As a new gun owner I didn't know much about Walther or any other brand of firearms, but I bought this gun last summer and it does not disappoint. Its just really esthetically pleasing to hold and shoot. The grip really bites into your hand which gives that "I'm in control" kinda feeling which I think is important. The recoil does take some getting used to but overall this gun gets a 10/10 for me. I plan on changing out the rear sight and adding a red dot to it as well. Just a really great gun.
So far, one of the most detailed reviews on this pistol that I have seen. I’m starting to think that my channel was the only one not to get one of these ;-) Thank you very much for the video.
This HAS TO BE the nicest pistol to sum up what 2021 requirements are, I NEED this gun, lol.
I agree. The only thing I’m worried about and not familiar with is a polymer guide rod
@@faketaxi474 The PPQ comes with one too and it was very reliable for me in about 2-3k rounds. I only changed it to steel to reduce a bit of the muzzle flip
I bought one yesterday
Maybe wait for gen 2
@@Pew_Meister In my PPQ 9mm I changed it, too. With no remarkable difference in comparison to standard polymer rod 😁 Great expectations, no miracle 🤷♂️😁
One if not the best reviews of this gun to this day . The pros are clear as well as the cons ... Awesome... I can relate since I have both , the Ppq q 4 tac and the new Pdp . GREAT!
So grateful for the manual as a first time gun purchaser. Been super helpful and very clear.
I'm very interested in this pistol. Thanks for the show.
Appreciate the slow methodical takedown with emphasis on detail. Very nice machine/tool/ tkx for posting.
Enjoyed this review vid very much Graham thank you!!!
Beautiful. Added to top of my wish list!
Your range video really showed how awesome this pistol is,keep up the great videos!!
Now this is a great review. Best I have seen on the PDP. Thanks so much. Subbed
Thank you and welcome to the channel! We separate tabletop from range video. The range videos are called "shooting impressions"
Getting this tomorrow. Can't wait, thanks for the review 👍
How do you like it? Shot it yet? Curious how it will fell IWB.
Yeah buddy how is it do you conceal?
Picked up PDP Compact with 4" Slide
yesterday to go with my
OTHER Walther Stable
7 PPQS (4 polymers, 3 SF)
Tried the FULL frame
but the Compact actually
felt BETTER in my SmallMed
ManHands
👏
- ARMED Progressive in North Dallas 🙏
I imagine at 6'5, GB
The FULL will feel like my Compact
AND you get 3 extra ends @ same price
I love the fully adjustable rear sight
but intend to ADD 507C X2
I was shocked to discover Dawson has no
adjustable MOS rear sight
Anybody suggest what Dawson fixed front and rear
suppressor sights might pair to give a
15-25 Lower 1/3 ZERO?
Other nonDawson 'Glock' alternatives?
Thanks
Nice Garand Thumb reference.
If you plan to KEEP that Firearm, please stop voting "Progressive".
@@thisismagacountry1318 yeah wait a second? Armed progressive ? Lmao. Like armed leftwing nut? Jesus please don't say that
I enjoy your "What's for Dinner" section.
Excellent video as always.
I gave you a "thumbs up" just for the disclosure in your Opening. Thank you! Hopefully, they read it. Great video, too!
I ordered mine today, can't wait to have it!
Red dot for sure! Thanks for the GREAT videos!!!
About 8 full reviews later you're the first to tell me ill be getting a voucher for said red dot plate. I was stressing cause I never picked which plate I wanted.
We try to be thorough
Just bought one a couple of weeks ago and I would put the quality, innovation and reliability right up there with my HK USP .45. Gotta love the German Engineering
Just ordered it today after seeing on a magazine I was delivering a couple days ago. It's a sexy pistol and I needed it!
Can't wait to try one, my wife loves Walther so she will probably have to get one
She may even need two
Being a former P99 and current PPQ owner, I definitely will be getting this once the buying frenzy has died down.
Amen 👍
Black Friday
Hoping the PPQ M2 compact doesn’t get phased out before I purchase one. I can’t find it anywhere.
great review graham. its soo helpful of my purchase!
Glad to hear, that's why we do this!
Just bought one the other day. Waiting for it to arrive. First Walther!
It's very strange...i own a Walther creed ( my first handgun in which I thank this channel on educating me, I LOVE the gun) springfield armory xds, walther ppqsc, glock 19 and a sars B6 (which I bought new and never fired in October but had surgery and can't rack the slide). Of my experience with these 4 brands I keep coming back to Walther's. I really love their product, seems they always have good quality product.
This was very helpful for me because my 4" PDP-F's guide rod and spring are like this 4" PDP Compact's rather than the 3.5" PDP-F's. Thank you!
An excellently detailed review of PDP! Walther PDP looks as good as PPQ!!
