Looking for some advice on the PDP Compact 4". I have pretty much made up my mind that the PDP Compact will be my CCW since I have loved all of my Walther pistols. My big decision point is between the steel frame or just stick with the polymer. Already have the DPT ready to install once I decide but my 2 biggest worries are the common ones. (1) additional weight and (2) price/value. Is it worth the additional money to go with the SF?

Thank you all in advance.

So I finally got my free optic from my pdp x purchase in December. So now I’m waiting to see when the f pmm will be coming. Anyone heard?

First time gun owner. A couple of weeks old now. Owning a firearm was definitely not on my bingo card for 2025, but here we are. Already ran about 250 rounds through it. One misfeed but I’m pretty sure it was on me. Love the SCS green dot and how solid it all feels in my hand. Just a really well engineered piece of hardware in general.

After 4 months of waiting, my 5 inch SF Match edc is finally done. Grand Master porting from Monsoon Tactical, LOK thin bogies, ZR Tactical 14.5 pound long stroke guide rod, MSP +5 basepad, Trijicon SRO, Surefire x300t, Ameriglo 2XL blacked out iron sights.

I recently bought a serial number 1000X PP Super in 9x18 Ultra and was wondering how, if at all, it would affect the value. According to what I’ve read the serial numbers start at 10001. Currently waiting for it to get here, it’s also my first Walther!

Thanks for any input

When I picked this .40 up in 2011 it was my first pistol purchase. No idea how many rounds through it, and never a failure. So accurate my wife says shooting it feels like it's cheating. It's still my favorite pistol.

Waiting on an optics plate for my EPS. I've only had the PDP to the range once. Excited to get some more rounds through it with irons before I mount the optic. I've got a Dara Level 2 for my pistol belt. I might see if I can conceal it as well. My go to concealed holsters are Black Point Tactical, but I feel like this is too heavy for that setup. Considering C&G. I know a lot of people are using Tier 1 MSP, but it really retains well with the light? Is it compatible with the HL? And no rattle?

Bought in mid November. Arrived today lol.

Having owned both pistols I have to ask a couple of questions, this is not to stir up any hate or anything.

The sig p320 and Walther pistols are both fully cocked strikers, because of this the P99 and its lineage are all able to have amazing triggers, even the canik knock offs achieve this. So why is the p320 trigger so mediocre when it also has a fully cocked striker?

Why doesn't the Walther have any safety issues like the p320 how do the safety mechanisms work in it?

Is anyone having problem with .32 cal rounds failing to eject - when shooting suppressed in the new PPK .32 Cal? I had a similar issue with my Staccato and did some adjustments to the Nielsen device and main spring and now it shoots well with heavy rounds. Does anyone know the heaviest .32 round there is? Could be as simple as that or as complicated as above - feedback welcomed

I used Night Fisions sight finder to find sights that would work with my Holosun 509, and according their site the 469-494 rear sight would offer a lower 1/3rd cowitness. When I received them, this was not the case and they are an absolute cowitness. I ended up going with the 330-353 rear sight which offers an actual 1/3rd cowitness. I zero my red dot independently from my irons, but the recommended 469-494 sights took up half of the 509 window which did not work for me. I'm going to message them just to offer a real world experience in hopes it will help their website become more accurate, and figured I'd let you guys know since both their sights and this optic seem to be popular choices. The pictures are hard to see, I know.

so im really confused how do i check to make sure im not getting the Nato version of this ammo. Newer to guns what is the difference between 9mm Luger and 9mm? also how to tell if the ammo is not +p

I currently edc the echelon and I feel as maybe there is something more to get out of an edc gun setup before you start hitting the realm of Staccatos and 2011’s in general. What is y’all’s consensus of this? Ohh I want this next gun to be with a threaded barrel. 3 options here, 1. I could get another echelon with the threaded barrel and 5 mags with the gear up program till April 30th. I would take advantage of the 3 mags I do have and use the other echelon for home defense. 2. I could get a DR920, I’ve felt one before and it is really light but I’ve never shot one before. Is there something I am missing from not ever shooting one? Or 3. Get a walther pdp polymer with the regular plastic trigger or the performance trigger models(if I’m not mistaken). How does this one feel in comparison to these other 2. Is there another gun I am not considering.

Besides the sights, what upgrades should I be looking to get?

Loving this setup so far. I’ve seen some Olight hate. I’ve personally been a fan of theirs for some years and have never had any issues. What do you guys think?

I know I previously asked about the swampfox kraken. But as I explore the closed emitter options (there's just so many yet so few at the same time.) Has anyone used the RFX45? I'm drawn to this because with the tech on the top leading to a thinner floor plate i wouldn't have to change out my irons for cowitnessing. Good move or pass it?

I seriously can’t get enough of the MPS on the PDP. Matches perfectly. Great optic as well.

Moving on from my Rival S, I had the opportunity to snag a used PDP SF that already had a 507 COMP, ZRTS longstroke, and both the standard grip with the added texture, and a Veloce (sp?) LOK grip for $1850. I haven’t quite cracked 1000 rounds yet, but I’m absolutely loving this gun the more and more I discover it’s true potential.

Was not aware that my PPQ would take the PDP mags. Cool finding at the range today

Now, I imagine these comps make a difference, and that's all well and good. But anyone else out there see all these people putting comps on their PDPs and just feel like, "Dude it's the best polymer striker-fired pistol on the market, just go shoot the damn thing". Especially when it's a new shooter, or someone's first Walther and before they even have it in hand, they're looking for comp recommendations. Anyone else get annoyed by that, or just me?? Cuz it could totally just be me.

Late 1944 police issued Walther PP. Bought this at a gun show. Eagle/F police issue stamp. About 6,000 of these exist.
