Introduction

The Walther PDP F 3.5" Pistol is a semi-automatic firearm designed with unique features to provide superior performance. It is chambered in 9mm Parabellum and holds 10 rounds per magazine. Walther has long been known for their attention to detail in their firearms, and the PDP is no exception. The pistol features an adjustable trigger, user-interchangeable grip sizes, ambidextrous magazine releases, and several other features that make the PDP highly desirable. In this review, I will discuss my opinion of the Walther PDP F 3.5” Pistol, including its ergonomics, accuracy, trigger, and firing system.

Ergonomics

The ergonomics of the Walther PDP F 3.5” Pistol is something that I find quite impressive. The PDP features interchangeable grip sizes, allowing the user to customize the pistol’s grip to fit their hand comfortably. The grip itself is made of polymer and is textured for increased control. The slide is also constructed with an ergonomic design, which allows for quick and easy access to the slide lock for reloading or clearing malfunctions. Additionally, the slide features serrations on the front and back for increased traction when racking the slide. The ambidextrous magazine release is also within easy reach and allows for quick reloads with either hand.

Accuracy

The accuracy of the Walther PDP F 3.5” Pistol is impressive for a handgun of its size. The long 3.5” barrel provides a longer sight radius, allowing for more accuracy when shooting. Additionally, the adjustable trigger offers a smooth and light trigger pull that is ideal for accurate shooting over longer distances. Finally, the PDP’s frame is constructed with a steel reinforced polymer that helps reduce felt recoil and improve accuracy.

Trigger

The trigger pull of the Walther PDP F 3.5” Pistol is one of its strongest features. The adjustable trigger allows the shooter to customize the pull to their preferences. The trigger is also equipped with a safety lock feature that prevents accidental discharge when not intended. The trigger is smooth and light, allowing for accurate and consistent shots.

Firing System

The Walther PDP F 3.5” Pistol is a semi-automatic handgun that is capable of firing in both single and double action. When in single action, the trigger pull is light and smooth, allowing for accurate and consistent shots. The double action trigger pull is somewhat heavier, which is ideal for home defense scenarios. The Walther PDP also features a hammer-fired firing system, which has been proven to be reliable and consistent.

Conclusion

All in all, the Walther PDP F 3.5" Pistol is a great choice for concealed carry and home defense. It is reliable, accurate, and comfortable to shoot. Its adjustable trigger and ergonomic design make it easy to use, and its firing system provides reliable and consistent performance. The Walther PDP F 3.5” Pistol is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable and accurate self-defense handgun.
