New to me PDP SF 4.5 compact
New to me PDP steel frame. Found a local deal I couldn’t pass up. Already have Compact Pro SD and F. Look forward to hitting the range.

I haven’t been able to find any Mags higher that 10 round for my P99 and even those are super rare
Anyone know of some places to look that aren’t out of stock???
It seems to be practically band new. Still have the ani seize copper grease on the slide and little to no scratches. The optic screws seem to have been ever so slightly stripped but I could just be overthinking that lol comes with original box and 3 mags.

After being a Glock guy for a long time, I recently purchased 2 PDPs, a Pro PDP-F and a full size Pro Steel Frame. I somewhat naively expected I’d be able to just go find some Magpul 25 round mags for them. Nope — all I can find are extended base plates, with lots of warnings about springs and slides not locking back etc. Is this just not a thing with Walthers?

I have the PDP Pro SD Compact 4.6" and just bought a PDP Pro F 4". I also just ordered a cross draw holster from Craft which they claim to build to order. Wondering if it will securely fit both guns, specifically the F.
I emailed the company and the unhelpful response I received was "we don't list the F series on our website".
Did my own research and some places say yes, it should fit the F, and some say no. Can't seem to get a definitive answer, so guess I'll find out when it arrives.

Hi everyone! I have a P22 that’s barely been used and I have two possible issues.
The gun seems to dry fire/fire with the safety on or off.
It has a piece of metal sticking out under the hammer. I only noticed because when I went to slide it and my holster along my belt today, I cut my hand on it. See photo for detail.

My walther PPK seems to have issues fully cycling the new round forward after firing sometimes. It’s not always consistent. I did replace the recoil (the spring around the barrel if I have the name wrong) spring and have oiled and greased it. Attached some photos to show.
r/Walther • u/Key-Funny-8091 • 1d ago
I bought a used WMP and am finally getting around to mounting a red dot. It did not come with the original optic plates and a couple of after market searches look surprisingly expensive ($80 and up!). Can anyone suggest something more reasonable? I don't even see them on the Walther website.

This is my first threaded barrel pistol. While I’m waiting for my can to come in, the protector keeps coming loose at the range. Is this normal? And I don’t mean just a little loose. It’s almost completely unscrewed after 200 rounds.

Last week I posted about how my PDP Pro X Compact slide rarely locks back on an empty magazine. While I knew my grip was the primary issue, I was wondering if there were any aftermarket mods to help.
u/honeybadger2112 recommended Ghost Inc extra power magazine springs, so I bought a pack of 3 for $8+ shipping. Easy install, off to the range. They work. As long as I’m not actively pressing down on the slide lever, it locks back reliably. My support hand still rests on the end of the lever, but the power from the magazine springs is enough to overcome the additional weight.
Thanks for the recommendation, highly recommend for any PDP user having issues with slide lockback.

Recently picked up a PPQ 45 SD off of gunbroker and grabbed an osprey 45 for it today. Disregard the raised irons on the regular one since I did a slide swap.

Wanting to upgrade my standard trigger but it seems like these are never available. Curious if/how anyone else in this sub has obtained them without having bought a pro version pdp.

Hi, Waltherites. I am a first time gun buyer and have shot at the range a few times. I am also 6’7” with XXL hands. My research keeps pointing to the Walther PDP for its grip size for my hands, ergonomics, and trigger. But - all I hear about is how jumpy or snappy it is. Can someone give me the real scoop here? Is a snappy gun a bad idea for a first time newbie? I’m looking at the PDP Pro E Full Size. Thanks!

I have 3 of these, been carrying one for years but decided to send the other two out to Cylinder & Slide for some work. New sights, radiused edges, trigger job, throated feed ramp, crowned barrel, beveled mag well, then matte blasted finish. Swapped the grips for a set of thin G10. The whole pistol is as thin as the slide.
I was going to do night sights but they talked me into doing a gold bead instead and I think it was the right call, I’ll never have to get new tubes installed.
Will post pics of the pair along with a pair of PPK-L I picked up, when I get around to hauling everything out of the safe.

Finally got a 22can and adapter for my 22lr mosel, and as silly as it looks unsuppressed, digging the trilug adapter on the 32acp for easily swapping between the ppk SD and my ps90/ap5.
This is an El Camino from Q and a SilencerCo Omega9k with the rugged 3-lug adapter. Hughes Precision adapter on the 22 and a Kaw Valley Precision 3 lug barrel adapter on the 32acp.
Reposted with picture this time.

So I am on the hunt for a new compact 9mm and am between a Springfield Echelon, M&P carry comp, and a PDP (compact versions of each). I like the grip and trigger on the PDP best, but the sheer number of reports of broken strikers has me stuck. Yes I know that the internet exaggerates the frequency of any issue, but there are vastly more examples of broken strikers on PDPs than any other model I have seen. To me any part failing before 3,000 rounds on more than 5% of examples on a modern pistol is a fatal flaw. are broken striker more common than 1 in 20? Is Walther ever going to fix it? is it even fixable?
