Outstanding review. Thank you. Down to earth. No nonsense.
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 CZcams 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 CZcams) 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 (CZcams) to ensure you get the latest up-to-date information on any weapon ....you paying for it. Might as well do your homework.

No BS review. Facts. I'm blessed to own PPQ M2 Tac Ops and will be keeping it. Just got my PDP and can't wait to put it through the paces. My very first pistol was a Walther P99 that will never leave me.
Great video. Looks like a real keeper.
This one is on my "must have" list!
This man's presentation should be shown to millennials and later generations as a lesson in how to express oneself with clarity and professionalism. This is how to communicate and speak effectively.

Ok boomer 😂
Okay, grandpa
While I do agree that his communication skills and presentation are exceptional. Please, quit hating on people to make yourself feel better. It’s a sign of low self-esteem and lack of confidence. There are bad asses in every generation.
Lol go to bed grandpa
In my opinion one the very best reviews on the Walther PDP. I own a full size 5 inch-barrel. Unblemished. Nothing but praises. Great video. Great input.
Absolutely love this pistol. Walther knocked it out of the park with the PDP. Great review by the way👍🏼
Great review. I, hope you keep this channel professional. I've seen so many immature gun channels.
You did a great job explaing this handgun and it's features.
😀
Excellent overview and presentation. Thank you very much. I have the 5 inch full-size and might be looking to get a 4 inch compact. Thanks again for this awesome information. I agree with all that you said.
Thank you. I'll be picking this up this week
As always, a quality review. This one has alot going for it especially having serrations that really make a difference and aren't just for show.
But it has one thing that makes it pointless to buy. The optic cut has no locking cuts for plates. If you add an optic it will eventually fall off from the screws breaking. Might as well just get a ppq and get the slide milled.
The PDP's trigger reset feels stronger than the force it takes to pull the trigger.
Very nice!
Excellent review!

Fantastic review as always!
The reversible mag release button is sweet. My PPQ M1 is a sweet shooter but as a southpaw I liked the ambi paddle mag release
I'm a paddle fan & my M1's aren't going anywhere but they will have company here soon with a PDP 👍 It feels like a larger VP9SK to me & will be a great addition.
Handled one yesterday at my lgs. Very good feel in the hand. Grip texture unique but very grippy. Looks very top heavy due to the overall width of the slide, but it doesn't feel top heavy. In fact the guy is a featherweight. It weighs 24.4 oz for the compact and 25.4 for the full size. I carry a Staccato C, single stack that weighs 26.5! Finally the trigger is a marvel, light, short reset. And luckily it takes Glock 43 sights because it comes with 3 dot plastic sights, and the optics plate.
Love the way it looks and grip texture is my favorite I’ve ever felt stock but damn it looks so flippy slide is huge
Allen is the best.
Excellent review sir thanks. I subscribed
I have a 4” compact version with a RMR on it and just so everyone knows yes it uses Glock sights I pulled my black out XL silencer height sights on it pulled right out of my 19X....and yes this gun is the nicest one made this year (in its class at least)
Can’t hardly wait to get my hands on to one of those beauties! 😍
NEED. WANT. MUST-HAVE.
Love Walther
My next purchase, I don’t need another gun but I want this one.
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.
Great review! Your presence in front of the camera is beyond respectable.
Good job great gun thanks.
Just got my hands on one yesterday and it did not disappoint...
I got the opposite opinion. I’ve been drooling over this and finally got one. I bought this and the arex delta gen 2 at the same time and for me the arex was the better shooter. I really wanted to like the pdp more
@Charles Lindberg chpws might have plates
Great review. I wish there was also another light source on the other side so that the gun isn’t mostly in the shadow throughout the video.
In the top 3 triggers
One word WALTHER, GERMAN ENGINEERING, NO ONE COMES CLOSE
Thoughts on HK?

Excellent. Thx.
On order!
Hi
This pistol seems to have the same positive attributes as the Beretta APX other than the optic mount, yes ? I’ll look into the full size version when possible.
Thanks
Dave
Awesome video very informative and thanks for sharing!
