Overview

The Walther PDP Full Size 5-inch is the competition-oriented member of the PDP family, pairing the best factory striker-fired trigger on the market with a 5-inch barrel for maximum velocity and sight radius. The Performance Duty Trigger breaks flat and clean at approximately 4.5 pounds with a short, tactile reset that competitive shooters praise consistently. No other striker-fired pistol matches this trigger out of the box.

The 5-inch barrel pushes 9mm velocity to near-optimal levels for the cartridge and provides the longest sight radius in the PDP lineup. Walther's optic plate system supports Trijicon RMR, Holosun 507C, Aimpoint ACRO, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, and other common footprints through plate selection.

The polymer frame keeps weight at a manageable 28.5 ounces while the SuperTerrain serrations on the slide provide aggressive purchase during press checks and malfunction clearances. The full-length Picatinny rail accepts any standard pistol light. 18+1 capacity from flush-fit magazines gives an edge over 17-round competitors. For duty, home defense, or competition, the PDP Full Size 5-inch is the best full-size striker-fired pistol available.
