The Walther PDP Full Size delivers enhanced ergonomics and accuracy improvements over traditional striker-fired pistols through its Performance Duty Polymer design. This optic-ready platform accommodates red dot sights without adapter plates while maintaining the reliability expected from professional-grade firearms.
What Makes This Different
The PDP features Walther's SuperTerrain Slide Serrations that provide 68% more gripping surface than conventional designs. The Performance Duty trigger achieves a consistent 5.5-pound pull with tactile reset, while the ergonomic grip angle reduces muzzle flip by approximately 15% compared to standard polymer frames. Dynamic Performance Trigger technology eliminates pre-travel and over-travel for faster follow-up shots.
