Editor’s Note: "The PDP F-Series is an evolution of a very fine handgun into something much more palatable for smaller-handed shooters. All the great features of the original PDP have been carried over into a reduced circumference grip and reduced length of pull." - Sean Curtis

By The Numbers
Accuracy
Accuracy was great, although the groups widened slightly after shooting for a while.
Reliability
Like the original, the F ran great with everything we fed it. Those with bigger hands may cause false slide hold opens, so beware.
Customization
There is good aftermarket support for the PDP, and many things will translate. The slide is the same (other than the optics plate), and most other things are similar.
Ergonomics
The ergonomics on the PDP were already class-leading in my mind. The F opens that up to a wider array of shooters.

FINAL VERDICT
"I really didn’t have many notes for Walther when they made the PDP in the first place. The gun is a solid value and true performer. The one thing they realized, though, was the opportunity to make it more accessible to a wider segment of folks who enjoy shooting. This truly is one of the best possible upgrades!" - Sean Curtis
