- Walther PD380 - Any issues? Maybe. How does it compare with the CCP M2 .380?

I loved your review. I was considering the PD380. I bought a Ruger Security 380 instead. I am a senior with large and arthritic hands. I will start carrying now that I have a gun I am able to manipulate and shoot well. I appreciate your candor.
As an option take a look at Magtech 38 SPL SHORT. That ammo runs in regular 38 SPL with energy of a 32 ACP. Low recoil and people can keep their holster, speed loader...
@robertarnold3358, thank you for watching and adding your thoughts.
Very informative video. You pointed all of the things I would like and those I wouldn't, especially the slide mounted safety and lack of a slide release. Those are deal breakers. Thanks for posting this!
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thanks for your thorough and honest review.
Thank you for watching.
Definitely touched all the fine points along with the targets Rider. Great job!
As always, thanks for watching.
Thank you for the video.
As always, thanks for watching.
I don't understand the problem with the safety. It is basically the same system used on the Walther P22, (and PK380) where a drum rolls up and covers the firing pin enough that the hammer cannot touch it. I've been shooting my P22's for over 20 years now and never had a problem with decocking the hammer. The Walther PPK and PPK/S has a rolling firing pin block safety, but is a little different because it actually does automatically drop the hammer when engaged. So Walther has a history of using this system. What makes it unsafe or unfamiliar?
Totally agree I think it’s people talking who do not have experience with the P22 or are either afraid, never owned a hammer fired pistol. Ignorance is bliss
@mcdoctorglock, I'm a 1911 guy, so I like manual safeties. But there are many folks who won't train using a safety. And a slide-mounted safety is much more awkward to use than a frame-mounted safety like those on a 1911-style pistol. Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts.
@RidersRange this gun is definitely for more experienced users. I picked one up because im specifically looking for a thin DA/SA to CC. To my knowledge only springfield(XDE) and sig(p239)have attempted to make that configuration. Both are discontinued. If you go down to .380 you have the thunder 380/tpr380 or ppk. I have a tpr380 but the gas blowback design sucks. It hurts to shoot as much as my 44mag.
This pistol isnt exactly what i want but its the closest ive found. Wont carry a striker for my (completely unfounded) fear of a round going off on its own. Im comfortable with hammer down, round in the chamber.
Thank you. I'd compare that to the Beretta 80x cheetah as well. Seems fairly similar dimensions
Dimensions are somewhat similar, but a substantially different price point. As always, thanks for watching.
I heard the reference again to "asking Alice." Lol. Thanks for the video.
I''m starting with a white rabbit, so it was appropriate to go ask Alice. Though it seems very few folks seem to get the reference. Does that make me (us?) old? Thanks for watching.

Nice
Thank you once again for watching.
Maybe you mentioned it in the video, but how was the recoil impulse? Walthers seem to be a bit snappy in general.
I didn't mention recoil impulse because I didn't find it to be anything out of the ordinary for that caliber and size. But then again, it's a subjective issue. Thanks for watching.
An informative and well delivered review👍
Any chance you are Walter Cronkite’s grandson? You have a similar cadence in your chords(voice)😊…if you know “Alice”-you would undoubtedly know Walter too🗣️
Ahh, yes. "And that's the way it is.....".
Good review, but you left out one more 380 in about the same class, the Ruger security 380. I used to own the CCP380 and thought it was a nice gun but switched to the Ruger. I do agree with you though on the thanks but no thanks on the PD380.
I didn't include the Ruger because I don't have one. (It's on order at my local FFL.) I did test the Ruger a while back (borrowed gun) and it has a lot to offer. Thanks for watching.
I held one of these the other day but I didn’t like it enough to take it home. Not sure if I like the mag release and letting the hammer down feels a little funny. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts.
Seems like a Mini-German Beretta 92. Thanks for the review!😊
Thanks for watching.
No slide release is an odd choice.
I agree. Thanks for watching.
As is the return to the shrimpy paddle mag release which they ditched on the 1st generation P99 20 years ago. Walther already knew that the American market hates the paddle so I have no idea what they think they are doing.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017there’s nothing wrong with the paddle. Y’all just bitch to bitch.
Paddle release is king.
Makes more sense ergonomically. Functional better than one side button release.
Paddle is left AND right release for righty and lefty, strong hand and weak hand. If your a dopey pepper than you need paddles when yer strong hand gets cut opening a can of tuna.
Common sense paddle release 👍👍
@@johndeere1951a Paddle release is like the metric system; makes sense but no one in America likes it.
Is this another Walther that’s actually made by Umarex?
One could almost come to that conclusion. Thanks for watching.
I'm ordering a GLOCK
G25 Gen3 .380 tonight
for these reasons:
No slide safety lever.
4.02" barrel.
**15 & 17 rd magazine**.
Gen5 like trigger.
I like the Gen3 finger grooves with traction front strap.
Wider double stack grip.
Larger, squared trigger guard for flush light mounting, and room for gloved finger.
G19 size.
Sorry Walther.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Boa noite aqui no Brasil tambem fiz essa escolha uma Glock G25 de terceira geração arma excelente top, já tenho uma MP 380 Shield EZ, tambem excelente, força e honra a todos nós 👍🏼👏🤠🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
@claitonpscheidt6801, Obrigado por assistir meu vídeo.
@@RidersRange aqui no Brasil como falam sou CAC já a 23 anos no meu estado de SC, e sou e sempre fui um entusiasta no mundo do tiro esportivo e das armas ,pena a perseguição que estamos sofrendo por esse governo desarmamentista tá complicado mas estamos lutando pra manter nossos direitos ao acesso as armas, saudações aos amigo 👍🏼👏🤠🇧🇷
@claitonpscheidt6801, eu te desejo o melhor.
Nice review, I’d rather carry a 9mm,,,,Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. I also prefer 9mm for carry, but many folks opt for the reduced recoil of the .380.
@@RidersRange I can understand ,,,most 380’s are too small for me, uncomfortable to shoot. I do enjoy watching your videos, always very informative and no BS! Thanks, keep them coming !
I got one of these Monday and took it to the range today, I love how it shoots. I also have 9 mm guns, but wanted to get one of these. I had debated getting a Ruger,, but my gun smith talked me out of it. He told me they would be uncomfortable to shoot. So I will definitely carry this one sometimes as I do switch up my carry guns. Sometimes I use revolvers. I love the 357 7 rounds and 44 Magnum.
It seems some Walther engineers got drunk and designed a crappy pistol. That manual safety that doesn't decock is a tragedy looking for a place to happen.
I'm with you on that. Thanks for watching.
This looks to be an Umarex pistol vs a true Walther.
There Walther goes again, answering questions no one asked. Why can't they actually deliver the guns their diehard fans have been begging for for years? (I.e. a P365 competitor, either a PPS M3 or a PPS/PDP hybrid).