Better I think
Just got one. Feels great. One of the best triggers. Great texture on grip, grippy but not too aggressive. And I saw elsewhere that the slide and frame are interchangeable with the PPQ.
I love Walther! I have a PPK/S and a Creed. I must have this PDP compact for carrying
I’m so happy Walther didn’t change the best parts about the ppq. They left the same grip shape and profile, left the internals the same so we know it’s going to be a proven and reliable platform. They simply updated a few things people complained about like the grip texture aggressiveness and ability to mount an optic without deleting the rear sight. Both wins in my book. Maybe now the ppq will come down in price and I can score one for a good deal 😂. Good review and nice gun!
Its a beautiful gun, probably looking at getting the compact model. Nice review!
I prefer the 4" compact size over the larger full size PDP. I had a brief chance to get a new PDP 9mm full size with the LE officer, mil price: $520.00 but elected to wait for a 4" compact. From what I know these PDPs take Glock after market sights. I'd add this new engineered design to up the 9mm vel & punch 🥊 sounds good. If the PDP line can feed, cycle 💯 that's my main concern.
Nice concise picture of said pistol; thanks.
Looking forward to seeing a refresh of the PPS in this same style.
Outstanding. Thanks. Looking forward to an opportunity to handle & shoot this Walther.
Stopped in my local Las Vegas dealer and was surprised to find that these were in stock. Immediately bought one and can say that it's everyhing Grahm says it is. A little disappointed that holster (and extra mag) availability is so limited at this point but I'm sure that will change as more people acquire this gem.
There are plenty of holster makers (Walther even listed themontheir website). As far as mags, theold PPQ M2 mags work.
Good Video. I'm definitely getting one.
Just picked one up today probably my best pistol. My first walther. Thanks man.
Have you carried IWB? Curious if the compact is too thick for everyday carry.
That's all about your own preferences. The PDP compact is smaller than what I usually carry, but it comes down to personal preference, clothing style, holster, carry location, etc
I shot with and without reddot and I enjoy shooting it either way. The pinky pressure really makes it easy to get on target with the reddot.
Very nice gun!
And your right!
A great manual is always very important.
Personally, I never touch my brand new gun, until I've nearly memorized the manual!
And I've been shooting and owning guns since, oh, say about 1965?
Really well done video.
noice, mine is in the mail. cant wait to pick it up
I'm buying this gun. That being said, the pinky pressure is nonsense. My ppq has it and doesn't come with red dot cuts.
EVERY BOX IS CHECKED!!!
I wish they had flared the mag will a little more but with 15/18 rounds the only folks that need that are competitive shooters.
Sold! I'm gonna buy one!
My compliments! Awesome review... I think I just found my next side chick!
This will be my new carry.
Everything about that gun is innovative.
Only 1 dealer in town got these. They only got 2. Both full size . I got lucky and took one home. Very nice, I will look for the compact later on. Have the PPQ M2,PPS. Both excellent pistols. This one seems as good if not better. Have not tried it out yet.
I like it , might need to make another purchase ...
Excellent review, thanks! Are the serrations on the slide sharp, like those on the CZ P-10 pistols?
No
Love the Megadeth intro!! 🤘🏼
That’s a 2021 Walther alright.good stuff.
Nice pic of all of the different projectiles. My friend made me a shop display of 70. I used it for explaining the types we used to carry in the shop. Now, it sits on my a shelf in my office. Such a downer.
70 types of ammo?
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 yep. It has FMJ's, Reg holly's, shredders, fract's , frag's and inverted holly's too. That's why there are a lot more.
@@ricks2651 What's holly/inverted holly?
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 look up Truncated Cone Hollow Point Ammo and Holly's just mean Hollow Point Ammo.
Yeah they have another 4" with an 18 rnd capacity, but I prefer the 15 rnd model because that shortened grip is much easier to conceal.
Awesome pistol
Your open letter to the Ewe-Toob Stasi is worth the sub!
Thanks for the great tabletop! I've been debating on selling my Creed lately, and I'm thinking about it even more with the PDP coming out. At least I'd be replacing Walther for Walther :)
The Creed is probably the best "budget" 9mm out there. I almost bought one the other day then I heard this was coming out.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 yes, the Creed is a fine weapon in its own right. I just haven’t been “attached” to it. I’d like the PDP much better me thinks.
@@AaronGraves No doubt. The Creed is like a 914 Porsche and the PDP or PPQ a 911.
Beautiful handgun!!
From my view, this is absolutely perfect for me, except for one thing. I wish the slide was narrower for easier concealed carry.
Totally agree man, awesome option with the pdp except for the fat slide. I’m thinking of getting one really soon. A big question is if the compact can take an 18rd mag I think it can
I love my Creed trigger, even over my Canik ...
Thanks Graham!
