This man is literally my next door neighbor. (thank you for double clearing your chambers WaltherLover) The knowledge, genuine joy, and enthusiasm that he has for each of his firearms is unmatched. If youre into handguns, this is the guy to get 2 cents from.
That’s awesome go to the range together guys! My neighbors drag ass actually 😂.. I just picked up my walther pdp compact on Friday and tested it yesterday at the range. The best ever love it! Fantastic ergonomics!
You're the reason I picked one up today. Several months back I handled one at my local shop, and I was kinda interested... came back after lunch and it was gone. Today I went in hoping for the compact, and I'd just figure out the thread barrel later since I do use a suppressor. Ended up being my golden day: A single, PDP Pro SD Compact was in stock!!! So I followed the local requirements, and brought her home with me today.
Great review. Love the enthusiasm! I'm a Walther fan, too. I only have 3 so far. May be targeting the WMR next. At 13:42 he says, "Walther doesn't know I exist." LOL - That MAY have been true before this review, but I found this video because Walther shared it on Facebook about 10 hours ago! Here is the text of their post: "Now… understand… we know that there are a LOT of you who LOVE Walther handguns. But here is the thing… we have to acknowledge one person specifically. He might be the most enthusiastic lover of Walther we’ve ever seen. This review of the new Walther PDP Pro SD is one of the most watchable and fun video reviews this year. He may be a bit biased in his love of Walther but know this… he bought this gun, we didn’t compensate him. The name of his channel is even super pro Walther. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did." That's some pretty cool recognition.
This is why people should do there homework before wasting their hard earned money on a Glock. For me it’s CZ, Walther and HK. I like products that come out the box ready wo need for customization yet are modular. But after watching WaltherLover I’m falling in love with Walther! Great stuff, thank you.
It would be nice if Walther actually sent multiple plates with their optic ready pistols. A handful other manufacturers send multiple plates in the box with their optic ready pistols.
@@hwanjung8230 I own a bit of all makes talked of here but recently bought a standard P365 & added a Wilson Combat XL grip with their weight kit too. Sadly I've yet to shoot it but it feels tremendous in the hand. PDP-F once found will make its way home for my wife as I have a PDP compact & being able to share mags is a plus.
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 RUclips 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 RUclips) 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 (RUclips) to ensure you get the latest up-to-date information on any weapon ....you paying for it. Might as well do your homework. - G😝🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😜🤑🤑🤑
I am a Walther-fan. I own the Walther PDP full size 5" 18+1 and the compact 4" 15+1 LE Edition. Both are superb modern handguns. I bought the PDP Pro SD last Saturday. The Pro is a notch above the amazing PDP platform. The Dymanic Performance Triggers makes the Pro the difference. Aside from the redesigned optic cut lug nut secured for a sturdier, stronger attachment.
Just got my first PDP HOLY WOW 🤩 ❤😊 IM BUYING MORE OF THEM ROCKING A HOLOSUN 507 comp Green dot it’s so accurate and well BLHA. BLHAAA BLHAA PDP --ITS A GREAT GUN SYSTEM NOW May be better than my CZ’s oh my Thanks for the trigger demo that was what I needed to see !!!
Two years ago I bought my full size 4.5 inch barrel awsome pistol now the pro comes out and I am kicking myself but I put suppressor sights and changed my barrel to a threaded one I love the way this gun shoots and suppressed it's amazing but I might be a little bias I also have a ppq 45acp tactical and one of the nicest guns walther ever made the p99 as I also got a threaded barrel for that it's got to be one of the few double single action striker fired guns I've ever seen strange it came out in the mid 90s and though walther has discontinued it lately this year they are issuing a limited run of the pistol I never understood why all of Europe's police where carrying them and alot of there armed forces I think the trigger guard mag release killed it here I happened to prefer it Americans don't like change but if it was good enough for two different James bonds it was more than good enough for me and of course this brings me back almost 40 years I still have my interarms walther ppk 380 I must of put 4000 rounds through that one and it still looks brand new today I carried concealed with hollow silver tips until I got the p99 about the same weight and not to much bigger but 16 rounds of today's self defense ammunition is hard to beat hope I never have to use it but I train as often as I can thank you for your great video.
