The Walther PDP Pro X is a 9mm striker-fired pistol featuring an integrated compensator, dynamic performance trigger, and ambidextrous controls. Initial range testing revealed ammo sensitivity with the compensator, requiring a switch from Blazer Brass to Fiocchi 115-grain for reliable function over 200 rounds. Despite this, the PDP Pro X demonstrated excellent accuracy at extended distances (up to 150 yards) and offers significantly improved recoil control for faster follow-up shots, though it necessitates more frequent cleaning.
