I ordered this pistol to have a duty sized pistol to edc. When I got the pistol, I did as many others do and watched all of the Youtube videos you can to learn what you can about your purchase. I saw reviewers saying this pistol was snappy and needed a comp or springs to be manageable and really, I think if you believe that, perhaps try going to the gym? This pistol has a typical 9mm pistol recoil impulse. The double undercut trigger guard as well as the texturing on the frame's grip as well as the interchangeable backstraps help you gain good purchase on the weapon, which makes it controllable. The trigger on this pistol is the absolute nicest pistol trigger I have had the privilege of using with a pistol. The sights are adjustable but leave a little bit to be desired. Theyre functional and will get the job done but im not sure whether these sights work like Glock sights which require a combat hold as opposed to a bissecting hold on target. When I shot the first 5 rounds, they all stacked neatly in a 2.5 inch circle at 15 yards. I put the other 45 rounds in the box into a group the size of the palm of my hand with my fingers opened. I later on tried a bit more rapid shooting and I used some Winchester duty grade high pressure ammo to see how snappy it was allegedly and was able to keep my shots inside of the original 50 round group while working on controlled pairs. The magazines are made by Mecgar and are extremely high quality and they have an aluminum base plate on them. I like this for 2 reasons, you can pinch them if you needed to strip that magazine due to a malfunction if it didnt fall freely after hitting the release, and the second reason is because the extra weight from the base plate helps them fall free and clear easier during emergency reloads. The slide serrations are nice and large and easy to gain purchase on for slide manipulation. My only nitpick is how hot this pistol runs. I put 2 magazines back to back through it and the pistol's slide when I went to overhand it for a 3rd magazine was hotter to the touch than ive seen on other handguns. I dont know if it has to do with the slide maybe being thinner up front or something like that, but it was noticeably hotter than other pistols like my Glock 49. All in all, thats an entirely small gripe and its not like I didnt just put close to 40 rounds of ammo through it in the span of a minute and a half or so with higher pressured ammo. I cannot sell this pistol to you enough. Buy it and basically youre set. I plan on slapping an optic on it sooner or later but for now, it far exceeds the standard I have set for a handgun.

Got this particular model after pouring over the options from walther. I think bang for buck with the features it has this is one of the most loaded and ergonomic guns in its price point (which buds had the best price on out of 4 other big online retailers). I've had some slight issues fedding since I swapped out the plastic factory guide rod and added the PMM comp when using target ammo but somewhat expected since they aren't "full power". Handles well, felt recoil almost non extant now with the comp and brass rod especially

This is now my new favorite firearm. The trigger out of the box is superb. It handles well and feels great in your hand. I am very accurate with this firearm. I love the mag well and how easy it is to drop and reload quickly. I love the capacity of 18 rounds. This is my first Walther but not last. It is the absolute easiest gun to take down to clean, and reassemble. I may have to get another in a different color scheme. You will not be disappointed.

Best striker fired gun on the market. Excellent trigger with a smooth break and extremely short reset. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this.

This is a perfect sized pistol, compact enough to carry, yet comes with everything that you may want if trying to enter a competition. So far, through all polymer style pistols, this model (and the 5.1” model) have the best trigger out of the box. I would argue that this model has a better trigger than the Walther Q5 Match SF, I had one and sold it, was pleasantly surprised with these PRO models and purchased both sizes. Also, just for the record, BUD’s has the best price on both models.

My favorite pistol so far!! The iron sights are a minus but overall the pistol is awesome! . Can’t wait until I buy a red dot or improve the iron sights

Very nice gun to own , the recoil I feel is less than my sig sauer p320. Trigger is very responsive.

Really just a great feeling pistol all around. Trigger, grips, 3x 18 round mags, and general ergonomics are all great. The main reason I wanted to make a review was to let anyone that orders after me (December 18th 2023) know that I RECEIVED THE 2.0 OPTICS CUT SLIDE (In the Q & A section it says it is the 1.0 version). Doesn't make any difference to me other than the fact I have to return the optics plate I ordered from CHPWS and get the new one ordered so it delayed me being able to install use my 507C X2 red dot. Loving my PDP and I can't wait to get more rounds down range.

Great addition to the collection! I was not a stranger to Walther Arms before purchasing this pistol, and I am still just as impressed. Great ergonomics, quality materials and awesome craftsmanship. Huge plus with the threaded barrel and optics ready slide, can’t wait to drop on some attachments.

I had always heard good things about Bud's Gun shop and my first experience with them was great! The firearm was at my FFL within a couple days and it arrived in perfect condition. I had wanted a Walther PDP Pro SD Compact since the day I held one and it did not disappoint. Very accurate, fits my hand perfect and probably the best trigger of any handgun I've seen minus 2011's. This experience was great for me but will not be great for my wallet soon. A++ for Buds and A+ for the firearm.

I received my new pistol at my FFL, I was amazed at how light its was when I picked it up. I got a fantastic deal on it from Buds. This pistol to me is a work of art. My friend thinks it’s a John wick gun, In Truth it just looks nasty! I have yet to get it to the range for a test run but I will very soon!

Excellent pistol! Awesome feel in the hand, points naturally and is very easy to aim and fire. The magwell gives it great ergonomics and the extra backstraps make it easy to customize to your taste. Very easy transaction through Buds and quick shipping. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

Amazing gun! The trigger is awesome and it feels absolutely awesome in the hand. I was very very happy with it out of the box! Definitely worth it.

To start the trigger on this gun is beautiful. Breaks crisp right at 3.5 pounds. Have about 200 rounds of all types of ammo down range without a single failure of any kind. Threw a hcpdp comp and sprinco recoil reduction spring on it and this gun shoots flat as my cz shadow. This is my new edc and plan to put a holosun scs on it soon. Buds is always a pleasure to purchase from and the walther is a tack driver.

It quickly become my favorite handgun I can't recommend it enough! Excellent shipping from buds like always 👍🏻.

This PDP Pro compact was the best purchase ever I love this handgun have no complaints about it and will never get rid of it

Best out the box gun for the money. I’m a Glock guy, and like this over my glocks or MR 920’s. Trigger is amazing!

Super contento con el servicio de budguns y con la walther pdp pro que lleno todas mis expectativas y más
