Walther PDP Pro SD Compact - You Need To See This Gun!

Hello and welcome. Today we take a look at the ‪@Waltherarms‬ PDP Pro SD Compact. Not long ago I published a video on the full-size brother and loved it. The compact, I like it even more. This is one amazing polymer handgun.
Note: I don't know how, but I lost the shooting video footage of the PDP Pro SD. But trust me, it is a laser beam.
I look forward to your comments and please hit the subscribe button if you feel that I have earned it.
Thank you for stopping by and God Bless.

I ordered the Walther PDP Pro Compact a few weeks ago & picked it up yesterday for 200rds of range time. Direct mounted the Holosun SCS-PDP-GR & Luv It! I do plan to order the ZR Tac 13lbs Captured Stainless Guide Rod as recommended. Thank you for this detailed review, well done!

[@WickedTuna313]

How do you know what poundage guide rod to get ??

[@MDpolo]

@LUCKY5000able from the factory they come with an 18 pound spring. The ZR tactical is a 13 pound spring but you can also put a 15 pound spring. Personal preference. For me the 13 pound has worked wonderfully.

[@Nseminole]

As for compensators, Herrington makes the best comp for the PDP. You will find that the Herrington Comp will handle all types of ammo and weight including steel casings. Make sure you get a email notification for availability. Herrington comps sell out in minutes when available.

Dude...just buy factory full size 18rnd Walther mags. They work just fine in the Compact SD Pro, without any basepads.

[@davehyer4178]

Yes but…. There is no magazine stopper in the gun like a Glock. This is why you can fire a g17 mag in a g26. If the bottom of mag does not make contact with the frame of the pistol it is stopped by the ejector. So by not using the aluminum base plates for this mag you can damage your ejector by slamming a mag in.

I've been researching both full size and compact pro HD and I'm pulling my hair out trying to decide. I've handled both versions of the standard PDP 4" at the store,, compact felt good although part of my hand would roll off the bottom of the grip but I was able to get my fingers all in place so I contemplated going with the full size which felt good too but then again I want to carry too so......?¿😵‍💫😆 (Btw first handgun, I'm only 58 hard to believe I know but now money is tight.

[@Ellienollie]

The engineers who design these guns specifically design them to function with the provided guide rods and their tension. When you change things like this the gun simply won’t run as reliably under harsh conditions. These guns go for tens of thousands of rounds with stock guide rods.

[@mmafanatic-tz5or]

My guide rod is already bending and I've seen some people's plastic guide rod bend as well. That's a no no for me.

[@richardw2801]

And engineers get overridden by bean counters to meet a price point all the time.

[@6spdkeg]

yeah but.. .. . but if you never run hot loaded ammo or a suppressor, you wont need the 18lb spring. I pretty much immediately went with the Factory Walther upgraded 50N Tungsten guide rod and whatever spring comes on it. some say it's the same spring already in the PDP. looks identical but felt every so slightly lighter. I know people are saying 50N translates to 11.24 lbs but I think that's the wrong conversion. no way it's that light as that would feel like a significant difference.

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

This gun doesn’t compensate well.. tbh idk why you would want to cause unless you run +p pressure heavy grain ammo you’re not really gaining anything from a comp.. you can get a little help with hot 115g rounds but tbh most of those are low powder and low pressure trying type rounds mostly.. The lack of a good oring on the cap drives me completely nuts.. I used vise grips and cranked the hell out of mine and it has been ok now.. As for the spring idk what you’re referencing.. I have the full size version so maybe it’s a little different? But the stock spring is a 12lb spring and the green suppressor spring they send is a 15lb spring. You did nothing but swap the same weight wiring for a ss rod which this is such an over hyped thing by people.. the glocks been running plastic rods of less quality then this one for a long time and enough proven rounds count wise wo a single issue I’ve every seen or heard of where you’re needing to replace it anyways do round count way before it breaks. The reason companies are moving to polymer rods is because it does help reduce recoil a little much like poly Lee frames because it flexes a little and absorbs some of the force.. I don’t run the magwell on mine cause I compete with it.. the entire over insertion thing is highly over stated.. you would have to really hammer the mags in there.. the thing you gain is the Glock like mag change where it releases the slide on its own when you modestly inset the mag.. The best thing I can say to do to these is to add a brass back strap.. yeah not legal for my comps but they make black ones 😅 haven’t been caught yet.. but that little extra weight in hand really takes this pistol that extra little bit.. I get 25y fist size bill drills with that setup.. One complaint I have.. I wear small gloves.. very small hands.. never did I have last round lock issues with my PPQ’s but I get a failure to lock every single time with this gun.. I have a very aggressive grip and maybe the design of this allows me to get just a little higher up then on a ppq or p99? Idk but I’ve not had a single lock back in the entire time I’ve owned mine.. some of that might be cause I’m mostly using +3 plates to get to 21 rounds with the factory springs still for comps but I still have the factory flush fitting 18’s and the 18’s with the factory alum pads.. they don’t lock either.. but my slide is and has always been super easy and soft compared to say my 4” ppq which has 10’s of thousands more rounds through it then my pdp does.. and this slide with factory spring is as soft as my m92 on about 50k rounds.. way beyond do for a recoil spring replacement on that gun but till it has issues I’ll run what I got cause it’s so light.. this one is just as good as that one out the box.. only going to get better over time.. One think I will say.. idc if you think you need or want the pro SD version or not.. you do.. I’ve been competing for 20 years now in both idpa and uspca with pistols and I’ve never in 20 years outside of some very high end and expensive 1911 and 2011 setups shot a pistol this good this fast out the box. Now I want a micro version of this gun for edc.. I’m small work outside doing physical work and in a very hot climate.. and although I can mostly get by with a compact size carry gun at work I prefer micros m-f.. WALTHER PLEASE GIVE US A SLIM FRAME MICRO VERSION OF THE PDP and do not mess with the grip texturing when you do! Something canick mc9 size that isn’t a thin as a 365 or shield plus but thinner then a regular double stack while still taking a regular double stack 15rnd or larger mag mike the mc9 does would be perfect.. I want it with the performance trigger.. the rail and the grip texture! It will out sell the 365 I promise

