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.

the grip is literally the most ergonomic form-fitting grip I've ever felt on a pistol

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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'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!

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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. 🙏

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

Neighbor has one. It broke, so he sent it in for repair, gets it back after a full year and it’s still broke.

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.

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.

Are you recommending the PDP Pro ? because that the one with the better trigger

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 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.

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😝🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😜🤑🤑🤑

Do you like your light? I'm trying to find a P-2 optic

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

I really like your review and setup. Can you please share what red dot and light you installed on your PDP 4" compact? Thanks!

Hello, great video. One question maybe I missed this in the video. Is it a full size grip with the 4 inch barrel?

I just bought a full size 5in and now I want to get a compact for carry.

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.

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 😂.

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 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!

what holster are you using? i want a open carry and a 3 oclock inside waist band

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

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.

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.

The F model feels even better. Didn't think that would be possible, but they done it.

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.

hi Maximus !! I jsut bought it and it's really great (I like also my CZ TS2) ! . I'm just struggling to set the holosun red dot. What do you advice to "set it" ? SHould I set it for 25m and it will work for shorter distance as well ?

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

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.

Great video! I found the TLR7A light, but what brand and model are your sights? Looks like Trijicon. Thanks!

Appeared to be more like 12 yards. Each time you walked to your target you took 12 steps. Good vid though. Just bought one and I can't wait to get some rounds through it.

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.

The only thing I wish they did was have the PDP with the Dynamic Triigger installed. I get why they did it because they marketed it as a duty gun. I have 1000 rounds with no issues.

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.

Agreed. This gun is solid for sure. That’s exactly how I feel about the staccato P. It’s like a cheat code gun.

That rapid fire 🔥 on that headshot..sold me

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.

Hi, how did you mount the silencer if there is no thread on the barrel?

I have two now… Probably gonna get an F-Series too…😢

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

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!

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!

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.

Great gun love my pdp I have also the ppq 45 what a great gun to

Has the grip the same feeling like the PPQ? I really enjoyed the latter.

question : I've heard nothing but good about the PDP - was it also made for hard use like the VP9 was - I'd rather a not quite as nice trigger (etc) but made to go through hell (like the MK 23) n know my great great great grandkids will still be served by it than something that will only last 1000 rds (exaggeration to make a point) but feels good n fun - so can the PDP really win in the end

What brand suppressor did you use and what brand of ear protection did you use?

Sounds like I just bought The Best and my first pistol. I’m excited to have fun with this‼️

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.

What Red dot and flash light are you using on this PDP in what color?

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

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 bought one without ever firing it. Just held it in my hand and said that was the one

I love my PDP, but I also love my Sig P320 AXG Equinox. Two of the most accurate and enjoyable guns to shoot ever!

what spring do you run it with for carry? 11, 13 or 15? planning to try the 11lbs. Thanks

What happened to your Zev? Do you like the PDP better than the Zev you had?

What optic & light do you have on your gun?

Lol, you’re title had me there for a sec. Great stuff.

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

Thank You for making a very good and fun review

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!

Walther is like HK's humble badass older brother.

If they would bring back the paddle mag release I'd get one.

What optic light comp is that?

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 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 😂😂

I bought the fs 5”. Got a sprinco recoil setup to tame the snappiness a little, x300 and a 508t. Dude. Pure sex. I really hope lokgrips makes their brass backstrap in large size tho. The medium straps are a touch small for me. Great gun

Hey man please let me know exactly what type of optic that is on it and laser. The setup and color is so clean!!!

What are your light and the red dot? They look great have perfect fit on your PDP.

Impressed. I need a red dot sight on my EDC now as my eyes are bad

Just my first gun... the PDP. What ammo do you recommend for Home defense?

To anyone who carries this as an EDC, is it too big? Or are you able to conceal it well?

What I hate about this gun is that they are not available in my state. Commifornia! 😷

Where can I find the extended mag and silencer in your video?

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.
