  4. Walther Adds PDP Pro Model with Factory Installed ACRO P2 to Commercial Catalog

Walther this week added the previously "LE Only" PDP Professional model, complete with a direct mounted Aimpoint ACRO P2 red dot, to its standard catalog. 

The PDP Pro is a 4.5-inch full-sized pistol that has a lot of practical/tactical upgrades besides the factory-installed optic, including Walther's superb Dynamic Performance Trigger (DPT), tritium three-dot night sights, and a removable aluminum magwell. The offering is similar to the package that won a competitive tender earlier this year to equip the 4,700-member Pennsylvania State Police.

Now commercially available, it has a 4.5-inch barrel, which gives it an overall length of 8 inches.

Weight is 27.5 ounces, unloaded. The flush-fit double-stack mag holds 18 rounds of 9mm, giving the pistol an 18+1 capacity. A big appeal when it comes to direct-mounted micro red dots is that there is no adapter plate to fail while keeping the optic's "floor" as low as possible, allowing more sights to co-witness. 

 

Price? The new (to the commercial market) PDP PRO ACRO has an MSRP of $1,599. 

Speaking to comparatives inside Walther's catalog for a frame of reference, the standard PDP Full Size 4.5 has an ask of just $649, but of course doesn't come with the ACRO P2 (which Aimpoint lists with an MSRP of $599) included on the direct-milled slide, nor the DPT trigger (which runs $179), removable magwell, or upgraded iron sights.

However, that same standard PDP does ship with a very decent Performance Duty Trigger (PDT) and uses Walther's Next Generation Optic Mounting Plate design system, so it’s not like you are getting a ham sandwich or anything by going with the base model. Think of the PDP ACRO Pro as, well, a more fully loaded package.
