The Walther PDP F-Series delivers enhanced ergonomics and performance engineering in a compact striker-fired platform. This 9mm pistol combines Walther's proven reliability with modern features that address the demands of serious shooters. Built with precision manufacturing standards, the PDP F-Series represents a significant evolution in polymer-framed handgun design.
What Makes This Different
The PDP F-Series incorporates Walther's Performance Duty Pistol technology with an optimized grip texture and enhanced trigger system. Unlike standard polymer pistols, this model features interchangeable backstraps and side panels for custom fit adjustment. The steel slide construction provides superior durability compared to aluminum alternatives, with a service life rated for over 50,000 rounds. The 4-inch barrel length offers an ideal balance between concealability and ballistic performance.
