Since its introduction in 2021, Walther has expanded the lineup of its flagship striker-fired, 9 mm Luger “Performance Duty Pistol” (PDP) to include everything from steel-framed competition models to its F-series of handguns designed for those with smaller hands. New for 2024, the company is applying its “PRO” treatment to the PDP F-Series.
New for 2024, Walther is applying PRO upgrades to its PDP F-Series handguns.
The PDP is a modern modular, ambidextrous and optics-ready semi-automatic handgun that exemplifies Walther’s “TEQ Philosophy” that focuses on the handgun’s trigger, ergonomics and quality. Its F-Series takes the basic PDP and modifies it to have a reduced trigger reach of 2.56”, a smaller grip circumference and slide that requires 20 percent less force to rack than a standard PDP. The F-Series frame has SuperTerrain texturing on it and removable backstraps to customize its size. Optics are mounted via Walther’s plate system with their PDP 2.0 optics cut.
The PDP F-Series has a reduced grip circumference and shorter trigger reach. The slide is optics cut.
PRO enhancements applied to the pistol include a removable aluminum magazine well and extended 18-round magazines with aluminum base pads to facilitate quicker reloads. Three magazines are included with each pistol and a version with 10-round magazines is also available. The fire control unit is Walther’s flat-faced Dynamic Performance Trigger (DPT). Like the standard F-Series pistols, the F-Series PRO is available with either a 3.5” or 4” barrel.
The PDP F-Series is available in both 3.5” (pictured) and 4” barrel versions.
The Walther PDP F-Series PRO has an MSRP of $899 for either the 3.5” or 4”-barreled models. For more information, see the company’s website.
