Walter PDP SD PRO Compact

[Baldheaded]

I put my hands on one of these today and fell in love. I think I am going to sell my FNS and buy one. I really don't know much about the gun other than what I have seen on YouTube videos. It feels really nice in my hand the trigger is butter. It checks all my boxes. Does anyone here have one and can share some thoughts? Or just thoughts about Walter guns? I was leaning towards a CZ shadow 2 compact but not sure now. Walter is much cheaper in cost although that isn't a deal breaker. I do like that the Walter has a threaded barrel which I don't think you can get on the CZ. Does anyone here own both and can compare?

I have a ccp. My wife has a different model (escapes me this early). We both love them.

Never heard of WALTER brand pistols.

Good looking for sure. Can't really tell how "compact" it is, but I hate threaded barrels on what is supposed to be a "smaller" carry gun. If anything is going to snag on something during a draw, it's going to be that barrel. Not some squared off edge on the back of a slide or whatever. Also that mag well needs to come off.
All pistol slides should be cut this aggressive. It is so industrially beautiful.

I have both, the CZ Compact shoots lights out for me. Will probably sell the Walther as I never shoot it...

I have the original Walther PPQ model and like it so much I went out and bought a PDP. I also went with the PDP Pro, but opted for the full size. It is my main gun when I go to range. The trigger is excellent out the box, It is Red Dot Ready and has been flawless with over 1K rounds. Make sure you are getting 3 Mags with it, Walther had a shortage on the 18 Rd Mags and shipped many with just 2, they are about 70 each and hard to find. Also if you don't need the threaded barrel don't be afraid to consider the other PDP models, the trigger is pretty good in them as well. Be prepared to wait on Optics plate which you should order ASAP even if you don't need it now. I would be glad to let you shoot mine at Flate Broke or Cindys, PM me.

I wasn’t planning on buying it for my carry. I just liked the way the compact felt in my hand. I might consider using it suppressed as my nightstand gun. The one I looked at yesterday was threaded, optics cut, and had 3 18 round mags.

Thanks for sharing. I know a lot of guys that just love the CZ’s.

IMHO, It would be a great choice.

I really thought my next pistol would be a steel frame or 1911. I don’t have either yet.

I am 1000s rounds in on my 2000s round shake down (no cleaning). Once done, it will be my carry piece. And yes, CZs snatched me away from my Glock-Fan-Bois of the year title! LOL

$1899. That does sting. That’s getting close to Wilson Combat range.

I got mine from Elite Firearms for 1299, I did have to wait a bit. Give them a call.

I will keep them in mind if I decide on the Walter. Thanks.

Yeah, I've has this p99as since about 2007. It's cool seeing this general pistol design spreading like wildfire over the years. From the canik models to the ppq(derived from the polish rad p99), it's evolved a bit.

$1299 was for the CZ, not the Walther. Sorry for the confusion.