I just got my 4.5" full size,loving it ,just not happy with Walther customer service,I know with the covid bs going today there will be delays in shipping you the mounting plate but I left 1 vocal message and 3 emaims to give me an update but no reply from them,its been 3 weeks waiting so far,they said it would take 5 to 10 days byt nothing ,anyone else still waiting for the mounting plate to arrive?
Thank you, excellent presentation. Subscribed.
I have a PPQ and I ordered extra magazines and it said PPQ/PDP compact on the package.
The way this man talks makes everything very clear and he talks with authority 😎💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
This American like the the paddle magazine release!!!!
Like olde English between vandalia and tip city?
The sights are also interchangeable with anything that fits a Glock.
I'm waiting for my PDP to come in. I have a good feeling we're going to get along very well.
I got a 🚔 price PDP compact 9mm with 3 15rd magazines. It should be delivered in 5-7 working days. 📦. I'm looking forward to it.
@@DavidLLambertmobile Received my PDP. Extremely happy, but not overly impressed. Sights gotta go. Easy fix. Received my optic plate, but not into red dots. (vision issues) 8 out of 10 stars.
@@bamahi7142 I bought this and the arex delta gen 2 at the same time and after my range trip I’m not sure if I’m disappointed with the pdp or impressed with the arex. Either way the arex was the better shooter. I’ve got astigmatism too and the only dots I can run are the rmr and sro with the 1moa reticle, the starburst makes it a 9 or so moa dot, a 2 moa dot is twice that.
@@jt2475 The PDP hasn't toppled my VP9. Comes close, but no cigar. I love both, but the only one that steals the show is my Staccato C. (for now)
@@bamahi7142 staccato makes a great gun. I have the 2019 staccato p with the 4.15” barrel and it shoots better than my WC experior compact double stack for a grand less. My favorite striker is my mr920 hands down. I really wanted this pdp to shine but it shoots just like the ppq m2, just looks different
PDP mags and ppq mags are the same and interchangeable
I think the canik TP9 elite has a great trigger..
Picked up 2 caniks last yr the triggers are 👍🏽
Caniks have the best striker fired triggers out of the box in my experience
@@wildballistics5149 unless u have tried s q5/q4 or a pdp with a dynamic trigger option from walther u havrnt felt the best... yet
@@boomee78 Finally got to the range with my PDP yesterday and man what a sweet trigger! This is my first Walther and after a couple hours at the range I really love it and want to get my hands on other models now. What’s the trigger option you mentioned?
Ok looks great, but what is up with the polymer guide rod? I don't get it.
Don’t get me wrong, I definitely like metal guide rods. Having said that I have never ever seen a polymer guide rod failure...🤷♂️
Looks a little chilly in that studio...
Either that or he just got back from the baltic sea
I’ve never felt a more comfortable gun.
God I wish we could get that in California.
Gotta get outa there my dude😐run, Forrest, run!🏃
With that idiot you have for a Governor, you’ll be limited to sling shots for self defense before long…..
Great no non-sense review. Oh that they all could be this plain and informative. All you need to know about the gun, with a individual who plainly enjoys telling you about it. Thanks for the simplicity. Now to find some one who can sell me the gun.
Need more light on the pistol it is a bit dark to see the gun
My concern is it too bulky to carry inside the waist for a concealed carry? It seems to have a little extra width as compared to other compacts on the market and would appear to have a propensity to print a little easier? I have not got my hands on one just yet so I'm shooting from the hip here...pun intended.. perhaps finding the right holster to accommodate the extra width might just be the key...what are you're thoughts Allen?
I bought this gun after drooling over it for a month. When my gun shop didn’t have rmr in stock, I used that to get an arex delta gen 2. I put 7 mags through each gun and the arex was the better shooter. Straighter and softer. I couldn’t believe because it’s so much lighter and slimmer. I’m not a fan of the way the delta looks but it’s definitely the shooter
I carry my PDP full size 5 inch-barrel concealed on a IWB every day, no problem. I am 6'0" tall 220 lbs for body frame reference.
