WALTHER PDP ARTICLES AND REVIEWS
We’ve curated all of the Walther PDP written articles we could find and we’ve put them all here in one place for your perusal. Why? Because despite what you may have heard, we believe that the written word is still a powerful thing and we know that a lot of you still have the attention span to read. Prove us right. SPOILER ALERT: Most of the articles have videos and pics.
Much like the WALTHER PDP REVIEWS, PODCASTS, AND UNBOXING VIDEOS article we put together, this article will be updated as we discover new “word art” posted.
WALTHER PDP: Match-Grade Performance and Bar Brawl Toughness
RecoilWeb.com | By: Tom Marshall
Our introduction to the PDP line came at Walther’s product launch event several months back. This gave us the opportunity to put nearly 2,000 rounds downrange through both the 4.5-inch full-size and 4-inch compact Walther PDPs equipped with DeltaPoint Pro optics. This included multiple shooting events under the supervision of top-notch instructors like Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project, Bill Blowers of Tap-Rack-Tactical, Jim Dexter of Tactically Sound, and Tatiana Whitlock. We favored the compact model for most of the event, running it out of a C&G AIWB holster. We shot the PDP under time constraints, under night vision, and as far as over 40 yards. This included unconventional shooting positions, single-handed drills from both hands, and reloads/malfunction drills.

Back in September of 2020, I flew to Illinois to check out a new pistol rollout from Walther. I’ve been lucky enough to attend a few such events over the years, but this introduction was fated to be different. The few invitees were not only slated to shoot the guns, but it turns out we were going to train with them too. Even better, the caliber of our instructors put them among the best in the nation and worthy of the excellent weapon being released – the Walther PDP (Performance Duty Pistol).

REVIEW: Walther Arms PDP
AmericanRifleman.org | By: Justin Dyal
I attended a multi-day launch event where Walther introduced a small group of writers to the new pistols and had us shoot the PDPs in aggressive training blocks delivered by Walther Defense Division-sponsored trainers. We shot Leupold DeltaPoint Pro-equipped PDPs hard over several days—from concealment, on the move, under low light and night vision, from grounded/wounded scenarios, and much more. At the conclusion, I had a great sense of the new pistols’ potential and then spent another few months shooting them against my standard drills and training with them.
Walther PDP Full Size: New 18+1 Capacity Pistol Built to Use Red Dot

It is hard to believe at times that it has been almost 11 years since Walther launched its popular PPQ pistol. I am dating myself, but I remember working with it just before release and thought it was a pretty darn solid shooter. A decade and change later, Walther has taken all its customer feedback, mixed it with its engineering prowess and created the Walther PDP Full Size 9mm pistol.

WALTHER PDP 9mm Pistol: Full Review
GunsAndAmmo.com | By: Eric R. Poole
The texture on the PDP is more aggressive than that on the PPQ models, which has been a point of criticism of the PPQ. The PPQ feels snappier to some shooters because of the height of the slide and the reciprocating mass above the bore’s center axis. The PDP’s slide is better engineered for how slide mass is distributed, and the design of its new texture and grip mold resulted in better control than the PPQ offered.
Ready for duty: A first look at Walther Arms’ Performance Duty Pistol
Police1.com | By: Sean Curtis
To say the least, I was impressed with the PDP. Walther sent us out with top-notch trainers and had us shoot at a determined pace over the course of the two days. You have to be confident to send that many media types out to the range with a truckload of ammo and cut them loose. The guns ran reliably despite the continual onslaught.
NEW Walther PDP (Performance Duty Pistol) 9mm
ConcealedNation.org | By: TheFireArmGuy
How could Walther top their flagship PPQ handgun? Let’s face it, the Walther PPQ’s design, ergonomics, smoother trigger, and shooting accuracy would be hard to improve upon. On Tuesday, February 16th, Walther ended all of the speculation with the announcement of their new pistol called the Walther PDP (Performance Duty Pistol).
Walther PDP: New “Performance Duty Pistol” Line Is Walther’s Best Yet
GUNS.COM | By: BALLISTIC STAFF
We actually first shot the PDP back at the 2020 Athlon Outdoors Rendezvous, which we held in September in Idaho. The PDP is an entirely new pistol line. It builds on the very popular Walther PPQ line, and does it well.
Review: Walther PDP Handgun in 9mm
ShootingIllustrated.com | By: Daniel T. McElrath
All told, Walther’s greatest achievement with the PDP may be this: It is (for me) the most complete out-of-the-box, striker-fired pistol available at anywhere near the price. Despite the gun described above, I am not a tinkerer by nature, just picky. This would be one pistol I could live with in stock configuration, yet—remarkably—it may also be the simplest to modify, should you so desire.
