Walther PDP Pro-E

Walther Arms, Inc is coming out with another new pistol, the PDP Pro-E. This new model is a blend of features from the standard PDP and PDP Pro series, combining to create a firearm engineered to cater to both professional shooters and enthusiasts who seek better handling and improved accuracy.

Jens Krogh, Vice President of Marketing and Product Development at Walther Arms, Inc., expressed his excitement: “The PDP Pro-E is our response to the demand for a firearm that bridges the gap between the standard PDP and our high-performance PDP Pro SD. It's the ultimate expression of what we at Walther strive to deliver—precision, versatility, and unmatched handling, all packed into one dynamic firearm. The Pro-E elevates the shooting experience and showcases Walther’s dedication to creating cutting-edge firearms for professionals and enthusiasts alike."

The PDP Pro-E has a polymer, flat-faced trigger shoe for a consistent and crisp break with every pull, increasing accuracy and control for precision shooting. There is also an aluminum magazine well for faster reloading, and the pistol ships with polymer magazine extensions for extra ammunition capacity and smoother magazine changes. There is also Walther’s Performance Duty Texture on the frame for a better grip in harsh weather or under challenging conditions, and the slide is optics ready. The PDP Pro-E is available with compact or full-size grip options.
