Very in-depth tutorial on how to field strip the PDP. I appreciate your calm tone and elementary explanation. This should be very helpful for beginners, and those new to the Walther platform. 💪🏽💯

[@UBRArsenal]

Hey Dope Boy P, that's why I try to post these types of videos. To give new people to the 2a community information about the new gun they just purchased. I'm glad you thought the video would be helpful for beginners and people new to the Walther platform. This is great feedback for future videos. Thanks as always for showing support and commenting on my videos. Have an awesome weekend.

[@dopeboyp3487]

@@UBRArsenal No doubt man. Enjoy your weekend as well!

[@TheFood42]

About as clear and concise of a training video as one can get. Yes, the beginning is a little elementary for long-time pistol owners, but the fact that nothing is skipped makes sure the steps reach all experience levels and no one is left out. I'm not new to firearms, but I am new to Walther, so I now have zero doubt how to strip and reassemble my new PDP. The zoom-in circles are extremely helpful. Thank you.

Thank you for this video. I have owned a PPQ M1 for 8 years, a PPQ L.R. for a little less than 1 year, and I just purchased the PDP full size with 4 1/2” barrel. I wish I would have had this clear of instruction a long time ago. Like others have mentioned, the zoom in is a very nice touch. I will be looking for more of your videos. Thanks again.

I like this video. Very simple and straight forward. As far as the spring, mine seems to have the ends of it with a slightly bigger black edge than the other end. Does the bigger end go towards the front hole, or the smaller one. I’m sure I’ll figure it out, but since I just watched your video, I thought l would ask. Thanks. I recently just bought one and shot about 200 rounds and want to clean it.

The only thing you didn't cover was: when do the two tabs on the side of the frame get pushed back up?

Hi Barry, the only reason I didn’t cover the two tabs getting pushed up is because the two tabs automatically go to the up position when you put the slide back on.