I never owned a walther so I Picked up the pdp pro at my local gun store. I've been missing out for years. I love this gun its my new home defense gun. Thanks for the review just subscribed
Ordering one of these today... wanted to do a final excuse-check to see if I needed it or just wanted it... thanks for your review... I think it’s NEED! Subbed and following!
I've had a PPQ SD in .45 for a couple years and love it. But I STILL can't find a level 2/3 holster for it. So, I finally joined the 9mm club and just ordered a PDP full-size Pro SD. Since I have a Trijicon SRO on my .45 and love it, I am going to order a Trijicon RCR for it. Maybe get the tungsten guide rod to cut down on muzzle flip a little. Can't wait to try it out!
I had a chance to get one but I didn’t pull the trigger lol. I regret it but I’ll definitely get one in the future. It was on sale for 650 here in Hawaii and the store only had one. Someone bought it after I held it. Aloha
I've been debating getting a PDP, this new Pro version cemented that decision. Gonna try to pick one up today...I saw one at one of my local shops a few days ago. Hopefully it's still there.
It’s truly an awesome gun. Not much to dislike here. Some people say that it is “snappy”, but I don’t really agree. There may be a slight bit more felt/perceived recoil compared to some other manufacturers, but Walther claims that this is due to them utilizing a stepped chamber. Some people have tested the stepped chamber theory and it doesn’t seem to make a huge difference depending on the ammo used, but it is still cool. My only real complaint is that if you carry it concealed and are in a self defense scenario that is very close-quarters, and the slide happens to be pushed against an attacker it will kill the trigger and will not fire. Easy remedy for this is to put a light on it that extends beyond the barrel.
GREAT VIDEO... As a Walther fan and owner of PPQ Q 4 TAC and PDP 5 inches full size and 4 inches compact and others , will really like to hear from you if the trigger is superior to all the previews WALTHER by far . Thanks again
Nice review - when you talk about your larger hand size, for those of use on the fence between compact and full size it would be nice to see what your hand size is or what size glove you wear - it's not possible to feel Walther PDP grips here in the boonies. Thanks for the review.
Walthers makes great pistols. I purchased a silencer last July and still didn’t receive my stamp from the ATF yet and I don’t even have a parking ticket on my record. It’s unbelievable how they jerk you around and you have to send them the money for the stamp upfront!
I have a Walther PPQ with the Apex flat base trigger and while it's great for competition oftentimes when drawing I get and unintentional double tap but like for fence fine but for a carry gun I like the stock trigger I have no problem pulling it straight back even though it's curved and I like the fact that has pre travel so as I'm pressing out I can control when I actually discharge
I’ve been searching and I can’t seem to distinguish the difference between the PDP PRO vs PDP PRO SD? What does the SD even stand for? Great video bud!
Wonder why the mag base plates aren’t larger, I have the PDP pro full size like this one, and I feel like the mag is flush with base pad. Makes it harder to load?
Dang I just found your channel by accident, I have 3 Walthers all PPQ types and be waiting to get a PDP. Been waiting for an upgrade of thr optic plate and different colors. Anyways just subscribed 👍
“What more could you want?” How about optic plates that come with an “optic ready” pistol?! How can an “optic ready” pistol be “optic ready” when you purchase it, have an optic in hand, but can’t mount it because Walther thought it was good idea not to include ANY plates!!!!! Don’t get me wrong, I love the PDP. Have zero complaints with the PDP Compact itself. But Walther? My god! When most new “optic ready” pistols in 2022 come with multiple plates (sometimes 5) in the box, Walther decides to send their customers with ZERO! You have to get in touch with Walther just to have them send you a plate specific to your optic! And if you decide to change or upgrade optics? You’ll have to get in touch with them again!!!!! And maybe for a price. 🤦🏻♂️ Whoever came up with the genius idea not to include plates with an “optic ready” pistol at Walther needs to be demoted! A Walther PDP “optic ready” straight out of the box at your LGS is not optic ready at all! It is only optic capable. You can buy the PDP and your favorite optic at your LGS and will have to sit on your ass waiting for the plate before you can mount it. Great job marketing team! It’s a perfectly designed pistol that’s handicapped by the clueless suits pushing bad business practices.
