The Walther PDP Compact V2 with new optics mounting platform.

The pistol impresses with its striking appearance. Deep loading grooves can be found both at the front and rear of the slide. This means that the charging process remains a safe affair in any weather. The completely redesigned handle has a pyramid-shaped texture (Performance Duty Texture) and contributes to the outstanding handling. The backstraps, available in different sizes (S, M, L), also have this texture. Not too sharp to hurt or "tear" clothing during high series, but aggressive enough to achieve perfect grip at all times. The curved shape at the end of the handle gives the little finger support and supports intuitive interpretation.

All models in the PDP series have a slide catch lever on both sides, a reversible magazine button and come Optics Ready with a milled slide top for various - optionally available - adapter plates for red dot sights of the Marken Docter, Noblex, Meopta, Trijicon, Holosun, Riton, Axion, Leupold, SIG Sauer, Vortex or Burris Fast Fire series.

The new optics mounting platform is characterized by the modified cut-out for the mounting plate. This is 2 mm longer than before and thus allows the installation of all currently common red dot sights. The new features also include recoil lugs and larger screw cutouts. This makes it possible to use the original mounting screws from the optics manufacturer for installation.

If you want to aim in the “classic” way using the rear sight and front sight, you can do so using GLOCK-compatible sights. Co-witness screening is possible. The standard sights are inherently adjustable in elevation and windage. Additional practical accessories can be attached to the Picatinny rail.

The trigger breaks like glass at the pressure point with a trigger weight of 22 N. The short reset allows consistent top performance from shot to shot. Both together create the prerequisites for controlled hitting and safe trigger control in every situation and from shot to shot.

The result of the perfected grip angle and the interaction of total weight, weight distribution and balance is the excellent interpreting behavior. The weapon intuitively follows the line of sight of the target eye.

The stepped cartridge chamber ensures significantly better lidding and therefore less contamination of the polygonal barrel.
