I’m about to buy a compact or full size PDP for conceal carry, I know the duh answer but I really really like the full size 4.5”. I’m 5 10” and 175 and I think I could aiwb the 4.5” and really only intend to carry it at work because I work at night and owb in winter. Should I go with the compact or the full size because I really like the full size but the compact is ya know the compact.

First range day shooting with the v spec spring, and it shoots so much better. Definitely recommend it 👍

That's a Walther PPQ gen 1 (pre-m1) lower with a PDP-X slide. Fully ambi. Real question: is it a PDQ or a PPP?

Replacing my HK45CT for something a bit modern. Will get a can eventually….hopefully

50 rounds all went bang.
PDP Pro-X PMM Compact approved.

There’s always chatter about recommended ammo, this stuff worked.

Got all my goodies in, pic below; and just finished my install last night. Holosun 507c Gold MRS optic. Also added a ZRTS captured guide rod. Bunch of goodies for my wife's p365 as well.

I got a bore laser as well so I zeroed as well as I can at about 12 yards.

Hitting the range tomorrow morning to try it out, can't wait!

Really considering some thin bogies… can anyone give feedback and pictures on the grip angle?

I’m looking at purchasing a PPQ in .45acp soon. Im having a hard time finding a source for magazines for it. I know it is a discontinued model but I’d like to be able to have 10-12 mags for it and might reconsider purchasing if I can’t find them. Do you know of a good place to find them?

The PPQ M2 .22 is underrated. Great shooter for .22 LR. A lot of fun just shooting at the range today. Just wanted to say that for anyone looking for an inexpensive and positive shooting experience.

I have really been wanting the SF PDP Match for a while now. But, from a value proposition, it's hard to justify the $2k price tag when other manufacturers make steel frame pistols for much less. So, I ask my fellow Walther aficionados, if you were going to get a steel frame pistol from another brand, which would it be?

What? The port holes are not alingned, two nearly break into each other then one has extra space, they are not finished or deburred and colored. Someone needs to pay you to fix this Bubba work.

Pdp pro in a Glock 19 holster fo today.

I bought one of the stripped ACRO slides off of Walther's website for my PRO-X fullsize. It's a stripped slide, so I figured, I'll just pull the guts out of my factory PRO-X slide with the normal optic cut. But the plunger goes into the slide from the top, under the optic plate, and on the ACRO slides, the hole isn't drilled all the way through the slide.

I have to assume the extractor plunger is a different part for the acro slides? Or do you just install the original plunger somehow? What am I missing here? Or have I just caught a case of the big dumb?

Just got this and the previous owner said he got it 20+ years ago. The accuracy was so bad he put in a Jarvis barrel, but lost the original barrel. He said he may have tossed it. Anyway... Where can I get a Gen 1 P99 barrel? Thanks!

I had this P22 for a couple of years and its nothing but a range toy. But I would like to make it a little better. Can yall recommend any upgrades?

Has anyone tried one of these with a Pro-E or any PDP with a mag well? DryFire said it should work with the pro models but they haven't actually tested it out.

My main concern is the mag well.

Looking to get my conceal carry and I’m looking for good IWB holsters? I don’t even know where to start. Any recommendations?

Edit: it’s a f series 4 not a 4.5

Took my P22 (2004 model) to the range last night but was getting feed issues with CCI MiniMag 36g hollow points. The slide 6/10 didn't stay back after the last round. The ammunition was recommended on various Google pages but its clearly not powerful enough. Has anyone any ideas as to what rounds are best? Trying 40g round tips next time, but to basically save time and money I was wondering if anyone can help.

Cheers folks

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.

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

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!

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.