Homie i know this will be shocking to hear, but some of us couldn't care less about mounting an optic to a firearm. It makes more sense to sell it aftermarket and charge people who want it, rather then charging people for something they don't want.
@@andog6092 Lmao. Homie, most people buy optic ready pistols specifically to put optics on them! If you don’t plan on putting optics on your OR pistol, that’s ok. But you’re in the minority! Manufacturers typically cater to the majority of their customers not the minority, otherwise they’ll go out of business. Do you even know why these manufacturers started coming out with optic ready models? It’s because people were having their non OR pistols milled. So manufacturers decided to upcharge for OR models but some decided to half ass it and leave their customers looking for plates that are compatible. Some have decided to go all the way and included multiple plates. Some listen to their customers and some don’t. And no, it doesn’t make more sense to sell it aftermarket. Which is why more and more of the manufacturers who want to take a bigger piece of the market are INCLUDING multiple optic plates in the box for their OR models. THAT MAKES MORE SENSE! And those models aren’t even as expensive as the Walthers. There’s also other manufacturers with pistols that are optic ready and no plates required for specific red dots. You need to get updated with what’s going on. This isn’t something new or just some wishful thinking. This is happening with other manufacturers. Walther is just behind. I’m a big Walther fan and I have a PDP. I’ve tried to convince friends to get a PDP of their own, but they went with pistols that already come with plates. You gain customers by having an edge over the competition. That’s the point of the PDP in the first place.
I want one of these sooo bad..but I can't find one anywhere still...most shops I've asked about it, didn't even know it existed. I prefer to handle one before buying, so ordering from somewhere is outta the question. But, if I ever see one somewhere it'll be in serious danger of comin home with me.
I have a standard PDP I would not want my already light trigger to be any lighter and all I gotta do is just get a threaded barrel in a mag well and it would be a pro
Great review!!! Both my Walthers rattle. Nothing wrong, it is what it is. I also noted in the first shooting, the slide did not lock back after 6th and final round. Did I miss something? As always you rock. And for Walther to acknowledge, well, that is awesome!!
Slide lock thing is all me, definitely not the gun! My giant paws rest right on that dang thing! And it’s super cool of Walther to acknowledge some of its fans like me, very classy!
The threaded barrel 4.6” (b/c I need the compact) is $250 all day long. That alone is a huge savings. Throw in the DPT Dynamic Performance Trigger and the aluminum Mag Well and it’s practically “free” because my PDP-F 4” is steady at $650 and I just bought the PDP Pro SD 4” compact for $799. (need to pick it up tomorrow) So that’s $150 difference where again just the barrel alone is $100 over this difference. Not a lot to ponder on this one.
@@WaltherLover friend are you gonna put a sight on it? I'm thinking of an RMR, btw this is my first gun so any recommendations you got I'm happy to hear
Were there actually any issues with the PDP 1 optics cut, or was it an "internet" problem. According to their website there have been zero failures. I ask because I have a Gen 1 and have not actually seen it. I would buy the Pro in an instant if I did not already own a gun like it. I have a Sig P320 Legion with this style of set up with seems to be pretty common now. I love it, but am considering a trade in so my home defense and carry have some commonality.
My problem with their PDP lineup is their lack of magazine compatibility. The regular full size and both 18 round pro compact and full size mags will not work properly in the regular compact version. Mainly need properly built base plates to use an 18 rounder in the compact. bummer but I'm sure someone will start making something that will work.
Thanks for the feedback! I promise that trigger is worth the wait! Availability has been off and on for a long time, secret is out about how awesome it is!
Great video just put that trigger in my PDP compact after you let me feel it in that gun at the range can’t figure out how to contact you directly but the range just got the F series in stock
Let those who don't know about the pdp know full size and compact size isn't referring to barrel length...Its 15 is 18 rounds that make it full or compact...
Okay I was literally dry firing my two Walther P99 Gen one's today and to me those triggers are 2nd to none and are of course my favorite and only 9mm striker fired pistols I own !!! Life is good as Hickok45 says !!!
