New from Walther Arms is the PDP Pro-E, which is described by the company as a “hybrid” model intended to occupy the space between the standard PDP and PDP Pro handguns. Chambered in 9 mm Luger, the PDP Pro-E is available in full-size with a 4½-inch barrel and 20-round capacity, along with a compact four-inch barrel version with 18-round capacity.
A well-rounded firearm, the PDP Pro-E is designed to provide solid handling, accuracy and control, along with ample magazine capacity.
An optics-ready handgun, the PDP Pro-E is built to accommodate red dots, holographic sights or other optics. The PDP Pro-E also features a performance duty texture for a secure and comfortable grip.
As for the trigger, the PDP Pro-E is equipped with a flat-faced trigger sporting a polymer trigger-shoe.
Conveniently positioned for thumb operation, the magazine release is reversible for right- or left-hand operation.
The aluminum magwell will help with smooth magazine changes, while the polymer magazine extensions give the PDP Pro-E a 20-round capacity (18-round capacity for the compact model).
SuperTerrain Serrations on the slide allow for quicker and more responsive hands-on engagement with the pistol.
The PDP Pro-E also has a black nitride finish.
“With the PDP Pro-E, we’ve successfully bridged the gap in performance between our standard PDP and the high-performance PDP Pro SD. It’s a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation and providing the ultimate shooting experience,” Jens Krogh, vice president of marketing and product development for Walther Arms, Inc., said. “This firearm represents a new era of precision, customization, and performance that brings enthusiasts and professionals closer to the pinnacle of handgun technology. At Walther, we’re dedicated to closing the performance divide, and the Pro-E is a shining example of this mission.”
