If James Bond were going to combat rather than happy hour I’d bet he’d ditch his PPK for Walther’s new PDP, or Performance Duty Pistol. That’s because it’s a big, 18-round striker-fired fighting pistol that’s the next best thing if you can’t get to a rifle.
The PDP is a series of full-sized and compact striker-fired handguns with the fit and features to make them some of the most shootable in their class. When I say shootable, I refer to a combination of the gun’s size, weight, grip, grip-to-bore-axis, trigger, sights and build quality—all the features that help make a handgun inherently accurate on the first shot, while mitigating its recoil to facilitate fast and accurate follow-ups.
This gun is a pleasure to shoot. In firing 500 rounds, I experienced zero malfunctions. Its barrel is accurate, its trigger is superb and its grip is one of the most comfortable in the business. The PDP’s only downside lives in my own eye: to me, its profile could’ve been slightly less blocky and more carry friendly. But as a duty or outside-the-waistband carry gun, 18+1 rounds of 9 mm delivered swiftly and accurately is exactly what Walther set out to do, and they certainly did that.
