Main features and build

The PDP Full Size’s optics ready slide supports common red-dot footprints so you can equip a reflex sight without fitting work. The 4.5-inch barrel balances sight radius and concealability, improving inherent accuracy over compact alternatives. The Performance Duty trigger provides a crisp, consistent break designed for rapid follow-up shots while maintaining an intentional reset for safe, accurate fire.

Why 9mm matters for defensive carry

Chambering the platform in 9mm offers proven terminal performance with manageable recoil, higher magazine capacity, and widely available ammunition. The included 18-round magazine makes the PDP Full Size a practical option for range training and duty use where round count and controllability are priorities. The caliber selection supports versatility across defensive, training, and professional applications.

Ergonomics and handling

Walther’s grip texture and chassis geometry are engineered for repeatable hand placement and improved purchase under stress or adverse conditions. Combined with the longer sight radius of the 4.5-inch barrel and the optics-ready slide, shooters can pair precision sighting with a tactile trigger that encourages consistent trigger management.
