Editor’s Note: "The Walther PDP is extremely well done. Whether you are a concealed carrier, home defender, or officer on the street, it is an excellent option. Its grip is superlative, the accuracy is very good, and I’ve only experienced a couple of issues I likely caused. In short, the gun is highly reliable in my mind. The controls are well-placed, and the trigger is superb for a striker-fired weapon." - Sean Curtis

By The Numbers
Accuracy
The PDP is accurate if you do your part, the trigger and the barrel complement each other nicely.
Reliability
I found it took abusive levels of dryness to cause any type of malfunction. Otherwise, they kept trucking.
Customization
Walther has done a good job of offering several accessories if you want to further customize your PDP such as triggers, extended mag releases, baseplates, threaded barrels, and more.
Ergonomics
This gun feels great but smaller hands may struggle.

FINAL VERDICT
The Walther PDP is an accurate, reliable, fun to run, and ergonomically very pleasing pistol. Overall, it's a great gun! If you're looking for a full-size pistol that isn't the usual Sig or Glock, you can't go wrong with the PDP.