I'm waiting for my local range to get one for their rental fleet. I carry a P99 AS and haven't found a better trigger yet. But, after watching this review I need to shoot one!
took my PPS out the other day and put about 200rds thru and thought to myself........why the hell havent they revamped this to compete with the g43/365/hellcat :( such a good flat shooting pistol, the cap of 8rds makes me barely carry it anymore
Hard for me to definitely put the PDP ahead of the classic PPQ. For me, the PPQ grip feels like an extension of my hand in every way. That said, I have a PDP Pro SD (FS) on order...because why not? Although it sounds like this will force me to track down DP triggers for my PPQs now. Excellent review BTW!!!
It was hard for me to move away from the PPQ as well, still love them! Go ahead and order your trigger, you will not be disappointed! Thanks for the feedback!
This man is literally my next door neighbor. (thank you for double clearing your chambers WaltherLover) The knowledge, genuine joy, and enthusiasm that he has for each of his firearms is unmatched. If youre into handguns, this is the guy to get 2 cents from.
Thanks man, and we'll always be safe!
That’s awesome go to the range together guys! My neighbors drag ass actually 😂.. I just picked up my walther pdp compact on Friday and tested it yesterday at the range. The best ever love it! Fantastic ergonomics!
You said thank you for double checking the chamber lol. Gayyyyyyyy
That trigger alone is like what people usually spend $200+ on
You're the reason I picked one up today.
Several months back I handled one at my local shop, and I was kinda interested... came back after lunch and it was gone.
Today I went in hoping for the compact, and I'd just figure out the thread barrel later since I do use a suppressor.
Ended up being my golden day:
A single, PDP Pro SD Compact was in stock!!!
So I followed the local requirements, and brought her home with me today.

@ReedEmbry. Hello ..nice reviews
Masterpiece of an arm
Man you got some character! And I'm right there with on the pdp. You get a sub
The threaded barrel from Walther is $249 and includes the spring.
I just recently got a pdp f series it is an amazing firearm
You think the compact is worth getting?? Don't know if I want the fs or compact. The compact also comes with 18 plus 1.
Nice review - when you talk about your larger hand size, for those of use on the fence between compact and full size it would be nice to see what your hand size is or what size glove you wear - it's not possible to feel Walther PDP grips here in the boonies. Thanks for the review.

Don't know about other states but adventure outdoors in Georgia have them, well...I bought the last one
Could you please make a video showing this gun with the silencer?
this is the exact model the german special forces have adopted now, only without the aimpoint acro and this is in black instead of FDE
Thanks for the review. Question if I may, how does it compare to the canik sfx rival?
I have a Walter PPQ M2. Best gun i own.
Damn that trigger! Love flat trigger’s
just picked up the Q4 SF. the PDP SD Pro is next
I’ve been searching and I can’t seem to distinguish the difference between the PDP PRO vs PDP PRO SD? What does the SD even stand for? Great video bud!
Was looking at this gun, however threaded barrel without suppressor height sights made it a no go. But the F-series looks pretty sweet.
Wonder why the mag base plates aren’t larger, I have the PDP pro full size like this one, and I feel like the mag is flush with base pad. Makes it harder to load?
Is that a crack at the magazine release button?
Good stuff ... just got mine today 😎✌🏾
I just ordered the pdp pro today. Fde version
Don't have one yet but I'm gonna add it to my wish list
You won't be disappointed for sure! Thanks for watching!
Wish they’d put some good night sights. Why I like my sigs X ray 3 is amazing irons bright green n black out rear.

Gonna rush out and get this gun ASAP!!!
just saw your reivew and will order one. I have the P99 and PPQ, and a few others always love Walther trigger.
Nice recoil control. Lots of people make it look flippy.
Thanks for the ongoing support my friend! The PDP makes it easy when I get my grip right!
I have heard about it being flippy but I have not experienced that at all.
Dang I just found your channel by accident, I have 3 Walthers all PPQ types and be waiting to get a PDP. Been waiting for an upgrade of thr optic plate and different colors.
Anyways just subscribed 👍
“What more could you want?”
How about optic plates that come with an “optic ready” pistol?! How can an “optic ready” pistol be “optic ready” when you purchase it, have an optic in hand, but can’t mount it because Walther thought it was good idea not to include ANY plates!!!!!
