The fullsize Walther PDP 9mm with Trijicon RM06, Surefire X300u, and Modlite handheld.
Last September, Walther sent me and several others to a media event for the release of the PDP series. The event was structured around the Walther Defense Division courses as a working introduction to the pistols. There we had access to both the fullsize and the compact PDPs with or without optics depending on the shooter's preference. We could shoot as much as we wanted and we all definitely did. After the event, we all recieved a fullsized and compact PDP for our own.
My impressions of the pistol then as well as now are quite favorable. The pistol has features that I find important such as being optics ready, it uses Glock sights, easily manipulated controls, the outstanding Walther striker fired trigger, incredibly effective forward serrations, and a well textured fullsized grip that allowed 18 round capacity magazines. The accuracy is as good if not better than the leading competitors. I shoot these better than I shoot most of my stock polymer striker fired guns. For a relatively lightweight gun, its recoil is rather soft. In a world of many options, this one offers pretty much only positives, I have not yet encountered any negatives. I am a big fan of having options.
The fullsize PDP has a standard 18 round capacity magazine, while the compact uses existing 15 round PPQ magazines.
At release, aftermarket support will already be in place. I already have several holsters for these pistols from Phlster, Dark Star Gear, and even a Safariland duty holster.
Would I carry this edc? Yes.
Would I carry this on duty? Yes.
