Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Walther PDP Pro X Comp?

The Walther PDP Pro X Comp features a full-size frame, a dynamic performance flat-face trigger, a magwell weld, and a factory-integrated Parker Mountain Machine flush comp. It also includes three 20-round magazines and is optic-ready.

How accurate is the Walther PDP Pro X Comp?

The Walther PDP Pro X Comp has demonstrated impressive accuracy, with successful shots taken at 160 yards and testing extended to 200 yards, provided the shooter is capable.

What ammunition should be avoided with the Walther PDP Pro X Comp's compensator?

Ammunition like Blazer Brass should be avoided with compensated pistols. The projectile jacketing can strip off, potentially causing spall on the shooter's face due to the way the gases interact with the projectile.

What is the out-of-battery dead trigger issue on some Walther PDP models?

On some older PDP models, if the pistol was out of battery and the trigger was pulled, it could result in a dead trigger when the slide returned to battery. While newer models have internal safeties to prevent out-of-battery discharge, the striker can still be released, requiring an eighth of an inch more slide travel to reset.
