difference associated with. I probably will cease my desire to change my PPQ M2 to PDP, since the parts are also interchangeable between these two models...

Just bought the pdp. I saw so many good reviews and my lgs got some in so I decided to get one and I am pleased. I also have the pps m2. I must say I’m a walther fan.

The PDP looks like a nice and necessary evolution of the PPQ. Good job, Walther. I love my PPQs and PPS. I'm not in the market for another compact/medium carry gun (currently carry a P10c or Walther .45 or CZ P01/PCR) but if I was this would likely be it. It'd also likely be the next polymer framed gun I'd buy if I was going that way. I like the aesthetics of the PPQ better tho. I admit I was hoping for a double stack PPS replacement or a fun DA/SA hammer fired gun or most of all a steel frame .45. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I want the Compact PDP with the FS 4.5" barrel and slide. Such a gorgeous looking pistol and knowing Walther the trigger is undoubtedly amazing. Great review mate, thanks for the great breakdown and content as always.

Original P99 already had it all and more, DA, SA, no external safety, decocker button , striker indicator, super short reset and nice triger.

I stopped carrying Glock a few years ago after 25 years of service. I carry a PPS m2 & Q5 when I need more rounds. Love my Walthers.

“At first glance you might wonder why there is a new model if they’re so similar.” Sir, I’ve been carrying a Glock for years - I promise you I’ve never wondered that lol.

I love the tactihippi look. Big fan of your channel.

Nice review! I'm going to buy some Talon grips now for my PPQ'S!

I really like the high resolution, close-up shots.

The Walther pdp is awesome. The slide is smooth, the takedown is probable the best takedown out of any pistols out there, the magazine release is nice and reliable, the mags drop out perfectly every time, and there’s no scratches on them. Even after a few range trips. My sig p365 just had to use the mags once to get them all scratched up. And I didn’t even drop them. It’s not a big deal tho, but still. Accuracy is on point. Grip texture is awesome, and it gives you a lot of real estate for holding it in place. You can see at the end of the slide on the left side. On top of the rail, you got that little plastic ledge. It’s for your left thumb to hold the gun down while shooting. Muzzle flip is pretty much eliminated that way. Also the angle of the grip is perfect. Presenting the gun gives me almost 100% perfect sight alignment every time. The slide lock release is perfect. Nice and long. I believe that the Walther pdp is the best pistol out there. I personally don’t own one. My dad does. I own a glock 19 gen 3 and a glock 48 mos. great guns, and I love them. But shooting the Walther is just perfect. And it’s not even hard to carry. I carry on my hip, and granted, just wearing a t-shirt won’t cut it this way. But with an over shirt it’s perfect. The clip & carry holster for it from Amazon is perfect. For like $30, you can’t get better. I believe it also accommodates for a red dot. I have that problem with my 48 mos. I just put a red dot on it, and my holster won’t fit anymore. I paid like $50 for it. I could cut it a bit, but still. I’d rather just buy a different holster that also accommodates for a light. Sorry for the rant. If you get a Walther pdp and a walther pps m2, that would be the best duo in my opinion. You could probably go for a sig p320 xcompact or xcarry along side the p365 sas, and that would probably be the perfect duo, but you can’t go wrong with the Walthers. They just look right.

The airspace difference in the rear sight is noticeable in your grouping. The lateral movement is greater with the PPQ compared to the PDP. It is not 100% but can be observed in the grouping. Overall, glad to know that Walther is do product improvement and not remaining static.

Nice review. Thank you

Yes Sir Justin. You did the job Bro. Thanks & Carry On !

Good comparison. Thanks

Proud new owner of a PDP 9MM Walther.its a beautiful handgun

Great content! Subbed 👍 I am set on 40S&W for my next firearm and was thinking of a HK V40 but now I’m thinking the PDP 🤔 thanks for the in-depth look 👀

I appreciate the fact you use a lavalier mic with a wind sock. Little things like that really make the difference.

I have owned the PPQ M1 for years but just got the PDP Compact just for adding a red dot. Awesome gun.

Recently bought a PPQ Q4 Tac, and then the PDP came out. I thought it was only me thinking “changing the gun for the new one is not worth the hassle”. To sum it up: THANK YOU, SIR!

You really can't go wrong with the Walther P99 PPQ PDP all are top grade combat pistols

I already have 3 PPQM2s. Not about to change over to the PDP for the following reason. Golf clubs. Every year golf club makers come out with the newest greatest clubs ever that will make your game even better. The only thing that improves a game is lessons and practice not new clubs. The PPQ is going to do anything you need it to provided your up to the task. For that matter so is the Taurus G3. It's the Indian not the arrow.