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

I don't know if it's necessarily the "best" comp for the PDP, but Parker Mountain Machine makes a comp that matches the lines of the PDP slide which I think looks quite nice.

Question: At anytime did or does your slide "shake"? Before or after the ZR rod install. I just bought the 4.6" Pro, and noticed that the slide shakes/rattles. If I hold it one handed, and twist/rotate my hand, the slide significantly moves east to west. So much so (nearly a 16th inch) that I called Walther. They said it's normal. To me, it's loose. Does yours move??

[@MDpolo]

Yeah, apparently they all do it. Mine have been doing it since I purchased them. Apparently it’s part of Walters design studio pistol. It is meant to have those tolerances for reliability purposes. At least that’s Walter‘s version. I have two of them with zero no functions.

[@kevinhayes7141]

This is going to sound really dumb but with every pistol I get I draw it from holster and fully clear start engaging the trigger back and forth to the wall and I try to stop at the wall without fully dropping the striker I just sit there pressing to the wall not intending on fully pressing and if I can do that in about a minute or two without breaking the trigger I’m good with it well I just couldn’t and since the aftermarket for this gun isn’t as extensive as Glock I can’t make the pull heavier where I place my finger I get about a 2.5 to 3 pound break on the Walther pdp with Glock I put in the factory plus connected with the increased power reset spring which decreases the trigger pull weight so that’s why I use the plus connector I also use a heavier striker spring if it’s still a lighter than I like which is 4lb to 4.5lb and what I usually get with that mod is a short take up with a solid wall and very clean break and short reset that’s just what I like and until I had the trigger in this pdp I couldn’t or I’ll say I didn’t want to carry it. The pull is still lighter but for some reason I’m able to get that clean wall without the surprise break and yeah I know training training training that’s what I’m going when drawing and dry firing or trying not to. I hope one day the aftermarket will grow and I can get that weight to where I like it but this configuration is sufficient

[@rays9033]

Have you seen the YT video "Fatal PDP Flaw Revealed by Red Shirt" that describes the PPQ/PDP "feature" that unknowingly takes your pistol out of battery if the barrel/slide is pressed against an object when the trigger is pulled, which requires a re-rack of the slide??? Seems like a big problem (but supposedly Wather implemented that feature decades ago per German requests) if some type of close-defensive struggle occurs. If you look deep in the comments of that video, people say the 2023 frame and slide versions no longer have that feature. 🤔 Also, in those comments it mentions going to a lighter (e.g., 13-pound) spring, will make this issue happen much more often since the slide may not fully return, thus cause the same issue. Yesterday at my local gun shop, I bought a PPQ Q5 Match (polymer), which I looked forward to a lot of range time, and hoped to maybe OWB conceal-carry some day. I highly doubt I will experience a close-quarters encounter that prevents me to shoot (if needed), but it makes me think about it. I'm also sure other firearms have their own issues when not operated in a perfect setting too, it's not a perfect world, and needing to pull a trigger in a life or death situation already is always risky.

