The Walther PDP Full Size delivers enhanced ergonomics and trigger performance in a duty-ready 9mm platform. This striker-fired pistol addresses common grip angle and trigger reset issues found in standard polymer handguns through Walther's Performance Duty Pistol engineering.
What Makes This Different
The PDP features Walther's SuperTerrain slide serrations and Performance Duty Trigger with a crisp break and short reset. The modular grip system accepts interchangeable backstraps and side panels for custom fit adjustment. Optics-ready slide machining accommodates popular red dot sights without adapter plates, while the enlarged trigger guard provides gloved operation clearance.
Key Features
- 4.5-inch barrel with polygonal rifling for enhanced accuracy and velocity
- 20-round magazine capacity with steel construction and witness holes
- Optics-ready slide cut compatible with RMR, DeltaPoint Pro, and similar footprints
- SuperTerrain slide serrations front and rear for positive manipulation
- Ambidextrous slide stop and reversible magazine release

Range testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The full-size frame provides stable shooting platform for competition use, while the duty-grade construction handles adverse conditions. Law enforcement agencies have adopted the PDP for its reliability in temperature extremes and after exposure to dust and moisture.