Found you from this video. Liked and subscribed! Thanks!

It is awesome that Walther listened to the customer and rectified every single "drawback" on the PPQ. The PDP has a flattened slide, deep and extruding slide serrations for easier slide racking and a better grip texture. Most important, the PDP keeps the "iron sights" when using a red dot and it takes Glock sites. In my eyes and experience, the PDP is the very best polymer handgun on the market:

First pistol I ever owned was a PPQ .45. The first pistol I ever bought/carried was the Q4 Tact. Found my next pistol to get.

Starting to look like a Biker there Justin ! Lol Always enjoy your reviews !

your comment about the irons makes me think about my problems with my P365 XL. The front post is too fat though the nice high-vis dot is fast to acquire. I started off my firearms journey with the PPQ though, so I have learned theirs well compared to the blocky SIG ones.

I played around with a PDP and a Q4. Ended up ordering the Q4 because I love the steel frame version of the ppq. I loved the PDP with the 4.5 barrel but it felt unusually light.

Great review Justin. I own the PPQ M2, a Sig P226 MK 25, a Sig P320 X-5 Legion, a Glock 19 Gen 5 and Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum. The PPQ has the best trigger of all, followed by the Sig P320. I do love the DA/SA on my P226 and use that as my primary self defense gun. The PPG is ergonomically the best gun for my small hands (hold the comments, I have size 11 feet) and the overall feel of the PPQ makes it one of my overall favorites. I am not a Glock lover and the PPQ outshines the Glock 19 by far. Sorry Glock lovers.

I was able to handle the PPQ and the PDP back to back. The PPQ felt way nicer in my hand and gripping the gun felt better with the PPQ.

The PPQ sights are insanely easy to change... there arent nearly as many options; but changing rear and front sights on the PPQ requires simple tools, no sight pusher required. Just FYI.

Great review!

Wanted the long slide ppq but it was close to 700 bought the pdp 5” compact on grabagun for 498 three months ago it the first version but still I’m so impressed I shoot it so well by my scone mag I already outshot my glocks and rugers that I have much more practice with.

Love my PPQs , will probably never sell. 22LR is awesome fun too. Thanks for the video

Great review! And I noticed I was unsubscribed from you and other gun channels.

I have the same ll bean sweater. Thanks for the review.

Great video❗️🔥 Thank you for this review

Thanks so much for this

And here I keep hoping that Walther's new pistol would have a slightly lower bore axis. Instead they essentially do a PPQ M3 with a more square slide for a better optics mounting platform and an extended grip option.

Good morning. Awesome video was thinking I really want this new gun but is it really different. Thank you for justifying my next purchase. Great video as usual.

+The most important difference is the PDP is OPTIC READY. If I'd known that, I would have gotten a PDP to replace my PPQ SC instead of an optic ready S&W MP 2.0 compact. Too late now.

I have a PPQ45 as my EDC in my IWB holster. When they come out with a PDP45, I might consider it. Looks nice and grippy all around though.

Out of all the fullsize pistols that I tried out the Walther PDP felt the best to me. So once I get my Taurus G3C and my Smith &wesson m&p shield plus. I will be saving up to purchase the Walther PDP.

Super show thanks

Another great video. My PPQ shoots upper right off hand. I bought a Ransom Rest I hope it helps.

I actully think my OR p10c has a better trigger then my ppq slightly but better none the less im excited to get ahold of this pdp great job justin. Thanks

Like #437, here! Nice job, Justin. Now I want a Walther pistol, LOL.

I recently picked up this pistol and surprisingly the best 5 round groups I got with it at 10 yards were with Fiocchi 115 Gr JHP, it was .67 inches. Remington UMC G&W box gave me a 1 inch group and Winchester White Box gave me a 1 1/2 inch group. Go figure the cheapest ammo shot the best out of my pistol. And all of them have good expansion and penetration out of 4 inch barrels.

I love the back of the PDP. Very simple. I have a Sig 320 and my one major dislike of the 320 is the back is to busy looking.

A few years back I was at a range demo. had the chance to shoot ( 10 rounds each) Walther PPQ M2, HK VP9, and then ran to the Sig Booth to do the P320 full size. Trigger wise the PPQ definitely blew the Sig & HK away. If I had to choose a firearm other than my Glocks. I think i gave a slight edge tp the Sig. But this PDP and having the ability for an Optic. Might someday having me buy the PDP!

Thank you Walther for making a pistol for those of us who grip a pistol the RIGHT WAY. I'll have to check this one out.
