I think I really love these. Started with the match, but picked up the 4.5" yesterday. Sold a staccato to do it and have zero regrets.

Also got this magmo grip yesterday and immediately ordered another one. What a game changer.

Can't wait for my match this weekend.

My new favorite project has been to upgrade my Q5 match over the past few months. Upgrades are as follows:
Holosun 507c
LOK Standard Aluminium Grips
Taylor Freelance Magwell
Streamlight TLR-1 HL
Overwatch Precision TAC Trigger

Plan to have the barrel ported on top to match the slide ports soon. Will upgrade spring after that.

I picked up this used Walther PDP full size today.

I fell in love with it after holding it and trying the trigger.

It's a fine looking firearm!

Sons first time shooting Suppressed P22

Finally got my son out to the range to try out the suppressor on his P22. It’s giggle worthy how quiet the damn thing is. Probably have to to change the spring out for a lighter one as it was being super finicky about ammo.

PDP Steel Frame Pro Compact 4" Magwell

Hey!

I have a Walther PDP Compact Steel Frame 4" (non-Pro version) and I’m considering adding a magwell. The new PDP Steel Frame Pro Compact 4" comes with an aluminum magwell and matching aluminum base pads.

Does anyone know if Walther sells that OEM Pro Compact Steel Frame magwell separately?

Are there any good alternatives that fit the PDP Compact Steel Frame 4"?

I already have 18 rounds (Compact Pro) magazines so no issue here.

Thanks!

Not much to be said here. Great gun, great holster. Would recommend both.

Newest dive into Walthers. PDP Compact

5 Upvotes
Picked this up on a trade and will be comparing it to my current striker fired carry rotation, which are both comped/ported (M&P9 Carry Comp Polymer FS and Echelon 4.5C Comped). So far the trigger is much better than either of those two, and the grip feels better. So far the only change I made was to swap the RSA for a ZR Tactical RSA with a 17lb spring. I would have gone 15lb or V-Spec, but was concerned about the RTB issues I had seen.

As someone who doesn’t particularly keep up with Walther handguns…. wtf happened between the P99 and the PDP?

1 Upvotes

My dad had a P22 when I was a kid, I adored that gun and always dreamed of having a P99. I thought and still think it’s one of the sexiest looking polymer handguns ever made.

Fast forward to today, I’ve held and inspected both the PDP compact and full size, and see them every day. In my opinion, they are one of the ugliest pistols currently on the market. I’m not at all debating their quality or shootability, but they have seriously fallen off in terms of visual appeal.

The slide looks way oversized, and I find the cuts to be way too big and obnoxious. Looks almost like something that would come out of Turkey. The grip ergonomics are good, but I hate that they’ve gone from the ambi paddle mag release to the standard button.

What happened between the P99 and PDP? Were they vying for some big military contract with its particular design, or something else? It certainly doesn’t look like the natural evolution of the P99.
