My Thoughts On The Walther PDP Compact…

[@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

My wifes dad got an imported West German Walther LEO P-38 years ago and I was amazed at the ergonomics of walther then and PDP's today...

[@bruce5168]

I can shoot pretty well, but I have to admit when I got the PDP 5 inch barrel, the first 3 shots right out of the box grouped bullseye. The trigger is phenomenal for this series and the grip texture is excellent. The harder you squeeze the firearm, it feels like the texture adheres better to your hand. It's well made, very balanced, and a very fast reset.

[@ErikChevere]

Next do the Walther PDP F Series 3.5 and compare it to the Hellcat Pro,P 365 XL and 43x. I would like to hear what you got to say about it.

[@matthewlong7073]

Second. I’m very interested in how the pdp f 3.5 compares.

[@schelleracinginnovations1925]

I rented both 43x and the F 3.5” side by side. PDP F feels great in hand, its noticeably heavier and much wider. Super chunk on the slide so if you do not mind that, it shoots nice and you get the added capacity. I got the 43x mos.

[@Jarrow13]

The PDP F 3.5 is a sub compact.. or even more specific a Sub Compact X due to the compact duty length grip, where the Hellcat Pro, 43X and 365 XL are Micro 9's due to their slimline profile... or to be more specific due to their evolution to a longer barrel and grip from the original Hellcat and 365 it's almost like a Micro 9 X. The PDP F 3.5 is going to shoot very much like a Compact duty pistol. I tend to see the Hellcat Pro's, 43X's and 365 XL's as conceal Carry EDC specific pistols as they excel in that framework, where the PDP F 3.5 is more of that all rounder purpose pistol, like the P10S and Canik TP9 SC. The PDP F 3.5 can be a Conceal carry EDC, but can also be used for regular range sessions. It's not as nice to EDC like the slimmer pistols, but it's definitely more pleasant to shoot 2 to 4 boxes of 50's in a range session than the majority of these slimline pistols.

[@luckylandy2945]

​@@Jarrow13Well said bro, I own all of these and I honestly keep flipping back and forth on which EDC to carry between my PDP COMPACT and my PDP F SERIES, and due to me doing a lot of moving around for work I normally go with my F Series, plus I love the trigger on it. My COMPACT is my baby still, but that trigger is soooo incredibly light that's it's almost ridiculous. And I know it's not just me cause I've watched numerous of big name videos of big namers who say the same. I always accidentally double tap at the range and so did Colin Noir in his video, and many others. My F series, I've never double tapped. I love them both. Lol.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

@@Jarrow13 I'm still waiting for a PDP/PPS hybrid, but I'm not holding my breath. The F seems nice but the slide is huge for a gun initially marketed to women.

[@clima]

One of the best compact options out there. I was concerned about the snappiness feedback from others but was pleasantly surprised as to how manageable this gun is. Great grip texture, ergonomic, light weight, fast shooter and accurate.

[@andrewcz8871]

I think people call it "snappy" bc there is literally no downsides to this pistol. It's no snappier than any other 9mm compact, but it IS better in every other way.

[@trifectafitness7161]

I have this pistol. It’s freaking fantastic. Amazing amazing amazing trigger. Best polymer pistol trigger right out of the box. Great ergonomics. Runs like a gem. Comes outta the box feeling limiting has 1000 rounds though it. It’s my winter carry and best side pistol. Besides my xmacro tac ops it’s that dude!! Love the channel brother. Stay safe. See ya on the next one

Bro props for absolutely killing it with content each time. Great friggen channel for me since I stumbled upon it

[@DeusRegum]

I have the PDP-F 4" and LOVE it. I might even get the 3.5" too. They are just a tad too chubby though. This is why my SIG P365 series are still my EDCs. But if I were to not carry my SIGs anymore, I'd go PDP-F all the way!

[@paragon1782]

I think if they ported or comped the PDP, everyone would like them more than the m&p or the sigs. Off set that high bore axis a bit.

[@archiebunker3654]

I've been researching the PDP compact lately so I think it's great and very timely you're doing a video with your thoughts on it. I even ordered one of their trigger upgrades last night, just because it was actually in stock for once, just in case I end up buying a PDP. I've owned a PPQ M2 Compact for years now and really love it. So even though I usually carry a Glock, I'll probably get a PDP at some point here, I think it's truly excellent firearm.

[@andrewcz8871]

Buy one. You won't regret it.

[@DerpASherpa117]

I've said it multiple times and I'll say it again: Walther... please, PLEASE give us a PPS M3 based on the PDP with at least 10+ rounds and optics cut. That's probably the only handgun that would replace my Hellcat Pro right now. My PPQ M2 is a bit too bulky to comfortably carry in South Florida, so please just make a 1.5-stack PPS already! Even HK is getting theirs out

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I've stopped holding my breath. I've begged Walther for a PPS/PPQ hybrid for over 10 years. Canik even came out with a micro compact before Walther did, and they're the ones who basically stole Walther's trigger design. I suppose it was because they didn't want to wade into the magazine wars around Sig's supposedly new patent on the stack and a half magazine (it's actually not an original idea). There's also the problem with importing micro compacts due to the U.S. import points system (which is why the PPK is made in the U.S.), but I don't know why they can't make the frames and barrels in Ulm and assemble the pistol in the U.S. at their plant. None of it makes sense to me.

