It is awesome that Walther listened to the customer and rectified every single "drawback" on the PPQ. The PDP has a flattened slide, deep and extruding slide serrations for easier slide racking and a better grip texture. Most important, the PDP keeps the "iron sights" when using a red dot and it takes Glock sites. In my eyes and experience, the PDP is the very best polymer handgun on the market:

[@TheUltimateGhostface]

Ive always been on the fence about the PPQ , I know its a great handgun but it just never won me over so I opted to carry the CZ-P10C and I loved it and it also has a fantastic out of the box trigger for a striker handgun . I actually prefered the P-10C's trigger , its ergonomics and low bore axis over the PPQ . But then I saw the Walther PDP at my local FFL and was immediatly drawn to it . I asked if I could see it and if they mind if I dry fired the trigger . The very first thing about the PDP that really stood out for me is that excellent new grip texture I really like what Walther has done with the grip and it looks good at first glance the PDP has that custom stipple job look , I really like the design of the slide its really easy to rack the slide from anywhere . The trigger is really nice but not mind blowing like many people hype it up to be . The PDP's trigger is more on par to CZ's P10 trigger now , just my opinion . I really like that Walther opted to make the PDP compatible with Glock aftermarket sights which is a huge plus in my book . Aquiring extra Magazines , after market barrels , extended mag releases etc etc , are going to be convient conserding the cross compatibility the PDP had to the PPQ , good thinkinh Walther . Idk its been over 8 years since Ive bought anything from Walther but after I handled the PDP I just had to have it . I think its going to be my new cc

[@leoriskind4623]

[@robflores5172]

Held and played around with a PDP today at my local gun store and it was amazing. Easy for me to like as an HK VP9 user.

[@Username-ld7ho]

The Walther pdp is awesome. The slide is smooth, the takedown is probable the best takedown out of any pistols out there, the magazine release is nice and reliable, the mags drop out perfectly every time, and there’s no scratches on them. Even after a few range trips. My sig p365 just had to use the mags once to get them all scratched up. And I didn’t even drop them. It’s not a big deal tho, but still. Accuracy is on point. Grip texture is awesome, and it gives you a lot of real estate for holding it in place. You can see at the end of the slide on the left side. On top of the rail, you got that little plastic ledge. It’s for your left thumb to hold the gun down while shooting. Muzzle flip is pretty much eliminated that way. Also the angle of the grip is perfect. Presenting the gun gives me almost 100% perfect sight alignment every time. The slide lock release is perfect. Nice and long. I believe that the Walther pdp is the best pistol out there. I personally don’t own one. My dad does. I own a glock 19 gen 3 and a glock 48 mos. great guns, and I love them. But shooting the Walther is just perfect. And it’s not even hard to carry. I carry on my hip, and granted, just wearing a t-shirt won’t cut it this way. But with an over shirt it’s perfect. The clip & carry holster for it from Amazon is perfect. For like $30, you can’t get better. I believe it also accommodates for a red dot. I have that problem with my 48 mos. I just put a red dot on it, and my holster won’t fit anymore. I paid like $50 for it. I could cut it a bit, but still. I’d rather just buy a different holster that also accommodates for a light. Sorry for the rant. If you get a Walther pdp and a walther pps m2, that would be the best duo in my opinion. You could probably go for a sig p320 xcompact or xcarry along side the p365 sas, and that would probably be the perfect duo, but you can’t go wrong with the Walthers. They just look right.

[@FluffRat]

It looks like they changed it mostly to reduce machining time on the slide. The closeup at 4:45 is a perfect example, as you can see from the tool marks that the cutter was able to take significantly fewer passes both on the rear surface and around the outside. If it still runs just as well then it's down to cost and cosmetics, IMHO.

[@justhere8149]

Agreed no way the PDP can edc as comfortable and conceal as easy as the PPQ because the PDP slide looks as wide as a Glock 20. Cost cutting was my first thought as well it is like the Ruger LC9s and then the Ruger EC9s or the Karh P9 vs the CW9..

[@NoLies17]

And here I keep hoping that Walther's new pistol would have a slightly lower bore axis. Instead they essentially do a PPQ M3 with a more square slide for a better optics mounting platform and an extended grip option.

[@goforbroke2]

The bore axis is fine on the PPQ, I shoot 12” steel plates out to 100 yards with my PPQ’s. Don’t get caught up in the hype of a lower bore axis. Tell that to the old timer with the P229 who can out shoot damn near anyone at his gun club.

I really like my PPQ, but I was also looking at having the slide milled for an optic (so maybe I should just buy the slide - just did that for my P226). I have heard the trigger takeup is better on the PDP but I have not seen one yet.

