The Walther PDP delivers enhanced ergonomics and optic-ready versatility for duty and competition applications. This full-size striker-fired pistol combines proven German engineering with modern tactical features in a distinctive green polymer frame configuration.

The optic-ready slide accepts popular red dot sights without adapter plates, while the Performance Duty Texture provides superior grip control in wet conditions. Ambidextrous controls accommodate both left and right-handed shooters without modification.