[@todoubled7970]

Awesome! A review of a Walther PDP compact. I don’t have this firearm but I do own the PDP 5" full size version…and it’s fantastic! Personally, I would prefer this (compact) PDP over the Glock 19. They are basically the same size with a little bulkier slide on the PDP (which I prefer). You get great quality/reliability with both, yet with Walther (out of the box) you get a much nicer trigger. Though the Gen 5 Glocks have definitely improved on their triggers, they still have some work to do to catch Walther.

[@geoffkaminski]

I love my PDP, few tips for new owners: 1-gotta set your grip to not cover the extended slide release, or your slide won't lock back on an empty mag 2-the grip texture is good for shooting, but will eat your skin off if carrying appendix, I rigged some electrical tape on the side facing my body and haven't had any problems since 3-it's significantly harder than a glock to fully dis/reassemble, you end up having to hammer the crap out of it

[@andrewcz8871]

My PDP is not hard to take down at all. Hold slide back 2mm, pull takedown toggle, and it comes right apart.

[@geoffkaminski]

@andrewcz8871 I'm talking about fully disassembling the frame and having to hammer out the slide lock lever...not field stripping it

[@simonbarnett9773]

Love the PDP compact. Just out a brace of holes through the little A with it at the range last weekend without a red dot at decent range. It is a stable easy to shoot platform

[@Rustypan471]

I carry my pdp compact in a tier1 axis elite under a tee shirt and forget it’s there. I’m 5’10”” 170lbs. I don’t like micro compacts because I don’t shoot them as well. The smallest pistol I carry is an HK VP9sk. I guess I’m just used to that size. I did carry a Glock 19 for awhile, I just couldn’t get used to the grip angle. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Re reliability, I've got a 2012 PPQ M1 with thousands of rounds through it and the only malfunction I had was with some garbage aluminum target ammo (had one or two stovepipes). The gun is amazing. Most accurate 9mm I've ever shot (including Glocks).

[@baptistgaming91]

I really like the quality of walthers. They just have too high bore axis for me. The recoil impulse is weird to me. Just like caniks. I can't help but feel if they mixed those amazing triggers with a lower bore they would be way more popular.

[@jamesmaysflyingwashingmach7459]

I don't get the design choices for the PDP. It's like someone demanded the gun MUST have a overlarge blocky slide, and everything else is to compensate for that, like making the frame flimsy asf.

[@oilyque]

I love my PDP. I carry my smaller pistols more but I still carry and it's my favorite shooter just above my Hellcat Pro.

[@Luke-id1cp]

Canik is as good as the Turkish shotguns that are made in likely the same factories with the same QC processes

[@propblast82nd]

Thanks for another great video . What’s your opinion of the new Gen 5 Glock 30?

[@WettDoggTV]

The Walther pdp is pretty much the best polymer striker fire pistol on the market.. The only knocks are the plastic sights and u have to send off for the plates.. But the sights being crappy is kinda irrelevant because almost everyone is putting a red dot on it.. I put Taylor Freelance brass deathgrips, a brass magwell and a 15lb ZR tactical guide rod, and its on another level..

[@fuzz429]

Not related to the video @spn firearms but what are your thoughts on a good capacity for a edc?

I carry sometimes as low as 6+1 but all depends on where you are going and what you are doing. I prefer at least 10+1! Respect

[@steveflo]

I like the pdp but she’s a thick girl. If I’m carrying something that size, it’ll be my 10mm. Now for a full size I would never carry and just for home protection, it’s hard to beat. The ergonomics are amazing.

[@KarsenKeith]

I think that the PDP F is one of the slickest looking guns on the market. That said, do any males have experience with it? Designing a firearm completely around female hands is a cool concept but I, frankly, am not a female.

[@accord50]

Will the PPQ 15 round magazines fit the PDP ?

[@Blobertbigly]

Before watching, my thoughts on the pdp compact... I want to like it so bad, but it's just a little too lightweight for me. Also when you bring the gun up, it's a very tall and blocky slide. It's not a bad gun by any means, but it's just not to my preference. It performs well, is reliable and accurate, and would be a great gun in many situations, but my own tastes make me prefer a cz p01 over it.

[@nicolmary86]

Get some nice night sights for that Walther and boom!

[@chefmatt6299]

It's not masking tape, it's obviously painter's top. Duh. But in all seriousness, I agree the Glocks still have an advantage for carry due to printing and being able to wear without an undershirt. Plus I like the striker control device option.

[@Gungrave123]

ofc a fully pre cocked striker will make the trigger "better" but that's imho an accidental discharge waiting to happen

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I never understood why Walther put plastic sights on the PPQ/PDP and steel sights on the PPS. I think it might have to do with the ridiculous import points system the U.S. has for German guns which protects S&W. I ended up buying a set of the steel PPS sights and putting them on my PPQ M1, but I don't think you can do that swap anymore with the Glock style dovetail on the PDP.

[@steelydan146]

It used to be the exact same grips on the rear of Blackberry phones back in the day

If you are comparing Glock and Walther with contracts, testing, it’s not even close. Glock has been used way more, has had to perform through wars, etc. they are the most battle tested pistols on the market. I love Walther as I love 15-20 other brands but when it comes to track record you have to be honest and that’s the fact that as a defensive pistol? Glock has been tested and have lived up to its reputation. For defending my family and my life, it’s a Glock always. With that being said, my wife carrys a Walther pps m2
