Thank you so much for this video for beginners with the Walter PDP. I just received my and I put about 300 rounds in it. Absolutely love this weapon. But by me having arthritis, I wanted to also make sure that I didn’t have to take anyone to get it clean and I can do it myself and you made it so easy thank you for sharing this. Normally I make sure I can break a weapon down before I buy it, but it was something about this one that I jumped the gun purchased first , but grace of God I’m able to do it again. I appreciate you making these videos thank you. God bless you.

Little cleaning tip: Q-Tips, especially cheap versions, can leave little cotton strands or minute debris on slide rails, trigger mechanism, etc. I recommend getting (or stealing some of your significant other's) eye make-up applicators. They're as small as q-tips but do not shed at all.

@TerminalM193 2 года назад

Even the slightest amount of carbon buildup after firing acouple shots will be 1k times more of a hindrance than a qtip strand inside a well maintained and lubricated firearm. Not knocking your idea whatsoever, especially if you want to put the gun away for any length of time but for years now I've seen people treat qtips like they're the plague when it comes to firearms lol. Getting ready for the weekly range trip qtips are amazing, but storage the example you gave is perfect, especially the ones that are tough enough that can be used and washed clean acouple times.

Cleaner lubricant preservative. It's like putting water in your whiskey to get hammered, and hydrated at the same time. It's like putting NyQuil in your coffee to stay awake, and chilled at the same time. It's like mixing oil, and grease in your brake parts cleaner, to clean, lubricate, and protect the same time.

Remember that when you use it, the initial application and removal does just that, gets rid of the muck. The additional applications lube and protect.

I recently picked up the pdp f 3.5, just got back from the range to break it in & zero it. Was using this video as guide to cleaning it. Great tips btw, I was using the brass patch holder on the slide & it seem to scratch a bit wher the serial# on the slide is, reassemble it & did a function test, still ok, idk if the scratch will do anything, I’m a first time gun owner so idk much. As well do I need to clean the striker often? I don’t see myself going to the range much but just want to know.

@RikkiTikkiTavi290 11 месяцев назад

This is the only PDP field strip video I've found that doesn't show heavy scratching on the underside of the barrel from where I assume the recoil spring is contacting the barrel somehow. I first noticed it in Hickok45's PDP video and when I brought it up I was pretty surprised ( first that he actually responded to me at all) that he got inexplicably mad at me and totally discounted the very obvious heavy scratching and even metal shavings. Was a very strange way to react to a valid concern about a review of a brand new pistol at the time. Seems like maybe Walther fixed the problem or it was a QC issue but its still holding me back from purchase. Nice concise and helpful cleaning video, loved your delivery.

@RikkiTikkiTavi290 11 месяцев назад

Upon closer inspection it actually looks like yours has the same scratching although nowhere near as much as most. Any thoughts or have you noticed it?

I picked up both CLP and ballistol. I'm about to sit down and clean my first pistol for the first time. Can the CLP or the ballistol also be used to clean all the polymer on the outside of the gun and then run a dry patch over to get rid of any access? Also, can both ballistol and CLP be used for both cleaning AND lubing or should I use them for cleaning, dry up the cleaning solution and then apply actual lubricant?

Yes on that first question. You can use both CLP and Ballistol to clean, lube and protect. I think CLP is a bit thicker when applied but Ballistol is solid.

Why did you only clean it with oil? I'm still new to this so I'm genuinely curious. Every video I've seen uses a cleaner then oil. They say not to cake it with oil at all and that looks caked.

@travisp11 Год назад

The oil that I use which is either Clenzoil or Safariland CLP are cleaner, lubricant, protectants. So they break down carbon, and function as a lubricant. It takes two steps to make it work. Apply CLP, scrub and/or wipe off, apply second coat with cotton patch.

@rdizzo1313 9 месяцев назад

I use a CLP spray and spray out the whole gun. I use a paint brush with semi soft bristles and some oil and cleaner to clean the more stubborn stuff out. Dry the gun completely, blow out with an air gun then re-oil. Youll have a more perfect clean gun at that point.

@JudokaEric Год назад

Way too much oil. Walther is pretty specific in a few drops in a few key places and not all over (especially not the slide). You do not need to clean the recoil spring assembly with oil. Just go to the Walther website and watch their videos on the right way to clean a PDP. Similar to a Glock, these are DRY pistols with drops of lubrication in key areas of the pistol which Walther details in the manual. I have over 5k rounds and mine and probably have used less oil than in this vid and it works as it should....

@travisp11 Год назад

For the first few range trips I tend to use a bit more than is advised. Then after that it’s mainly the rails and barrel that get light lube

@Argonaut80 Год назад

I’m gonna have to agree. That’s a lot of oil. I also just put 100 rounds through a brand new 4.5in, and probably won’t clean it until after 1000, or if it begins to malfunction. If I were going to store it long term, I may have used that much oil, but would wipe as much oil off as possible before using it. Excess oil attracts dirt, that causes excessive wear.
