The Walther PDP Compact delivers enhanced ergonomics and performance in a size optimized for concealed carry and duty use. This 9mm pistol combines Walther's proven reliability with modern features that address real-world shooting demands.
What Makes This Different
The PDP (Performance Duty Pistol) represents Walther's evolution beyond traditional striker-fired designs. The SuperTerrain slide serrations provide 40% more gripping surface than standard serrations, while the Performance Duty trigger offers a crisp break with short reset. The optics-ready slide accepts popular red dot sights without requiring adapter plates for most major brands.

- Optics-ready slide compatible with RMR, DeltaPoint Pro, and other popular red dots
- 4-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with Tenifer finish for extended service life

Field testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The compact frame balances concealability with shootability, making it suitable for law enforcement duty carry, competitive shooting, and personal protection. The Tenifer-coated slide and barrel resist corrosion in harsh environments while maintaining accuracy through extended round counts.