Don’t get me wrong, I love the PDP. Have zero complaints with the PDP Compact itself. But Walther? My god! When most new “optic ready” pistols in 2022 come with multiple plates (sometimes 5) in the box, Walther decides to send their customers with ZERO! You have to get in touch with Walther just to have them send you a plate specific to your optic! And if you decide to change or upgrade optics? You’ll have to get in touch with them again!!!!! And maybe for a price. 🤦🏻♂️
Whoever came up with the genius idea not to include plates with an “optic ready” pistol at Walther needs to be demoted! A Walther PDP “optic ready” straight out of the box at your LGS is not optic ready at all! It is only optic capable. You can buy the PDP and your favorite optic at your LGS and will have to sit on your ass waiting for the plate before you can mount it. Great job marketing team! It’s a perfectly designed pistol that’s handicapped by the clueless suits pushing bad business practices.
Lol
Homie i know this will be shocking to hear, but some of us couldn't care less about mounting an optic to a firearm. It makes more sense to sell it aftermarket and charge people who want it, rather then charging people for something they don't want.
@@andog6092 Lmao. Homie, most people buy optic ready pistols specifically to put optics on them! If you don’t plan on putting optics on your OR pistol, that’s ok. But you’re in the minority! Manufacturers typically cater to the majority of their customers not the minority, otherwise they’ll go out of business. Do you even know why these manufacturers started coming out with optic ready models? It’s because people were having their non OR pistols milled. So manufacturers decided to upcharge for OR models but some decided to half ass it and leave their customers looking for plates that are compatible. Some have decided to go all the way and included multiple plates. Some listen to their customers and some don’t.
And no, it doesn’t make more sense to sell it aftermarket. Which is why more and more of the manufacturers who want to take a bigger piece of the market are INCLUDING multiple optic plates in the box for their OR models. THAT MAKES MORE SENSE! And those models aren’t even as expensive as the Walthers. There’s also other manufacturers with pistols that are optic ready and no plates required for specific red dots. You need to get updated with what’s going on.
This isn’t something new or just some wishful thinking. This is happening with other manufacturers. Walther is just behind. I’m a big Walther fan and I have a PDP. I’ve tried to convince friends to get a PDP of their own, but they went with pistols that already come with plates. You gain customers by having an edge over the competition. That’s the point of the PDP in the first place.
Still haven’t been able to find one!
I want one of these sooo bad..but I can't find one anywhere still...most shops I've asked about it, didn't even know it existed. I prefer to handle one before buying, so ordering from somewhere is outta the question. But, if I ever see one somewhere it'll be in serious danger of comin home with me.
Thanks for this video. I am also a Walther lover 🖤🖤🖤🤘✔️
Looking to get the PRO SD COMPACT. what is the magazine compatibility? Will regular PDP or CANIK SFX mags fit if you remove the Flared Magwell?
I may have to pick one up and wallow in shame.
I have a standard PDP I would not want my already light trigger to be any lighter and all I gotta do is just get a threaded barrel in a mag well and it would be a pro
Hey, can i get this without a threded barrel? My country wont allow it in with the threded barrel? 😭😭😭
Great review!!! Both my Walthers rattle. Nothing wrong, it is what it is. I also noted in the first shooting, the slide did not lock back after 6th and final round. Did I miss something? As always you rock. And for Walther to acknowledge, well, that is awesome!!
Slide lock thing is all me, definitely not the gun! My giant paws rest right on that dang thing! And it’s super cool of Walther to acknowledge some of its fans like me, very classy!
Why are you saying that the rattle is ok? Why are you allowing the bar to be set that low because you are a fan boy. Demand better.
The threaded barrel 4.6” (b/c I need the compact) is $250 all day long. That alone is a huge savings. Throw in the DPT Dynamic Performance Trigger and the aluminum Mag Well and it’s practically “free” because my PDP-F 4” is steady at $650 and I just bought the PDP Pro SD 4” compact for $799. (need to pick it up tomorrow) So that’s $150 difference where again just the barrel alone is $100 over this difference. Not a lot to ponder on this one.
I can't find it for sale anywhere..ever since they mentioned it coming out in March of this year..it is now July???
I just hate how big the slide release is, i notice when you shot it the slide didn’t lock back i have that same prob
Bore to axis tend to be alittle high with Walters , I am not sure that would matter to much
🔥
Just ordered, thanks for the video!
