Walther PDP

Walther Arms, a renowned German firearms manufacturer with over 100 years of experience, introduced the Walther PDP in 2021. The company developed the pistol to meet the demand for compact, lightweight carry guns with a slim profile and low-profile sights, which provide a good balance of concealability, firepower, and accuracy. Constructed of high-quality materials, the PDP pistol is designed to be reliable and durable, with a long service life, demonstrating Walther Arms' commitment to innovation and quality.

Behaviour & construction

The PDP is a striker-fired polymer frame pistol chambered in 9mm with a 15-round magazine capacity. What sets it apart from the competition is its pre-cocked striker system allowing for a shorter and lighter trigger pull, resulting in a faster and more accurate shot. The trigger safety ensures that the gun will not fire unless the trigger is fully depressed, providing the user with an added layer of safety. The ambidextrous slide stop makes reloading a breeze, no matter which hand the shooter favours.

Fields of use

The Walther PDP is a handgun designed for personal protection and concealed carry. It is intended for use by those who want reliable and effective firearm self-defence in various situations. The gun is compact and lightweight, making it well-suited for law enforcement officers, military personnel, and civilians who need a firearm for personal protection. It is also suitable for recreational and competitive shooters who want a high-quality handgun for target shooting and other shooting sports.