Yeah I don't think the muzzle play had any effect on Mrs. GB accuracy test!
I recently built a thousand dollar glock 19 using a polymer80 lower. This gun basically has the same exact features besides for it having no night sights or aluminum trigger. You're basically getting the quality of an apex trigger kit without the trigger shoe with this gun. In polymer80 terms this gun is worth around $830 and you're getting it for $600 😳👍. It's honestly one of the best deals I've seen in a really long time. If I would have known this was coming I would have never built a p80. Im definitely going to buy one!! . Im going to wait a year and let the company work out any problems it might have. It seems like most gun's have minor issues throughout the first year. I have a really good feeling about this firearm :). It might be the best one yet when it comes to pistols under a thousand dollars.
Hey buddy it’s been over a year do you have a review of the walther?
Walther is THE most supportive company of the 2nd amendment period. Those guys do so much to support our rights.
Looking up videos on the PDP and this one begins with
Train of Consequences by Megadeth….you have my attention sir!
It’s an absolute beauty. Currently Walther has no plan to release this with the paddle magazine release. I totally understand that in the US market it’s not that popular, however I prefer the paddle release and hope they do so in the future.
my first edition PPQ had the paddle mag release and I thought it much superior to the USA style grip button release. Most who tried it actually preferred it or said they thought they could get used to it very quickly.
All of my Walther’s (PPQ, P99) except for my PPK have the paddle mag release. My carry gun, the HK VP9SK, has it too. Since I have smaller hands, I’m able to actuate it better by using my middle finger instead of having to re-position my grip to hit a button style release with my thumb. To each their own though. It comes down to preference and training. I’ve trained my whole life with paddles so I’m better with that. Here’s to hoping Walther offers the PDP with it in the future! ;)
The bio-mechanics of the paddle is at least 2x as economical.
How are a lot of people grabbing these PDP's but everywhere I searched they are sold out just like all the ammo and other guns?
Very cool looking gun
Reminds me of the beretta apx sans optic cut, your thoughts ?
1. When shooting you should always know how many rounds you have left in your magazine.
2. If you know your gun you don't need a press check. The ejector will tell you if there's a round in there.
3. Pinky pressure brings down the front of the gun.
I found one at my local store and had to buy at the price they were asking, waaaaay below retail. But damn, Walther is proud of their stuff aren't they? Still, such a nice semi-auto.
I was finally able to see one of these and I can honestly say I would put up my Glock to make this my new edc
Coming from a Glock to the PDP is like going from a Chevy to BMW. Be prepared for a whole new level
When the slide is off the frame how much side to side play does the barrel have in the slide?
Can't wait for what's for dinner. 👍☕😎
Any holster in particular that you recommend for the PDP 4”?. Order one from this particular brand OWB , but print to much , not tight at all in your waist . Feels really good for duty carry , range and training but not for carry.
Is the trigger better than the canik tp9sf elites? That is the best trigger i have ever felt, even better the the ppq
Very thorough. Subscribed.
I would love to see that velocity comparison and the red dot in the field!
We opted to not attach a red dot so that our review was true to the pistol and not influenced by any one particular red dot's weight or accuracy: testing just the pistol. That can bee seen in out Shooting Impressions video.
@@GBGuns Seen and enjoyed that one. Also very thorough!
Still, if the velocity comparison and red dot review would be possible I think I wouldn't be the only one to enjoy your take on that...
I'm a lefty and noticed that you said the slide release does not torque. I would liked to have seen more of the frame in your video to see just how the slide release was constructed for this gun. Thanks!
Something new to be added to my Walther toy box. All positive updates to the PPQ series.
(I understand the PPQ Tac barrel is interchangeable with the PDP 4”.)
Is that the threaded one?
Yes. Walther website has a list of compatible parts, PPQ-PDP, and the threaded barrel is not specifically listed but I know of no reason it wouldn’t work on the 4” model PDPs. You should ask them for clarification before shelling out a couple of hundred for one.
I love my PDP and we are selling out daily in 3 hours.
All guns are selling out daily where I live
What does the rifling look like in the barrel?
I have the full size freaking awesome
Velocity test yes!!!
Hopefully they come out with a 45 variant
Perfect, because I was thinking about the PPQ 45, but these improvements would make all the difference.
This looks very similar to a Canik TP9SF Elite I used to have. One thing, if not the only thing, I didn't like about the Canik was the sight plane was so high above my hand. It shot well, but was kinda heavy for the size. This looks like it could be about the right size. I have a G43x now, so I'm not really looking now, but Walther is one that seems to actually improve things, instead of just make the same thing but cheaper.
The Canik was a copy of the Walther P99 and PPQ series
Thank you for this review, can you do additional reviews to help left handed shooters please.
