Walther PDP is a pistol with character
A sizable innovation in the Walther PDP pistol is a port that allows direct installation of a collimator on the breech, enabling faster aiming. The pistol is adapted as standard to the most significant trend in recent years in the modification of weapons. The breech has also been equipped with SuperTerrain ribbing characterized by a thick, aggressive form that allows for effective reloading regardless of environmental conditions. The structure has been placed on both the rear and front of the breech, allowing the loading check to be conveniently performed.
Mechanism of operation of the PDP pistol
The PDP is a classic weapon for 9x19 mm centerfire ammunition . Due to its high energy, a solid lock and an operating principle based on short barrel recoil with its locking by vertical recoil (a typical Browning system) were used here. A shell ejection window serves as the locking resistance. A strong return spring further reduces the sensation of recoil acting on the shooter. A flail-type striking mechanism .
Sturdy frame and comfortable grip
The Walther PDP has a rigid metal skeleton, which significantly reduces toss, ensures smooth shooting and guarantees excellent focus when shooting fast. The full textured skeleton guarantees a firm grip even in a wet or dirty hand. The layout of the manipulators is extremely ergonomic, and the long breech drop lever allows for convenient one-handed operation should the need arise. The magazine release button can be flipped to the other side to accommodate left-handed users.
Safety features and manipulators
The gun has no external manual safeties. The primary one is an automatic trigger safety, integrated into the tongue. It prevents accidental firing in a situation when the gun is dropped. The second is an internal firing pin lock. The magazine release button is integrated into the base of the bail. Just above it is located a lever dropping the lock from its rear position after the last shot.
The barrel used in the pistol
A 4.5" long forged barrel made of stainless steel was used here.
Magazine and comfortable grip
The gun has a metal magazine for 18 cartridges + 1 in the chamber. The grip has an ergonomic angle and is covered with an anti-slip texture. The kit comes with 3 magazines.