Awesome! Thanks for watching! Enjoy that think when it comes in!!!
@@WaltherLover friend are you gonna put a sight on it? I'm thinking of an RMR, btw this is my first gun so any recommendations you got I'm happy to hear
Mark Dice's outro has been found.
Were there actually any issues with the PDP 1 optics cut, or was it an "internet" problem. According to their website there have been zero failures. I ask because I have a Gen 1 and have not actually seen it. I would buy the Pro in an instant if I did not already own a gun like it. I have a Sig P320 Legion with this style of set up with seems to be pretty common now. I love it, but am considering a trade in so my home defense and carry have some commonality.
Great video, tell me, can these 18 round mags fit the PDP f gun that just came out? Thanks 👍🏽
Where can I get the PDP Pro Compact right now???
My problem with their PDP lineup is their lack of magazine compatibility. The regular full size and both 18 round pro compact and full size mags will not work properly in the regular compact version. Mainly need properly built base plates to use an 18 rounder in the compact. bummer but I'm sure someone will start making something that will work.
No mention of the sights I was disappointed to see no suppressor height night sights .
Trying to buy the new trigger but sold out. It'll be available eventually. Will have to order the magwell, threaded barrel and spring. Nice review! 👍
Thanks for the feedback! I promise that trigger is worth the wait! Availability has been off and on for a long time, secret is out about how awesome it is!
@@WaltherLover I'll try to be patient 👍
@@WaltherLover I'll try to be patient 👍
Sorry to say but I got the pep full size and it did not feel comfortable at all to me when shooting it! Traded it off after 250 rds. Got an HK 😂
Great video just put that trigger in my PDP compact after you let me feel it in that gun at the range can’t figure out how to contact you directly but the range just got the F series in stock
Thank you so much! Did get the F series, new review coming soon! Thanks for checking out the channel, really appreciate the support!!!
Let those who don't know about the pdp know full size and compact size isn't referring to barrel length...Its 15 is 18 rounds that make it full or compact...
Thats normal for any gun its never thenslide or barrell its the frame always is on pistols
15-18 rounds is pretty awesome. I think the C2 Staccato I’m waiting for has 15 plus one.
Okay I was literally dry firing my two Walther P99 Gen one's today and to me those triggers are 2nd to none and are of course my favorite and only 9mm striker fired pistols I own !!! Life is good as Hickok45 says !!!
Love the P99s!!! Thanks for checking out the channel!
I'm waiting for my local range to get one for their rental fleet. I carry a P99 AS and haven't found a better trigger yet. But, after watching this review I need to shoot one!
You are going to love it! Thanks so much for checking us out!
I love the pdp but I hate the cheap plastic sight's
Beretta mags work just need a new slot drilled. I have an 18rd one and the mag floor plate also fits but drops capacity to 17….
honestly.... i just want a version without an optic cut, so i can get a direct , low mount 509t on there, if they did that, it would be perfect.
took my PPS out the other day and put about 200rds thru and thought to myself........why the hell havent they revamped this to compete with the g43/365/hellcat :(
such a good flat shooting pistol, the cap of 8rds makes me barely carry it anymore
What was the out of the box trigger pull weight on this ?
Love to see you put a comp, maybe PMM comp and review with that?
Not a bad idea, let me see if I can make that happen! Thanks for checking us out!
Hard for me to definitely put the PDP ahead of the classic PPQ. For me, the PPQ grip feels like an extension of my hand in every way. That said, I have a PDP Pro SD (FS) on order...because why not? Although it sounds like this will force me to track down DP triggers for my PPQs now. Excellent review BTW!!!
It was hard for me to move away from the PPQ as well, still love them! Go ahead and order your trigger, you will not be disappointed! Thanks for the feedback!
could share with me where you put the order?
@@WaltherLover quick info...I bought a threaded barrel from Walther for my PDP compact 4.0" and it was $250. Walther barrels are NOT cheap at all!!!
Have you been able to find a duty holster I'm struggle to find a level 2 light bearing holster for this weapon system with a red dot
Do you mind showcases the modularity of the pdp? I hear you can swap around the slides and frames
