Walther PDP

[smythe012]

I finally got my optic plate and HS507C mounted. I can't wait to get it zeroed and run some rounds through it.

How is the balance on that? The first pic you posted I thought it looked goofy, but this picture changed my mind.

It seemed a little front heavy until I got the optic mounted. Now, the balance seems fine. I'm still not convinced it is not redundant to my Q5 Match. But, it feels really good in my hand.

I'm taking them both out to shoot side by side this weekend. I'll let you know.

My Compact PDP arrived on Friday. We shot it on Saturday putting about 100 rounds through it. The trigger felt equal to if not better than the PPQ I had before. It didn't seem any snappier than my VP9, which is heavier.

The grip is the big improvement over the PPQ. The grip kind of grabs your hand back, whereas the PPQ felt smoother like it didn't have enough texture.

I still need to order the mounting plate and figure out what holster will fit the gun. I highly recommend the Walther PDP.

I just ordered one of these:

Walther PDP 4" | OWB COVERT Kydex Holster | QUICKSHIP | C&G Holsters

Step up your carry game with C&G Holsters' OWB COVERT Kydex Holster, blending stealth and accessibility for all-day comfort and reliability.

Hoping I like it.

That's the one I ordered, seems to work well so far, keeps it pretty snug.

The plate is easy to order online just need your serial number. I agree about the grip.

Thanks Drillsgt, I ordered mine on Monday.

This pistol is dripping with the fact that they’ve been listening to their loyal customers the past decade…for instance, the button mag release(thank you lord), and the deep slide serrations. They didn’t depart far from the PPQ, only small upgrades. Love it. It’s a dream to shoot.

Got the holster in today and have been wearing it for the last couple of hours. It feels just fine. It doesn't conceal as well as my P10C in a GunfightersINC Ronin OWB, but it seems like it's working out fine.

Mine seems to be working okay too, I like a holster brand called Statureman as they seem very close to the original Raven's before they went all weird with their holsters.

Holy thread resurrection, Batman! I had issues finding a decent holster for the 5". I ordered one from Upper Hand Holsters.

Love the pattern and color! Looks great!

Good review. Thanks for posting.

First time to the range with the new Walther, I shot my new PDP side-by-side with my Q5 Match and initially, I shot consistently better groups with the Q5.

Last weekend while participating in the Revere's Riders MBMO event, I had the opportunity to put 200 rounds thru the new PDP. My groups tightened up quite a bit as the day progressed. In fact, it shot well enough that I didn't even get the Q5 out of it's case. I even won a skills challenge with the PDP.

For the "full sized" PDP owners, might want to check your 18 round magazines out if they have the Black or Orange followers you want to use the link to get new springs/ followers apparently. Again this applies ONLY to the 18 round magazines.

Did a search and didn't find anything, so I thought I'd post this. Walther has a new pistol lineup that just came out, the Walther PDP:



Nice initial review:

Is this another New 2021 offering?

Is there anything not to like about the PDP? I hear it’s no slouch in the accuracy dept!!!

Walther makes some of the most accurate guns in the business , +P+ capable barrels with polygonal rifling and a stepped chamber.

The PDP's are very good shooters.

As much as I want to like the gun, I love my Q5, shooters who put a lot of rounds through them are having problems with the triggers getting heavier and grittier with use. I also on theory, do not like there optics cut. These two things have kept me from purchasing the gun.
