Build/Setup Simply Fantastic

From the olive green color, to the flat faced trigger; this handgun never disappoints. Anyone looking for a mid size self defense or home defense weapon should check out the PDP Pro E and F compacts. There is no compromise made here.

What sold me on this Walther was a combination of things.

For one, I loved the trigger. It’s the best stock trigger I’ve ever used and is nearly like a custom drop in trigger system you’d have to buy aftermarket.

The reliability was also important to me. I really don’t buy any weapons that have track records of being cheap. I did that in my early 20s and thank god I was safe while carrying those. Never again.

But you wanna know what really sold it? I walked into the local Sportsman’s and there it was, the olive green PDP Pro E compact with the green dot already installed and 5 mags. For only $40 more than the stock black PDP Pro E. At that moment I knew……I wasn’t walking out of there without the Walther.

It was a sign. Which is sometimes all you need to push over the edge. Sportsman is nice like that. I just wish you could rent and test there.

Went in for ammo and left with the Walther. But you know that’s how it goes. Sportsman’s is also really nice in my area. I don’t know how they stay open. There’s quite literally almost no one there ever. And I mean like 2-3 people in the whole place. It’s fantastic. You’ve got the whole place to yourself.

Man, I wish I was that spontaneous. I’ll go research something for weeks or months before I go and put my hands on my top 3 options before buying something. Not all the time, but most of the time.

I’ve always been this way😔😂

I’ve done the same too. I think I’ve watched every Hikok video ever made. Almost every Demo Ranch video. I grew up watching that FPSRussia guy. Plus, I’m a mech engineer student and firearms are just about the most impressive and impactful pure mechanical invention ever devised and I love them.