@@jt2475 Jesus Christ,we get it already!!!!🤨
SUPER... ❤
If you could have only one, which one would you chose? Walther PDP Pro SD or Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS / Glock 47
Unfortunately german law doesn’t allow me to buy more than one kind of handgun, my first 9mm is the Walther Q5 match sf Expert and I really like it. The second 9mm has to be equipped with an reddot so I can buy it for another dicipline. (Only sport shooting, but I want the second one more just for fun)
I like the feeling of the Glock, the pdp´s trigger would be better but mags and competition holsters are more available for the Glock
I own a G19 Gen 4 and a PDP Compact with a red dot. Thanks to the trigger and ergonomics I shoot better with the PDP. Both have been 100% reliable (~1000 rounds in PDP, ~2000 rounds with the G19). In fact I shoot my PDP better than any other handgun.
@@scepticalwalker3984 thank you!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👌
And I recently said that I have no reason to buy a new gun...maybe I was wrong haha 😅
Always be reasons to buy a new gun bud.
The only negative: no locking lugs for the optic 🤦♂️
Not a problem
Looks like its heavy on recoil for how heavy and big it is.
Nah, it's not bad at all. Remember the Walther stepped chamber adds 30-40fps to your chosen load, almost converting it to +P.
It's no heavy. It's actually lighter than the outgoing PPQ.
Walther PDP full size 4 inc or Glock 45?
Walther 100% I have both and out of the box the Walther is a great shooter. Advantage with the glock 45 is all the after market support.
@@ggreloaded5269 thank you so much
@@user-lm3uc9eu8i no problem man, cant go wrong either way but that PDP is honestly amazing. I had to change out the trigger and stipple my G45 and its still not as nice as my PDP in my opinion. When you get a chance hold one of those PDP’s.
@@ggreloaded5269 thank you . I have problem because there are no so many whalthers on my country!! Only this is a problem
I bought this gun and the arex delta m gen 2 on the same day. I took them both out to the range a few days later and although I only put 7 mags through each gun, I like the arex better. For me I shot it straighter and the recoil was less noticeable. I was faster with it. I really wanted to like the pdp more because I like the design and looks better but the arex was the better shooter and for it to be slimmer and lighter with less recoil I’m impressed with this little budget gun.
I need an Arex badly. It's #1 on my next-to-get list.
The gun appears to shoot snappy as fuck. I still wont understand why companies like Walther, Sig, and many others dont address bore axis by equipping their handguns with smaller/ lighter slides. I see no benefit to having a brick on a frame 🤷♂️
It is snappy. I got this and the arex delta gen 2 on the same day and the slimmer, lighter arex was the softer shooter. Gun store didn’t have an rmr in stock so I picked up the arex instead and I’m glad I did.
Man up and it's just fine.
Do some manly work. Weak
@@darylragland1502 Good contribution boss.
$49.99 + shipping for other plates than the 1 for free, make sure you know which one you need... OUCH!
Yeah, but think of it this way, if they put all the plates in for “free” think of what the price increase would be for the gun. And then you would be paying for multiple plates you would likely never use. It’s a very smart thing Walter did by not including the plates.
@@Coonazz791 That was the plate price for the PPQ M2 Q4, I just received the email today. They use to include all 3 plates and then stopped and there wasn’t a price drop. It’s a smart move in their part to end up getting $50 for a extra plate I’ll give you that one.
@@usmc6429 ok, good point lol. Didn’t know they stopped putting the plates in the Q4
Too bad the optic cut doesn't have any cut outs to keep optic plates from moving and breaking screws.
nothing will break
@@fabir1675
There are no relief cuts in the slide to keep shear force off of the screws. Look at the video that work the trigger uploaded. You'll see what I'm talking about.
Theres too much movement between the slide and whatever plate one might use.
@@bangersandmags6729 I have seen his video and it is a joke. He has not even used the original plate, which fits in tight.
Dont let yourself fool by a video without any calculations behind it ;-)
Just wait for a few month, if you have concerns and you will see everything is fine.
@@fabir1675
Lmao. The plate is irrelevant. There's nothing to keep shear force off of the screws. It's the biggest problem with optic mounted slides and that cut is a huge design flaw. I noticed this before his video. Like I said, time will tell.
@@bangersandmags6729 a thight fit will keep shear force off the screws...It is not like friction only works in one direction.
Your move CZ 👀
CZ already has optic ready striker fired and hammer fired guns. Walther is late to the game bro
@@bangersandmags6729 how. They had the ppq...