[@michaelschwab9563]

Yup. Pdp is bulky

[@dannyrbailey]

Really they’re almost identical if you ignore looks. Yes the pdp may be lighter by a few ounces, and optics ready and I’ve heard they shoot the same. Otherwise the trigger I’ve heard is slightly better on the pdp. I also like the new slide and it’s aggressive serrations. Other than that they’re really identical, the pdp is better but not enough to make me want one over the other. That’s my take. I’d like a pdp do dual carry with my M&p haha

I don't understand the point, I guess. I only own 4 pistols. (But more rifles...lol). 1st of all, I'm a super curious type. I "wonder" everything. I have a Glock 21, Ruger Service Six .357 mag with upgraded sights and grips, .44 Ruger black powder Old Army, and a Walther PPS .40 S&W. My most accurate shooting is with the Glock 21. All of the sights on all three except the Walther are pretty fine. I bought the Walther specifically as a Conceal Carry. When I first looked through the sights I freaked out! Said to myself; "How can this be accurate?" Seems like a football field worth of play. Just like Justin was describing. (To be fair, I haven't shot it as much as the Glock by a longshot so...). But I kind of suck with the Walther. So, that's kind of disappointing. If at all possible I'd like to change out the rear sight. But I haven't investigated possibilities, if there are any.

[@andrewzabinski2205]

The airspace difference in the rear sight is noticeable in your grouping. The lateral movement is greater with the PPQ compared to the PDP. It is not 100% but can be observed in the grouping. Overall, glad to know that Walther is do product improvement and not remaining static.

[@SEAKPhotog]

The PDP looks like a nice and necessary evolution of the PPQ. Good job, Walther. I love my PPQs and PPS. I'm not in the market for another compact/medium carry gun (currently carry a P10c or Walther .45 or CZ P01/PCR) but if I was this would likely be it. It'd also likely be the next polymer framed gun I'd buy if I was going that way. I like the aesthetics of the PPQ better tho. I admit I was hoping for a double stack PPS replacement or a fun DA/SA hammer fired gun or most of all a steel frame .45. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great review as always ! I have the PPQ M2, to me the major advantage of the PDP is the red dot sight option, it's a good feature for people with "old eyes" like me.

If I am on the market to choose between the two, I certainly would go for the PDP.

I swapped out the stock sights on my PPQ M1 almost immediately after getting the pistol. I chose the meprolight night sights for the PPS.

I do love the DA/SA on my P226 and use that as my primary self defense gun. The PPG is ergonomically the best gun for my small hands (hold the comments, I have size 11 feet) and the overall feel of the PPQ makes it one of my overall favorites.

I'm glad I picked up the threaded version of the 45. I have had no regrets.

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@@ArmyGreensTanBoots Have you used a suppressor on it yet? My suppressor is currently in jail, can't wait to use it on the PPQ 45.

[@themightymongoose8498]

People are saying that slightly longer/wider/flatter beavertail on the PDP is a knuckle beater kind of like the Ruger American. Have you found that to be the case or have you noticed a difference at all in that regard compared to the PPQ? Or do people just need to eat more Wheaties and spinach?

[@Nathan-zw7nq]

I recently picked up this pistol and surprisingly the best 5 round groups I got with it at 10 yards were with Fiocchi 115 Gr JHP, it was .67 inches. Remington UMC G&W box gave me a 1 inch group and Winchester White Box gave me a 1 1/2 inch group. Go figure the cheapest ammo shot the best out of my pistol. And all of them have good expansion and penetration out of 4 inch barrels.

[@mikelewis809]

I'm still trying to find mags for my PPQ 45. I guess I have another option when I pick up a Walther in 9mm.

[@tolpacourt]

I really like the high resolution, close-up shots.

[@thomaskishmanii2675]

I love the back of the PDP. Very simple. I have a Sig 320 and my one major dislike of the 320 is the back is to busy looking.

[@LeftThumbBreak]

It seems to me the slide and redesign is for the optics cut. Wider slide and maybe depth of striker channel, extractor length. Just a guess.

[@edwardmarmion1672]

The PDP has a very smooth action and not a lot of recoil so it's a lot easier to reset your sight on target

[@MichaelRubin336]

Walther said that you can co-witness the iron sights and a red dot in many cases.

[@wrenchracer86cl]

I have the ppq m2,i really enjoy shooting it. Thank you for this comparison and thorough look at both. I'm glad things do have some compatibility.i might look into getting a pdp slide.

[@professord8888]

Up until 6:00 I was liking everything about the PDP's looks better, but from this angle that classic Walther taper looks way more stylish.

[@Perry2186]

Does the paper have a paddle release?

[@luisrodriguezespinosa6276]

Recently bought a PPQ Q4 Tac, and then the PDP came out. I thought it was only me thinking “changing the gun for the new one is not worth the hassle”. To sum it up: THANK YOU, SIR!

[@1TDECK]

The PPQ looks way better. Especially the M1 with the European magazine release. The PDP looks like a big block. So strange that Walther went this direction.

