Small Hands, Conceal Carry Baby PDP: Walther PDP F-Series 3.5in
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 04. 2023
- It's not only for females! If you have smaller hands, the F series PDP from Walther may be a good choice for you. Also, if you want to conceal carry a Walther, and you cannot find a Walther PPQ SC, this 3.5 inch barrel version may be a little easier to carry than the larger versions. Except, the grip is still the same size. As of Early April 2023, this is the smallest Walther PDP available.

If you’re a man and wouldn’t buy this gun simply because the F stands for female, get over yourself!! It’s not like it’s hot pink! It’s a great gun, better than the majority of the other guns this size and caliber. My gunsmith has one of these and says it’s excellent! I always kept the small back strap on my M&P’s, so they would be more comfortable for my daughter, girlfriend and sister to shoot. I must be to in touch with my feminine side!!
Couldn't agree with you more, I purchased one of these in the 4 inch variant Monday. The guy behind the counter tried to sell me on other firearms, but my mind was made up. This gun is fantastic and will be my edc when I receive my holster and optic plate.
I have to get one of these. Perfect CCW. Awesome looking, appears more “executive” style than the regular PDP. Couldn’t care less who it was marketed towards. At least I have small 🙌
IMO Walther nailed the whole PDP line. The "F" is solid but I do agree the marketing has seriously missed the mark. Average and smaller hands are not gender specific. It is nice that more ladies are taking advantage of this quality offering though...and the "free" optic is very nice.
Walther should have named it, PDP- S
Spot on!

My compact pdp is my edc. i think Walther and Beretta (with the 80x) did themselves a disservice by marketing these guns toward women. These things are awesome pistols regardless and I'm a 6,2" 325lb 40 year old man and still want both 😂
The 4" version is really awesome. My wife's go to pistol.
My at-home pistol.
Will be getting the 3.5 soon for my summertime EDC than the compact version, it will be easier to conceal, last year I was trying everything to conceal my PDP 4" but with this I can appendix carry with little to no discomfort
Looking forward to you PDP micro compact review in the future : D
I didn't know they are marketing a micro😊
@@alanphillips1610 Just a hypothetical
I have very large hands. Size 8 gloves. My current summer carry is the S&W shield plus with a 3" barrel. The pdp is a beefier gun than the sheild
Great review. Thanks for your amazing job
I saw one of these a couple weeks ago and it felt soooo good in my hand.
Bobcat large hands in my PDP F 3.5 works fine.
PDP is a winner
Good, thx
Putting the pdp pro mags in this making it an 18+1 is a must!
The PPQ has faded in the rear view mirror.
PDP models are near perfection in 3 different frame sizes and barrel lengths of 3.5 to 5 inches.
Beautiful textures, ergonomics, quality, reliability, a few colors, very strong company heritage with war and peace time designs. A best of breed pistol line.
Prices will only go up. Buy now, Collect many. PPQ is history. Keep it in the kitchen drawer for back door cookie monsters.
😂I remember hearing that song and dance when the PPQ came out. Glock killer, perfect ergonomics, supreme accuracy and on and on. Now it’s “in the rear view mirror “.

