Unboxing - Walther PDP (Full Size 4.5")

[@Momofatts1]

I love Walther. Their customer support is top notch. They repaired my PPKS that was 20 years old for free. I highly recommend.

[@GunBoxTherapy]

I’ve heard this as well. I’m glad that they and most firearm manufacturers I’ve encountered actually honor their warranty.

[@v.german11b]

Initially I got me a Walther PDP 5" Full size 18+1. I was so impressed with its accuracy, smooth trigger and reliability that ended up buying a PDP 4" Compact 15+1 Law Enforcement edition. This one came with 3 magazines and XS night sights. Both of are superb modern combat handguns. Walther hit it "out of the ball park" with the PDP, just a notch above the outstanding PPQ.

[@RepentorPerish77]

I just picked up the compact model and love it. It fits my hand like a glove. The trigger is amazing and it’s one sexy pistol

[@GunBoxTherapy]

The grip texture is very nice and really allows for positive control of the pistol! Not sure if you’ve ever handled other Walther handguns before but the polymer they are using now is of MUCH greater quality! Before, the grips almost felt like a toy gun or something. I never liked them.

[@BK_2016sr5]

for ccw?

[@RepentorPerish77]

@@BK_2016sr5it’s a matter of choice. It can be used for CCW but for me it’s to large. I carry the P365 AXG Legion or the Shield Plus Carry Comp which has slimmer profiles. You need to determine what’s best for you

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

My pdp mag followers are blue, just bought the 4.5 yesterday, comfortable as hell, changed out the rear grip for the beaver tail. Going to range this weekend

[@clintwestwood1895]

This weapon seems to be universally praised, I have been waiting for it to be out for a few years to obtain one.

[@jaegybomb]

Now's the time. Just got mine today because of the free optic promotion until the end of the year. Went down to my local gun store and asked if they could order me a Pro-E and it got here in 2 days.

How do you like that trigger?

[@Baconb]

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 phenomenal! I thought the XDM elite had a great trigger but this blows it out of the park. Short take up, crisp break, and a short reset.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

@@Baconb Nice. Can't wait to get mine.

[@moeharri]

I too had the XDM Elite and now the PDP compact and think they're both great, but I'd take the PDP all day. Walther is my favorite handgun brand, followed by Springfield Armory and CZ.

[@polintanfamily8134]

Walther pdp is the latest modern design 9mm striker fired pistol, matching up glock 45, as well as canik mete. What should I say. But I’m looking forward to get one of this achtung baby someday and add it to my glocks and my other pistols. I’m so impressed especially with the deep serrations, that makes it more easier to rack the slide. Overall advantages, is the design, it’s german -made material, high mag capacity, and reliability in any situation, for protection/training.👍

[@cloverhal2284]

About materials the slide is carbon steel and Tenifer coated

[@Sportimus]

Just curious, what made you decide on getting the 4.5" full size over the 4" compact model? Cool video.

[@1stAmendmentfukyoutube]

I’ll answer for him. It’s all preference. Maybe he has 4 compacts and wanted a full size. Maybe it’s a night stand gun. Maybe he has no intention on carrying it so on so forth.

[@1stAmendmentfukyoutube]

Like asking why did you marry a blonde and not a brunette. Cause he wanted too lol

[@Sportimus]

@@1stAmendmentfukyoutube Or maybe he can answer for himself instead. It's a legit question as it could help me and others make a decision as well. And there wouldn't be any "maybe" in his response. If he doesn't want to answer, that's fine too.

[@GunBoxTherapy]

This wasn’t a personal purchase. It was sold in about 3 days after making the video. However, if I was to buy one, I would get this version. The gun is too thick, in my opinion, to carry comfortably and call it a “compact” but shortening the grip/barrel/slide. I carry appendix or some call it midline. If I were to buy this gun it would be either as a duty/open carry, range gun, or nightstand gun.

[@Sportimus]

@@GunBoxTherapy Thank you for the response. Much appreciated.

[@jaytay7989]

Go compact for conceal carry.

[@eml3148]

Just recently purchased the PDP and I'm very happy with it. But I was greatly dismayed with the so-called "free Optic Plate" offer. I ordered the Optic Plate through the Walther site for a SightMark Mini Shot M-Spec Red Dot Sight. Walther recommended the comparable plate from Doctor/Noblex. I received the plate in a plain envelope, unwrapped, no instructions, no screws, nothing just a metal plate. The plate didn't match the SightMark. I wrote to Walther and this was their reply, "That optic will not mount to one of our plates. You will need a custom milled plate from C&H Precision". Wasn't happy. Hopefully I'll have good luck with the PDP.