@@MDpolo I’m in no way the expert on that topic, but I thought to mention it. At first it bothered me to hear of the issue, but now I’m fine with it. If it’s true, Walther may have implemented this as a feature to prevent AD’s, who knows? Supposedly the 2023 models no longer have this “feature”. I may wait a few months longer to get a 4” or 5” Pro since I’ve yet to fire the Q5. I also wish the PDP Pro’s had a 15-round option (without needing to remove the mag well). I know my wallet would appreciate a few month wait too!

[@megatron_steel704]

Where did you get the plate for the red dot? Did it come with it

[@MDpolo]

No it did not. It is from ZR Tactical Solutions.

[@megatron_steel704]

Is the guide rod captured or uncaptured I’m in the process of replacing it but I see there’s a brass and steel both with ISMI 13lb spring. Would love your opinion on what you suggest better. Thanks!

[@MDpolo]

He has both styles. I like the captured 15 pound over-travel guide rod.

[@mickeysambor9070]

Great review, thx. I recently got this gun and love it however I’m a bit confused on the guide rod:spring. I purchased the captured ZR 13 lb steel but haven’t installed it yet. You had 13 in your review but now like the 15 lb over travel spring in the response above. Please clarify. Thx

Can you use the standard 15 round pdp compact mags?

[@MDpolo]

You can if you remove the magwell. Thank you for stopping by.

[@matticus739]

Can u give me the UPC number for this product it's what I'm looking for as compact 18rd

[@MDpolo]

I wish I could, it would violate KZbin’s ridiculous rules. It’s on their website if you take a look.

[@DanDway]

@MDpolo what would you prefer assuming it would be a rangetoy/nightstand gun? Thanks!

[@MDpolo]

Hello! I’m not understanding your question. What would I prefer? Regarding Bud? Thank you very much for stopping by.

​@MDpolo Gun Channel I'm thinking of selling my p10c for this, would you recommend that or just get the PDP also?

[@MDpolo]

@@hunter1028 depends on budget. I love the P10c. But if I had to choose between the two, I would take the PDP Pro SD all day. My choice? Keep both.

[@hunter1028]

@@MDpolo Thanks, I really don't want to let go of the CZ, I'll just buy the PDP Pro and use my freedom to buy whatever I want 🙌🏻

I love it but for 800 bucks Im content with my Canicks!!!

Nothing wrong with that! Thank you for stopping by.

No loctite on parts that get hot. Use a dab of Rocksett instead.

[@MDpolo]

Thank you for the tip! I appreciate it.

[@NineteenEighty-Four]

@MDpolo You're welcome. If the thread interface and fitment is not sloppy, you can time the comp with Rocksett, let it cure, and it absolutely will not move without hand tools. Goodbye lock nuts, shims, and crush washers. The only downside to Rocksett is using too much torque and too much product.

I’ll take a look. Thank you very much!

[@chltmdwp]

I doubt i can appendix carry this "compact" gun without printing due to the grip.

[@MDpolo]

You are correct. I’m in the same situation so I removed the magwell and use it with 15 round mags. Then it carries just fine. Thank you very much for stopping by.

There should NOT be a tax on suppressors. They want mufflers on cars, don't they?

[@MDpolo]

Good point!

If there's one thing that makes me sick about the Trump administration it's that he didn't get the Hearing Protection Act passed. That would have made silencers legal without the ridiculous tax stamp, as they are in Europe.

Where can I find a 15 round version of this. ?

[@brandondane4777]

will this hold a 15 round mag ?

[@MDpolo]

Yes without the magwell.

[@nonetheless01]

Too big for everyday CC use?

[@MDpolo]

That’s 100% a personal choice. For me, it would be too big. But I know many guys that carry full-size guns every day. Many carry a full size all metal 1911 and I know I lady that soaking wet weighs 110 pounds and carries inside of the waistband of an FNX 45 Tactical. So this one depends totally on you. What’s comfortable and what you will carry every day.

[@nonetheless01]

@MDpolo yeah I know those people too , seems to me the skinnier a person is the bigger gun they can conceal easier , seems to go against logic .

[@MDpolo]

@@nonetheless01 totally agree.

[@brandondane4777]

Any video of this getting shot ? I like this but all the video I saw of the regular one looked snappy. Not sure why so many ppl like this gun. I kinda like the Cz too. But this one looks good and if u every did get a small 9 mm can this would probably shoot so much flatter. I have a big ass hybrid 46 I put on my Glock 45. And it’s no recoil. But it’s way to big for the gun. I’d rather get one that’s made for 9mm next time.

[@MDpolo]

Unfortunately I lost the video footage that I took at the range. I lost other videos that I took that same day so it must’ve been a problem with the memory card. It is a wonderful handgun to shoot and it returns to zero almost like magic. Thank you very much for stopping by.