Looks like a good quality pistol. Accurate shooting at the start and end. Just say F series = "fine grip". Good review 👍
I like the comparison of the 3 guns. Gives me a nice idea because I am thinking of getting a Walther.
FYI - the PPQ sc is no longer in production. If you don't mind a lower capacity single stack then take a look at their PPS.
@@BigJon410 I have the PPS M2 and it's the most comfortable pistol I've ever carried. I've rotated through the P365, M&P Shield Plus, Glock 43X and it always comes down to either my Walther CCP or the PPS.
Put the PPS slide on this grip and add paddle mag release…COME ON WALTHER
Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Definitely need to purchase this pistol. Hoping the prices go down some.
Happy Easter too you and God bless 🙏
What type of inside holsters do you :%⁵ recommended for the PDP-F-series?
Will the PDP slide fit and function on the PPQ sc? Since they’re both 3.5” barrels?
My plate and Ameriglo Haven came in 9 days. Also, the red dot comes with a plate, so you actually get two plates with this promotion.
How do you like that site?
Should have gone with PDP S for Slim
Problem is, there ain't much 'slim' about it though.
Agreed.
S, SF or something indicating the smaller frame would have been better
Why?
the F should have just stood for Fuck Yeah!! This is a contender for me for EDC. Was into the Canik MC9 but they have let that gun out with serious QC problems. Trying to decide between this and the PDP-compact maybe. Really comes down to whether I want the chunkier grip on the compact.
I love watching the preview of your videos hahaha EagleEye! You must own a gun shop or something. I love this pistol. On their page it does say ALL hands and then it says EVERYONE in the description of the grip, trigger, & the slide saying it's 20% easier to rack. I had both PDP's in front of me and left with the PDP F in 3.5 like you have here. When I turned 21 I had the Walther P99 a couple decades ago lol I loved it, also bought the original Springfield XD and now I have a Springfield Elite 3.8 in 10mm. I look forward to buying the Holosun that screws right on the PDP F and the slide cerrations match right up! Only thing that sucks is I have a Tyrant for a Governor in my state of Washington State so I have the 10 round magazines. My sister lives in Oregon so ill have them send a couple magazines to her place. F you Gov. Jay Inslee ya snake
I'm waiting for the PDP slim or sc whatever they are going to call it. I hope it's not too much longer, if they bring one out at all.
PPS 3
@@Chief1297 I'd be all over that!
Even further than just smaller hands- I have bigger hands but shorter fingers and trigger reach, grip circumference, slide stop location, etc., are all important to me.
Example is golf gloves- they make one named "Cadet" in all sizes and it is designed for shorter fingers.
I think the PDP-F is a cool option. But is the slide of a PDP a little wide for conceal carry. I ask because another reviewer was suggesting it for home defense use and said you wouldn't want to carry it.
❤
Wish they would offer this with standard length trigger reach.
love the johnny wad trigger guard
Is that promotion with the included optic still going now?
They also claim on this F Series that the slide is 20% easier to rack!! One thing I like about Walther is the hi tech machining and how the rounds are chambered to make sure ALL of the gases are going into that round and you are getting a bit more FOS then other pistols of the same barrel size
Looking forward to trying one. It's a close up decision no doubt. But what I've seen so far. It seems to be a bit more accurate.
FOS?
Great review and gun. In Your opinion which one is better: canik mc9 or pdp f?
So far only one works reliably, the Walther. They are not in the same size category though.
The f sereis is the same size as the normal compact i terms of carry
Walther and HK designs are similar?
Great review Hammerstriker I bet it’s not cheaper lol the only thing about Walther is they have other people make their stuff and they put their name on it and no lifetime warranty
Nice gun, but the slide is too bulky and hard to conceal.
I'm a huge Walther fan! I already own a PPs M2 and a CCP. Did you say that there's a 10 round variant of the F-Series?
They have 10 round mags for CA, or anyone who wants a 10 round mag.
I like the pdp series EXCEPT THEY ARE THICK IN THE SLIDE
How much thicker than a PPS would you say?
@@IamGroot786 thicker than a Glock
Thanks for another great video! The F-Series is... Fantastic! I hear you on the lack of a "micro-compact." I have a PPS-M3 concept on my channel. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks again for your always-great reviews!
Yeah, wish they made a 4” slim PPS double stack.
Can one use the smaller backstraps from the F to put on the Regular PDP?
No
@@johndeere1951a Awe shucks. Someone also told me one could get an F lower to use with my regular upper.
Bull sh, I'm a big guy, This gun just fits. feels better than a Glock, or a Berretta, I have both. grip feels like a 1911, But way better. = better groups, best trigger out of the box. adjustable sights Best EDC I've ever had, and I've had a lot. Blows my storm away. Glock 43x not even close, even with a performance trigger. The reset on this gun is stupid for a 3 1/2" Yah, you can buy a full size pro range gun better, But not an EDC.
Please do a comparison with Glock 43x Walther PDP F 3.5
The thing is you think it's gonna be small but it ain't, a p365 is small! 😂 But great peace tho 💪
You're right for sure. Yeah, the length is shorter while it's just as wide and tall as any "M-Series" compact PDP. It's clearly time to introduce a PPS M3 like the concept shown on my channel for a true, high-capacity micro 9mm.
I have the 4" compact PDP. I couldn't buy the female version. They should've called it the PDP-S for short. Bad marketing decision to call it the female
It was designed for women--were they supposed to disguise that? If they had, how would it have reached its intended demographic?
@@HotVoodooWitch Wow you really need that to be explained? With as many women shooters as there are nowadays no gun company should market any model specifically for men or women.. They should rather focus the marketing onto frame/hand size. There's many men that have girly and size hands but are not gonna want to buy a gun made for a girl. By doing that you're cutting out a huge demographic of buyers. It's much smarter to call it the PDP-S for small or short rather than F for female
You have an insecurity issue. Idgaf what they call it; if it fits well in my hand and I shoot is good that’s all that matters. Who gives a fuck who it’s marketed towards?
Who cares? Only a moron would make something of it. I have a Glock 48 with a smaller grip than the Walther.
You wouldn’t buy the f version because it says “f”. That’s prettyyy gay
I’m a Guy who served this Country had various careers as a roofer, and welder, and shipyard pipe-fitter - I have average hands with the grip strength of a freakn Gorilla - this exact firearm fells F’ing great in my hands. Soft sensitive Guys who have an issue with its name or intended group are Pussies - it’s flat out an amazing firearm !
Don't buy a Glock and upgrade it, if you ever have a shoot, lawyers will trout you made yourself a killing machine. Better to buy the PDP 3 1/2 " 4 " full size your still getting a performance trigger, and a better feel, right out of the box. Once you put 1000 to 2000 rounds through it the trigger gets even better. the reset is the best I've shot Loud, and crisp My CCW. EDC. NO BS.
Walther should have done something like Glock with the SF designation.I mean it shouldn’t threaten you’re manhood to use a gun with an F on it but I can see it putting some guys off,if just for the possibility of your buddies giving you crap.
Pps 3 everything the same PPS slide with this grip plus paddle mag….
I can say if you buy this either expect to keep it forever or know you will give it away when you’re done with it. They have next to no trade or resale value. They aren’t bad guns but no one wants them.
No one wants them? They're selling plenty off them!
They should just send a bunch of plates to each gun store to avoid them having to ship all the plates out. Super annoying! I may get a threaded barrel for mine and a flat face trigger well see, I get the call anyday to pick her up, I thought the F on the Walther PDP was just saying her pronoun BS 😂😂😂
I'm first to like.