@@FDNY101202 the pdp just released. I've had a P10 optic ready for over a year and they were released late 2018. Ppq isn't the topic, frankly neither is CZ. That's why the pdp is pointless. The Q series is way better just from seeing the slide cut. The pdp cut is incredibly flawed.
@@bangersandmags6729 ok bud. It's really not that serious anyway. 😒
@@FDNY101202
Who said it was?
Pulling the trigger against your hand? LOL...wow. But yeah, nice gun.
Wish the sights were better .
Better than glock at least
@@darylragland1502 true lol
@@tacticalbt1023 they expect people to be using a rmr or something.
@@seanm8665 yep but everyone doesn’t lol
At least it takes full size Glock(17/19) sights, so the sky is the limit for replacement iron sights
Sir, with all due respect and sincerity, and with regard to your weapons handling, I think you should NOT point the gun and your own hand and pull the trigger, EVER. I’m not trying to be a hater or a troll, but recognize that videos influence the behavior of new shooters. Doing this violates all of the safety rules and encourages complacency. Anyone can make mistakes, so habits matter. In the hands of well-intentioned good people and yes even experts, so called “unloaded guns” kill people all too often. Thank you for the great review. With respect sir.
all guns are loaded until you make sure when you're holding it it is definetely empty. then you could do whatever you please.
@@agrisizkulak Technically yes, however there is still value in avoiding to break the Cooper rules as much as possible when handling even unloaded firearms. It's because we're humans. As long as you're super focused nothing will happen. However, problems tend to arise when we're distracted or stressed. We also operate on habits, and the more often we deviate from what is favourable, the higher the likelihood we will do it the wrong way when stressed/distracted. And when talking negligent discharges the tolerance is zero. And as someone else pointed out, our behaviour is also recognized by others potentially influencing their own behaviour aswell. A professional will know what to do, when to do it and what to avoid, however most gun owners don't handle a firearm daily and know the cooper rules inside out. There's no benefit in showing them a firearm pointed at oneself during handling it and even pulling the trigger. I personally like to practice muzzle and trigger discipline even when I know the gun is unloaded, because it builts habits that might prevent a catastrophy one day. However things change when the gun is disassembled to a degree that prevents it from potentially firing a round, obviously. That's at least my way looking at it.
One of the four basic firearm safety rules is 1= treat all guns as if they are loaded. Not some, all.
Jesse James wrong....
My question is, is this you’re real review. Or is it what Walther wants us to hear?
Could be but I have a ppq and it's great. Wish I could afford this one
Do you only watch one review before buying something?
I have one and I’m not impressed. Love the way it looks, hate the way it shoots. Snappy for how bulky it is.
NOPE !!! Nice but I'll stick with my near mint two Walther P99 Gen 1's that clearly defined the polymer Wonder 9 market just my opinion though !!!
I don't see the benefit of pressing the trigger with your hand in front of the muzzle.
Shouldn't we be role models of gun safety?
Its 'Person Defense Pistol." PDP.
Um, yeah. Go to Walther’s site, and then proceed to eat crow.
@Papa Bleach Yeah I looked it up awhile ago and it said Personel Defense Pistol man. I guess you cannot rely on Google all the time. Not sure why your being a asshole about it. My bad. Sheez.
Ya fuckin dingus
You lost me when you dry fired the pistol with your hand directly over the muzzle. Firearms safety rule 1= Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
That's actually incorrect. If that were the case you could never clean your weapon. At some point, when you are by yourself, at a table with no ammo around and you know your gun is unloaded, it's fine to actually treat it as if it is unloaded.
@@chucknorris5141 no I am correct, it is one of the four fundamental firearms safety rules. A pistol is disassembled before cleaning and with most striker fired pistols , dry fired while pointed in a safe direction, which is not in the palm ✋ of one’s hand. I have been a LEO for 17 years and every citizen I encountered who shots themselves with an ND was positive their gun was unloaded.
Oh lord the CZcams safety police. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@chucknorris5141 I disagree with that. A firearm is treated as it’s always loaded. That’s Gun safety 101.
@@jessejames7189 you’re absolutely right, a firearm is always 100% loaded even if you’re 100% sure it’s not.
