PDP Professional. Is it best striker fired duty sized pistol? 

Been my edc past 6 months and I absolutely love ergo's,trigger, natural point of aim,optic ready=W

ordered mine from Walther 4/10/24 arrived at ffl 4/27

@@jeromebussey8876 that price was given to me at shot show that may be dept price or if you order from Walther direct

The drop leg is old tech, if you are not using the holster for work, the level 3 ALS/SLS is overkill our modded 6390RDS is a great option and 60.00 cheaper.

The full size PDP match polymer is on sale for around 899, has those sweet lightning cuts since the LE edition is so exclusive for us regular folks 😂

As LE we can get the PDP Pro SD for $550

My agency is hiring

@@itsjustashow From where?Unless that’s the agency price. I’m looking at the IOP Walther pdf available on their website right now and it’s $735 for the PDP pro SD.

@@itsjustashow threaded barrel, different trigger, and no ACRO

Simple the steel frame is heavier

@@user-dt4gc3vi3m it does not. There has only been one holster for the last 4 years.

it's 4,5 inch vs. 5 inch of the match. The match has the slide cuts which the professional doesn't. The match has cheap plastic sights while the professional has steel night sights

@@playerseven777 Thanks

I could be wrong but I believe the PDP's with the 2.0 cut dont have this issue anymore... I know my compact with the 2.0 cut and my wifes F-series with the 2.0 cut dont have this issue but I cant say 100% all dont

This is the reply I got from Walther, back in March when I ask about this. The factory implemented a running change in our PDP Slides as it relates to the milled area of Disconnector Curve. The original design functioned as follows: if the gun is out of battery and the trigger is NOT pulled, then once the slide returns into battery, the trigger remains live. However, if the trigger is pulled with the Slide out of battery, the trigger will be dead when the slide returns to battery. With the new Slide design, it prevents the trigger from going dead even with it being pulled when the slide is out of battery. There is no retrofit for the original PDP slides as they are milled to specific dimensions. If you would like to purchase a new slide (based on availability) you are welcome to purchase a bare Slide at the following pricing: 4” Slide is $245, 4.5” Slide is $252 and the 5” slide is $275. This would require you to transfer all of the slide components from the original Slide to this New one. Or, you could purchase a completely assembled New slide for $395.) Hope is helps you.

​@@pcb8639DO you work for walther be cause that was one hell of an answer

They fixed that issue on the newer versions

@@massiveaction6217 No, that is what they sent me.

@@12_nine9 i honestly have never even looked all my rds pistol i zero at 25 yds. I start at 10. Move to 15 and then final zero at 25yds. Me personally even if the pistol and RDS claimed to be zeroed at X distance im still going to re-zero for myself since i will be the one shooting it.

I just ordered a couple of the captureed 15lb springs. I am curious, I feel my 4” is ok but the 4.5 needs help. So I’m gonna try the 15 in both pistols. And see, a lot of guys swear by them.

@@rdrgear ok cool

@@HVACR_ToolNut this is the PDP professional as i stated in the review, this gun is the LE pistol that walther offers as their contract gun. It comes with the ACRO direct milled to the pistol slide. I believe these are now offered at the retail leave as well. Don’t get too caught is the “rds depth” rabbit hole. The direct mil is to cater to LE agencies so they are not mounting 300-500 red dot plates.

Did you not watch the video? He says it multiple times that his is but not all of them. You will have to get a plate or get it milled.

Maybe I missed it but thanks for being a dyck inside of a simple yes or no.🖕🏼

@@mikejaan66 to answer your question, to my knowledge this gun is cut for a acro p2. Which is why its so low. and the sites co witness. Picking mine up this week

No. This is a dedicated model. That is Acro only. It’s marketed to the LE consumer base. You can buy the pro model, and use the coupon code for your free plate. Most who are purchasing the PDP Professional will most likely not switch optics in the future. However if you are a person who likes to swap and try new red dots, and don’t have multiple pistols. Using the plate system will always be a better way than going direct milled. I prefer the milled over the plate when I can.

It comes down to personal preference. I have the PDP and Q5 Match. I also have 6 Sigs from 365 XL, 3 320s 9mm, 1 320 45 ACP and the X 10 - 10mm. All the Sigs put together wouldn't come close to the PDP in over performance and the Walther has the best out of the box triggers on the market. Even with 1 of the 320s being custom built it's not close to the PDP IMO. Again it's personal preference for me, as stated I can't say the Sigs are even close to the PDP. Happy shotting.

@@arlissyoung8899 agreed, and why different makes is the greatest part of the Stryker fired pistol, and the development since Glock, each shooter has their own likes and dislikes. For me the PDP just never cut the SIG, I'd definitely run it over a glock, I have to say it has a better trigger than the M&P. Not knocking it, the PDP just wasn't my favorite.

@@jw5297 And there's not a thing wrong with that at all. I have a number of Glocks and they are my least liked of my line up. There good guns but there's things I don't like at all about them, grip angel and trigger being the biggest part and it greatly butt hurts the Glock fan boys. Sorry guys, there's better guns to be had IMO. Happy Shotting even if a single shot, keep sending them down range with what you like.

@@arlissyoung8899 💯

@@michael1of2 Rdrgear.com under the Safariland tab then the modified holsters tab. You will the 6390 and 6360 for the 4.5”‘pdp email us Or shoot me a dm On ig if you get stuck

@@bgrimmriv6529 they are there under the Safariland tab.

No reason for you maybe, for others the all steel frame is preferred. And the price is not an issue

I have the PDP Match Steel Frame for 1799 and it’s worth every damn penny. Also got the PDP Professional for really good introductory price. Now it’s going up.

@@trevorj203 what kind of holster? We offer Safariland support for the pdp.

@@rdrgear and it will fit this handgun?

@@TheMikeshannon these are basically all the comments posted on line. I have 4 and have yet to have any issues.

@@TheMikeshannon comment on your experience with multiple Aimpoint failures. I personally have had none. I agree there have been some.

​@@rdrgear two examples Ben stoeger and velox training group. They're both professional instructors who have mentioned having a ton of issues. Another PD had an order or 60 or so acros and broke 20+ of them. I don't have personal experience because I'm not dumb enough to waste my money on one

​@@rdrgear from velox training groups acro video "I have seen more breakages with acros than any other optic"

@@TheMikeshannon you have seen or heard? Big difference.

Snappy different to everyone. The ZR 15lb spring makes a difference.

NO, IT'S NOT SNAPPY AT ALL!

@@thevet7420 wait till the follow up video drops wit the ZR Tactical recoil spring. I felt the same way as you. But now I’m a convert to the ZR Tactical.

@@jeffreystone8681 not this one. The professional comes with the Acro.

Currently in my opinion yes. But but everyone has their flavor

What pistol are you currently shooting

THE BEST!!!!

The acro is just dog shit. Their rifle dots are great

Glock over a Walther PDP? Either you’re joking, under 25 years old, or a wannabe gangsta. 🤣

What he said?^^^ Plus, I would never take your recommendation on where is a good place to eat! 😂 Jk. You do you. ​@@TMAquatics

@@TMAquatics no I just like .45 over 9mm smh ya pretentious prick

You won’t regret it

The guide rod isn't an issue wether it is or isn't plastic. Even glock uses a plastic guide rod