[@nejinaji]

For easier optic mounting probably

[@MonstersOfTheUniverse]

I noticed your rear sight waindage is set ever so slightLy to the right- which is probably why you’re a little right on your target. Excellent review. I’m autopsy about the height of the bore axis of lower than PpQ?

[@HomesteadMountain]

Great video! Love the detailed video work of the guns and explanations of differences.

[@jamiebrusque5839]

Justin is a good Gun-tuber,he has very special Opinions!

[@douglasshouganai2516]

your comment about the irons makes me think about my problems with my P365 XL. The front post is too fat though the nice high-vis dot is fast to acquire. I started off my firearms journey with the PPQ though, so I have learned theirs well compared to the blocky SIG ones.

[@Danny19551]

I had a PDQ 45 once and sold it would like to have another but gonna wait to see if they make it in the PDP format

[@automandan]

Out of all the fullsize pistols that I tried out the Walther PDP felt the best to me. So once I get my Taurus G3C and my Smith &wesson m&p shield plus. I will be saving up to purchase the Walther PDP.

[@darrelljames1178]

The only Reason people preferred Glock vs the PPQ is after market parts, that's it! Because out the box the PPQ is the better gun out the box!!! I'm old school so I'm not much into the red dot in a pistol just yet, imo it's just an accessory/ jewelry... looks nice but really not needed

[@leonsam12]

Yes, you're right about the wide window in the rear sight, my P99 is the same, need to change out for sure👍

[@chubbyjohnson5480]

Another great video from this channel!

[@MyWatchIsEnded]

I'm a little confused about the PPQ sight replacement comment since they have the easiest design to replace them. With a Glock you have a traditional dovetail style mount where you have to hammer out the iron sights after removing the set screw which is typically done by a gunsmith. With the PPQ the front sight is removed by removing the slide from the grip, unscrewing the hex screw under the front sight post, and lifting it off. Replacement is the opposite. To remove the rear sight on the PPQ you just have to depress the little lever on the right side of the sight and the sight slides right off. It takes about 1 minute on average to change the front and rear sights together. It's not a problem that people think it's "not as secure" since it obviously is based on reviews and the history of the firearm but "harder to change" than the Glock it definitely is not. 👍

[@KendrasEdge757]

The 4” full size magazine also ISN’T compatible with the PPQ as it also takes the full size 18rd mags.

[@Chingus696]

“Duty is it’s middle name.”... Great line and I liked the video. I also love the Led Zeppelin hat. Most gun guys wear gun manufacturer branded hats. It’s nice to see someone bring their personal style to their video.

[@uriahg193]

Question: Did PDP came out with paddle mag release? That's all that's missing from that pistol in my oponion.

[@awokeone7997]

Like all your head 2 head comparisons, quality and very informative videos. I personally have to give credit to Walther for listening to its customers and paying attention to where the market is going. I like how the PDP looks and the upgrades that it has over the PPQ. Looks like a mix between the PPQ & VP9.

[@hotwater8473]

Have you put the pdp slide on the ppq and fired it?

[@professord8888]

Justin, I just wanna know where to get those matching gloves in case I order that Professor D Pistol.

[@slc1946]

Great video - learned a few things and enjoyed your presentation, I will go for the new PDP although I've enjoyed my PDQ for awhile now.

[@Hawtload]

I just held the PDP at the store and the recoil spring felt really weak, which would explain why I hear so much about how muzzle flippy it is. Maybe it was the fact that it wasn't loaded, but it felt ridiculously light weight. I feel like the steel frame is the way to go for me.

[@TheRealJoshW]

It is deceptively light considering its appearance.

[@jkelley2091]

Another great video. My PPQ shoots upper right off hand. I bought a Ransom Rest I hope it helps.

[@merkinmuffley5444]

Was there any difference in perceived muzzle flip?

[@tonyl3762]

That's what I want to know.

[@shanemac75]

I like my new Steyr L9A2 more than my PPQ 5". Went into my LGS today to buy this PDP anyway and came home with an Arex Delta X. Arex is much lighter & slimmer for carry. Traded a BBtech for it that shot great but the grip sucked.

[@b.jak7]

Can you tell me your impressions about trigger, muzzle flip and recoil? Thanks

[@shanemac75]

@@b.jak7 in the Steyr, the trigger has less take up & has way less muzzle flip than the Walther..the recoil seems to push straight back. My PPQ trigger does have a much more defined wall and reset though..& the mag button is better. Equally accurate for me. My deciding factor was the comfortable Steyr grip.

[@anthonya3661]

I heard there is an issue with the mounting plate on the PDP. Any info on this? I’m thinking about purchasing one.

[@2Aknight762]

Thank you Walther for making a pistol for those of us who grip a pistol the RIGHT WAY. I'll have to check this one out.
