The Walther PDP Pro-X represents the evolution of striker-fired pistol design, combining competition-grade performance with duty-ready reliability. This 9mm platform delivers enhanced ergonomics and improved trigger dynamics over standard polymer pistols. Built on Walther's proven Performance Duty Pistol foundation, the Pro-X variant incorporates refinements that elevate both accuracy potential and operational efficiency.
What Makes This Different
The PDP Pro-X features Walther's SuperTerrain Slide Serrations for positive manipulation under adverse conditions, while the Performance Duty Trigger provides a crisp break with reduced overtravel. The pistol's low bore axis design reduces muzzle flip by approximately 15% compared to traditional striker-fired designs. Walther's Dynamic Performance Trigger system delivers consistent 5.5-6.0 pound trigger pulls with minimal creep and a tactile reset.
