[** Free Vortex Venom® Red Dot from Walther Ends in 2 months (Jan 1, 2027)**](https://waltherarms.com/freevortexoptic) Item # 148067 Style WLT-2851229 UPC 723364216961 Condition New Manufacturer [Walther Arms](https://www.kygunco.com/brand/walther-arms) Model PDP Hand Right Hand Finish Black Round Capacity 15 Caliber 9mm Action Semi-Auto Barrel Length 4 in Walther's timeless innovation has once more achieved a breakthrough never seen before in firearms with the PDP elite handgun. Whether you are on the job or with the family, it is your duty to stay ready for any situation that may come. Now, you can do so confidently with the groundbreaking advancements afforded by the Walther PDP. With revolutionary ergonomics, SuperTerrain Slide Serrations and a brand-new Performance Duty Trigger, this is the next evolution in world-class ingenuity for pistols. **PERFORMANCE DUTY TRIGGER** The brand-new ‘PDT' Performance Duty Trigger is Walther's new and improved trigger system which has been achieved through shortening the length of travel and increasing the tactile definition of the trigger break. The incredible result is a highly distinct, recognizable feel for repeatable accuracy that will maximize your confidence. When you are READY to take the shot, this is the trigger you want. **SUPERTERRAIN SERRATIONS** The SuperTerrain Serrations are uniquely designed protruding serrations on the slide, allowing for quicker and more responsive hands-on engagement with the pistol. Instead of the standard subterranean cuts that are cut into the surface of the slide, Walther has broken the mold with a SuperTerrain design to raise the serrations above the surface of the slide offering a new more positive feel to operating the action. When you go to make READY, you will feel the difference the instant you put your hands on it. **PERFORMANCE DUTY TEXTURE** Developed by Walther to provide a premium, yet functional grip, the Performance Duty Texture provides an aggressive surface to maintain proper grip performance. With its tetrahedron design, it is non-abrasive so there will be no irritation to the skin or clothing of the user. Walther has pushed the boundaries of testing in some of the harshest conditions to endure this pattern is READY when you are. Whether it's torrential rainfall, extreme heat, and humidity, icy cold temperatures, or thick mud, the Performance Duty Texture of the PDP will help you be READY when it's imperative you have the perfect grip. **RED DOT ERGONOMICS** The RDS Ergonomics on the Walther PDP are designed around making the switch to the popular red-dot sight system easier for the new RDS shooter and faster for the RDS veterans. The RDS Ergonomics have been engineered to allow shooters to locate the red-dot instantly when presenting, achieved by engineered pinky pressure and offhand support. The PDP grip angle is designed for a natural aiming position which complimented and coupled with the innovative RDS Ergonomics, allow lightening fast acquisition of the red-dot. When you are READY to make the switch to using an RDS the PDP is engineered to get you there faster and easier. **RED DOT READY** All PDP models come optics READY. If you plan on putting an optic on your pistol then you are READY to go, if you want to keep that factory look then you are covered with the included cover plate. - Slide Material: Steel - Frame Material: Polymer - Slide Length: 7″ - Width: 1.34″ - Height: 5.4″ - Sight Radius: 6.4″ - Trigger Reach: 2.76″ - Grip Circumference: 5.8″ (Med Backstrap) - Weight Without Magazine: 21.4 Oz - Weight With Empty Magazine: 24.4 Oz - Mags Included: 2 - Trigger: PDT - Safeties: 3 – Auto - Trigger Pull: 5.6 lbs - Trigger Travel: 0.28″ ** WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Very comfortable to shoot. The best one I have purchased in a long time . Very happy with purchase 9 months ago ** ** ** ** ** ** Gary Blythewood, SC What an amazing firearm! Crisp trigger, solid firearm. Walther is the best. As always, kygunco has great service. 7/4/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Kevin Charleston, SC I’m very glad I made this purchase. The Walther PDP is an amazing firearm. I highly recommend. 5/10/2023 ** ** ** ** ** ** Verified Customer The PDP definitely has that hype beast marketing going for it... But I'm happy to report the hype is real. It is snappy, which is why I would not recommend it was a brand new shooter. For someone with a well practiced support-hand-heavy grip and good fundamentals, the snap brings the muzzle right back to zero very quickly. This thing has the improved ergos, accuracy, trigger, and solid optic plate system that my Gucci Glock had without having to pump hundreds of dollars of aftermarket into it. My V2 RMR footprint plate came in from Walther 7 days after I submitted the form. KY Gun Co was a pleasure to work with. I contacted them concerned about the V1 vs V2 optic cut that these have and they made every personal effort possible to identify which cut I would be receiving ahead of time. Ultimately, their distributor wasn't able to verify it, but KYG service reps were still very helpful and sincere. 1/20/2023 ** ** ** ** ** ** Christopher Philadelphia, PA Love the way my lather looks and feel. Not to fun of the sights, gun tend to shoot high. I’m a left handed shooter and it was a pain in the ass to switch the mag release but I got it done. 1/5/2023 ** ** ** ** ** ** Michael Athens, AL After reading about it for what seems like a lifetime, I finally purchased my Walther PDP compact!! What a sweet firearm! Of course, the best part was buying it through KYGUNCO.com!!! The price was outstanding, the process super easy and everything went smooth as glass. I know my next purchase will be through them...no doubt. The only regret for me is that I don't live in Kentucky to take advantage of buying there in person. Thankfully, the web is probably just as painless. Keep up the great work y'all!!! 4/23/2022 ** ** ** ** ** ** Manuel Tucson, AZ From the first sight of this pistol to the first grip in my hand to the first shots down range this is by far the best first impressions I've ever had with any pistol. I just recently finally put an optic on it and now I will have to work through the optic learning curve. But overall this is a great pistol. 4/7/2022 ** ** ** ** ** ** Allan Margate, FL Love my walther pdp great product And more important KYGUNCO is My go to on all my A2 needs Excellent company 11/24/2021 ** ** ** ** ** ** Brian Shawnee, KS The whole experience was excellent. I called and spoke with customer service because I was a little hesitant ordering a pistol online and CS was great. The ordering , shipment and especially the price was fantastic. The PDP is an excellent pistol and my only complaint with it would be the sights. Some people may love them but I prefer a blacked out rear and something that jumps out more for the front. Ameriglo makes sights for it and thats what I ordered to replace factory. The pistol is excellent and functions accurately and flawless. 10/13/2021 ** ** ** ** ** ## Don't Forget Your Ammo ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@id":"https://www.kygunco.com/#website","@type":"WebSite","description":"Shop KYGUNCO for firearms, ammo, accessories, parts, and outdoor gear at low prices with fast, easy nationwide shipping.","name":"KYGUNCO","url":"https://www.kygunco.com/","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.kygunco.com/#/schema/organization/kygunco"}},{"@id":"https://www.kygunco.com/product/walther-2851229-pdp-compact-9mm-optic-ready-4-151#webpage","@type":"WebPage","description":"Walther Arms PDP Compact 9mm pistol with a 4\" barrel, 15rd capacity, PDT trigger, optics-ready slide, and black finish.
