I've got a couple of PDPs, genuinely like them a lot. Everything I look at I compare it to how much I like the Walthers to see if the extra money would really be worth it. Didn't know I'd like the PDP as much as I do when I first saw it 3 years ago but the PDP is my favorite pistol to shoot.
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 Stream light 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. - G😝🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😜🤑🤑🤑
That's a tough one, but I am really leaning towards this pistol. The more I shoot it the more I fall in love. They did such a good job balancing the gun out.
@@PEWPEWNATION ohhh, gotcha.. my mistake.. i saw the comment about it still being snappy and assumed it was.. otherwise, there's no reason to think it would be less snappy. lol
@@PEWPEWNATION I think it’s too soon to speak on the pricing since nobody’s got one locally. At least where I I’m at. I tried 5 places Friday and Saturday. I’m assuming the street price will be $1600-$1700
@@PEWPEWNATIONI can understand that. I’ve handled the rival s vs the q5 and idk what it is but Walther’s just feel better than their clones. I’m willing to pay the extra coins. Im a bit biased as a PDP owner. So don’t mind me
@Vante512 I love the PDP line as well so I get it 100%. I am also a big Canik fan though so I am torn. Lol I am always a huge advocate of not every gun is right for everyone. You will not go wrong with a Walther!
@@PEWPEWNATION then it's worth it. IMO the $1899. price tag on the steel frame is nuts, though.. which sucks.. because if it was only $200-250 difference, i'ld be all over it!
The PDP Pro SD is the other model with the performance trigger from the factory

I’d like to see Walther make a AR pistol, rifle and PCC
Very nice.

Great job. Like always. So that means new pdp match is better than springfield echelon?
I would take the PDP Match over the Echlon for sure.
very good gun but very expensive I think that with a little more you get something better. but everyone buys what they like good video
I think the Polymere version isn't horrible as far as price. The steel frame is a bit outrageous though. Thanks for the support!
Why is this $250 more than the Pro sd. Seems like that's where the value is.
Not entirely sure.
All I can tell is it’s about 3 OZ heavier with a different slide and no threaded barrel.
dude it's over $1800.. way more than $250 over the pro sd
@@cornbreadbrown4961That’s the Steel Frame. This was a the Polymer version.
Which would you choose between the PDP Match polymer or the pro SD? Having a tough time deciding. Looking for something to fill multiple roles.
That's a tough one, but I am really leaning towards this pistol. The more I shoot it the more I fall in love. They did such a good job balancing the gun out.
Thank you. I bought the SD and kind of wish I got the match… I think I’ll be getting the match!
Amazed at how snappy that thing still is.
It isn't horrible. It isn't comped or anything just slide lightening cuts on the front.
😂😂😂 you right! After all you can add weight and add a great trigger but an obsolete design remains an obsolete design.
Worth the 1k price? If this goes on sale for ~800 or down to where the sale prices on the PdP pro are of course no brainer ;)
I think so!
it's just over $1800 at my local shop.. and the MSRP is $1899... if you find it for less than $1000.. you better grab it. lol
@cornbreadbrown4961 this one in the video is not the Steel Frame version.

Is it just me... or did the thumbnail show the gun on a pile of cocaine?
Maybe..... got to stay awake somehow! 😂
@@PEWPEWNATION Haha. Gotta do what you gotta do, man. Thanks for the vid.
@@HipsterTactical itbsort of worked for Scarface. 🤣 Thanks for your support!!
@@PEWPEWNATION hahaha. Tony Montana has long been a personal model for success, stability and happiness.
Wait till you shoot the steel frame lol
I have shot it. It is bad ass but the price is a bit steep I think.

@Vante512 MSRP is $800 more than the polymer version. To me, that is just too much. Especially when you can pick up a Canik SFX Rival-S for sub $1000.

$1800 plus is CRAZY for what that gun is. lol this gun is for suckers. IMO sweet gun.. but only worth about $1k
This pistol is the polymer version, which is much less expensive than the steel frame.

@cornbreadbrown4961 I agree 100%. I think Walther was smoking some good stuff when they decided to bump the steel frame price that high!