[@GunBoxTherapy]

Nice! I absolutely love the grip texture. It is definitely either number 2 or 3 in my “best grip texture” list. Number 1 being the FN 509 and I am torn between the PDP or the Polymer 80 frame as 2 or 3.

[@ep6606]

@@GunBoxTherapy funny you say that, my local gun shop has a 509 and I’ve been thinking about buying it. Cabelas has some poly 80’s in stock, the compact feels great in the hand, I love the grip texture. I recently sold my 43x to a friend and I regret it as that is my fav Glock, I might just buy another, but I’ll keep it this time!

Hi i just purchased the walther PDP 4.5 I'm new to walther, i was shaking my gun left and right the slide was making a rattling sound and i can move the slide a little left and right but it's brand new, is this normal for this gun, or do i need to take it back to the Bass Pro Shop please let me know thanks.

[@GunBoxTherapy]

I’m not sure that Bass Pro will help you. I would contact Walther and see if you can get a warranty claim on it.

[@polofunk]

@@GunBoxTherapy thanks for the response, i contacted walther about my walther pdp 4.5 gun slide rattling they said it supposed to do that but I'm still not sure, i couldn't compare it to another one because that was the last one in the store.

[@Jedi391]

[@johnw.3636]

Would anyone sell the PPQ to get this? I'm considering it.

[@GunBoxTherapy]

I would. Strictly for the upgrade in grip texture. The PPQ grip just feels like low quality plastic.

[@v.german11b]

My opinion: the PPQ is not a lesser handgun. The PPQ is as good as the PDP. If you like the cosmetic changes of the PDP, go for it. However, again, you don't have an "inferior" gun on the PPQ. The improvements are mostly on appearance. By the way, I bought a PDP full size 5 inch-barrel. But I didn't own a PPQ 😉

[@AustenFan87]

There have been multiple reviewers who go back and forth on if you should sell your PPQ. Many say similar to German, it is not an inferior weapon so if you like it keep both. I am planning to sell my PPQ SC once I get my PDP Compact simply because I don't have a dominant eye and I want an optic ready firearm.

[@v.german11b]

@@AustenFan87 Indeed. The PDP is a superb modern combat handgun, it is virtually flawless. I got me one full size 5" barrel 18+1, and it is so amazingly good that induced me to buy a PDP compact 4" barrel 15+1. But the bottom line is this: those who own a PPQ are already are well served with a highly reliable, accurate Walther pistol, with a second to none trigger pull. Both models are outstanding!

[@rt1326]

I kept my ppq and sold the pdp compact. They are both very similar, but I preferred the ppq in that size. Decided to look for the full size pdp for some variety. The ppq is also discontinuing, love its design and will be harder to find in the future.

[@ΧΡΥΠΟΥ]

Walther pdp full size 4 inc vs cz p10c vs Glock 17 / glock 45

[@moeharri]

It's very odd that your magazine followers are black--my last two Walthers have red (including my PDP compact). I much prefer a bright follower.

[@GunBoxTherapy]

I think this has something to do with the compatibility with PPQ magazines. They all accept the same ones. Of course though, their was only the PPQ sub-compact which was much smaller than the PDP compact. This leads me to think that the magazines you have for your PDP compact are a newer design but same fit.

[@TheSnoopyBA]

I am between G17 and this one. Which one would you prefer? TY

[@nickkohler3670]

Is the 4.5 too big to conceal carry? Seems like a thick slide

[@mrplummer1988]

I would like to know this as well

[@jaytay7989]

I think the grip may be difficult to conceal. It’s comparable to the 19X. The compact would be better for conceal carry.

[@sareynoldssr]

Thanks for the great video.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

The Glock style trigger dingus is really there as a drop safety. Without that mechanism the force of dropping the gun with the butt facing downward would otherwise sometimes actuate the trigger from momentum. Btw, what's the point of an unboxing without working the trigger? At least do a couple dry fires and talk about the reset/trigger feel. Don't be a tease!

[@GunBoxTherapy]

lol. I’ve considered starting to do trigger tests on the guns I unbox but sometimes it’s hard to think of the correct description of how they fell or what to compare it to I guess. Thanks for the suggestion though! I hope you stick around and subscribe.