Nice video! I would really like to see the different speeds of the projectiles coming from different Walther barrels. How about a comparison of the PDP 4", newer PPQ 4" with polygonal rifling and probably an older PPQ 4" with traditional rifled barrel?
Walther have had stepped chambers for decades. It's sadly part of the "high bore axis myth" because it can make recoil feel a little snappier.
@@GBGuns Good to know, thanks.
There should still be a difference in speed from polygonal vs traditional rifling though, right?
@@GBGuns The PDP comes in 3 different Mag capacities. Does the gun with the largest mag capacity have the largest grip. My hands are large and I don't want a pistol with a grip which won't have enough room for my entire hand.
Is everyone having this amount of left/right play between the slide and frame? I just bought one yesterday. When I grip it and turn my wrist from palm up to palm down, you can hear and feel the slide clunk to the other side.
I want to call it the Personal Defense Pistol as well. Just rolls off the tongue. I've heard it called that by others also. I just got back from Cabelas in Virginia and sadly they didn't have one in stock despite showing it on their website. I was going to drop the money then and there. All in all it looks like a great update to the PPQ, but I honestly can't understand why they did it now when the market is screaming for micro-9mm guns, from Glock's 43 line to Sig's P365 which apparently was the best selling gun last year. I hope they do well with this, but the PPS and/or CCP deserve an update (with improved capacity) also.
Good looking pistol.
PDP uses Walther light trigger spring. That explain why the trigger is better than the PPQ.
When a factory version is available with threaded barrel and suppressor height sights I'm in for sure.
It takes Glock sights now so it won't be hard to find suppressor sights. Likewise it takes threaded barrels from earlier PPQ's.
@9mm Weiner This one is already pretty "tactical".
I'm a Noob but just Subscribed👍.
Great Video and hope to learn more about ammo 101.

@@GBGuns Will do👍,Single Father in Georgia (USA).
Got mine yesterday. Skagit Arms. 650 out the door.
I saw a well known website 👨🏻💻 offer a LE, military price of $520.00 with free S-H but it was a full size PDP. I prefer the smaller 4" Compact. The new PDP line will be popular. The PPQ guns never seemed as popular as expected. 🇩🇪
When does the 5" version come out?
I own both the PPQ M2 and PPS M2 models....but darn it, I want this one too!
Right??!!!!!
M1 for real Walther fanboys. Paddle for life! 🧐
@@69deputy I can’t tell if this is a diss or a compliment?! 🤪
Compliment I own several Walthers in various calibers but I can’t stand how they are abandoning the paddle mag release!
@@69deputy ahhh gotcha sorry about that! I prefer the paddle mag release too. So much easier for me to operate!!! Curious why Walther would abandon superiority!
Thank you very much for the informative video! Hello from Russia!
Privet! Walther odin is moich lyubimich! Vladeyu shestnstset variantov. (Da, ranshe uchil Russki, dazhe raz sluchil perevodchikom CENTER-T!)
@@GBGuns Not bad:) here's a small challenge for you - guess the Russian word and its meaning: ★◌▯△
Looks like a good double stack alternative to my PPS M.2 RMSc.
Apples and oranges! Can't compare those two.
@@ontarget1312 Care to explain? My PPS M.2 RMSc is pretty much everything I want in an EDC handgun. This is not a huge departure aside from the double stack mag which makes it heavier and less comfortable to carry.
@@jamesg8246 I have the PPS M2 non-optics ready and the PPQ M2. PDP is essentially an upgraded optics ready PPQ. Which is relative in size to the Glock 19, CZ -P10C, HK VP-9, M&P-9 ect. The PDP also comes in a larger variant comparable to a G-17 or duty size. PPS is a single stack subcompact=shorter barrel, shorter grip and thinner ( Glock 43, Mp Shield). A Walther PPQ subcompact, Glock 26, HK-VP9sk, are double stack subcompacts( compact - subcompact used differently by different brands). I'm sure eventually they will come out with the subcompact version. Only added thickness, keeping shorter barrel and grip. There is a big difference carrying my PPQ and my PPS, PPQ is harder to conceal.
@@fishfood8719 Yeah I'm happy with my PPS M2 as a daily carry.
Fishfood has beat me to it.
What is the curly cue symbol in front of the 'CA' ?. Mine doesn't have it. Also the stepped chamber is easier to illustrate with a spent round.
No spent rounds were available when this was filmed.
@@GBGuns based on the date of your vid I understand. Had a range day last Sunday and fired 4 different 9mm pistols. Very easy to tell which cases were from the PDP because of the mark left by that chamber stepping on both brass and nickle cases. I'm purposely avoiding calculating what I spent on ammo...
Good to know they'll all go bang when needed though...
Guess im old school the extent of Walther i own is P38 and PPK/S first gun i ever bought was a 1985 Walther P38 but the one i have now is a 1943. Thats a nice gun though.
