rules:

Hey all. I hope this question doesn't come across as lazy, but I'm fairly new to shooting (regularly), and have only owned one striker-fired pistol thus far.

I want to throw a 4 inch upper with a PMM comp onto a 5 inch compact frame for a flush-fitting build, but am hoping to minimize cost/financial risk in doing so. My first plan was to buy a 5 inch compact outright, and a full 4 inch upper as well. Sell the 5 inch upper to get my cash back and proceed with the build.

That said, I've recently found a means of getting my hands on a 4 inch stripped slide for significantly cheaper, but I want to verify that all the internals from the 5 inch upper will fit in the 4 inch. The barrel is irrelevant because I'll have to buy a threaded barrel anyways, and the guide rod/spring will be replaced with aftermarket as well.

Anybody know which components are directly interchangeable? Or better yet, which ones aren't? I probably sound ignorant but I'm trying to get into the building part of things but would like to be as financially responsible as possible haha.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Which one would you get? SRO, 507C ACSS Vulcan, 507 Comp.

Anything else I'm overlooking?

Does anyone know any companies that do laser cuts on slides? I want my 4” slide to have cuts like the larger steel frame models.

I'm looking for a red dot for my walther pdp, so I don't have to buy a plate, can you recommend anything?

Does anyone know where I can get springs for the 18 rounders, or whole magazines for less than 60 dollars a piece? Any help is much appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I am collecting my handgun tomorrow. This is my first firearm, so I could use your advise on what upgrades you recommend. I have seen most reviews recommend upgrading the included guide rod to ZRTS's. I will not install a red dot on it, so do you recommend upgrading the sights? If so, please give me your suggestions. Also what holsters do you recommend? Also feel free to recommend other things that I need or may need to upgrade.

Is it fine to dry fire the gun or will it harm it on the long run?

I am a beginner in this field (owning a gun, maintaining and upgrading it) and I really would appreciate your inputs.

Thanks in advance.

I’m looking at mags for my f series and would like to know if both of these mags would work or if one was better than the other. Obviously one is 18 rounds and one is 17 rounds but will the top of both extensions fit flush against the bottom of the magwell? I saw some posts about the 18 rounders causing issues to the ejector. I imagine it’s the 18 rounders without the sleeve but wanted to be sure.

Top striker has about 12k rounds on it from a Q4 SF. Bottom striker is broken after about 25k rounds from a Q5 SF Pro.

I'm ordering the new part and not blaming the manufacturer because both guns live hard lives. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this from the PPQ series guns?

Local gun shops in my area suck! What's the street price on a PPK/S 22lr Blued not Stainless.

At what point should I be concerned that parts in my Walther PDP pro will start to become fatigued? I have 15,000 rounds through it so far. Every so often the slide will not lock back after the magazine has been emptied. At what point should I start to look at replacement parts?

I've had this thing for 2 months and went all out on pimping it out. Finally I have my endgame pistol for duty and comp. The steel frame makes it feel heavy and more premium than any other pistol I've held. Only thing I ran into that made me big sad was the free optics plate taking 2 months to ship and not so much as an email or tracking number.

I'm experiencing an issue with my PPK/S in .22LR where the trigger isn't resetting all the time after the slide cycles while firing. A live round will be in the chamber ready to go, but the trigger wasn't reset during cycling. Any ideas what could be causing this before I try sending it to Walther for possible resolution?

Admittedly, I am a new owner of a handgun. I enjoy shooting at the range, but no real desire to enter any competitions. I mainly have it in case I need to defend my home / family. I do plan on picking up a few more handguns over the next year, maybe a shotgun as well. That being said, I've never had the need or desire to carry.

For those that do carry, do you find yourselves in situations where you need it? Have you ever had to un-holster it? I simply want to make sure I'm not overlooking something by not wanting to carry.

Went to the range today and my PDP-F had multiple light primer strike failures today. I’ve ran maybe 400 rounds through it on range days before with no issues. Only difference is I cleaned and oiled it before going this time. Is it possible these light primer strikes were caused by me not cleaning it properly or using too much oil? (I was a little generous lol)

Anyone else have the same issue? Or should I talk to Walther support. Any advice is appreciated!

Time to get some practice in. How bout you!

How’s it going guys, I just bought a PDP Compact 4” because I shot one at my local range and absolutely loved it and had to have one. I EDC a G43 AIWB with an Enigma and I feel like I can definitely move up to a bigger gun, at least for fall/winter. I’m 6’1” 230 muscular build. I won’t get an enigma for the PDP because for summer time/shorts and a tee shirt carry, I’ll stick to my G43, however I did some research and heard a lot about Tenicor and Tier 1 for good holsters. I am undecided on whether I will put a light on the PDP. I was also wondering what kind of belts you guys run with your PDP. I’ve heard mixed things about the Hunter Constantine belt. Does the PDP compact fit regular PDP full sized holsters? Thanks

From 12 o’clock, clockwise: Model 4 w/ imperial German acceptance proof, Model 5, Model 7, 1936 commercial PPK, 1940 eagle/359 PPK, 1942 eagle/c PPK, 1965 Rhineland-Pfalz police PP, 1966 commercial PPK, 1970 .22lr PPK/s, L66A1, P88, PPQ M2, and PDP Steel Frame Match

Anyone know of any OWB holsters for a Walther PDP SF 4.5in with a light attached?

Hello everyone,

I have come across Walther pdp steel frame and CZ shadow 2 (not OR) and both of them around $3300. I know the price is way over the MRSP but that's the prices in my cocountry.

This will be my first handgun and maybe the only one (at least for a while). I will be using it strictly on ranges. I was initially going for the S2 but when I saw the Walther at the same price I got tempted to get it.

Which one should I get?

Thanks in advance.

Will be getting the monsoon tactical lucky 7’s package. Would love to hear about anyone’s experience with them and pictures of your setup. Please and thank you

wanted to share my experience with the porting service from Tampa gunwerx for my Walther pdp and two other handguns. On June 24 I placed an order for three of my handguns to be ported. At the time the wait time was 10 business days turn around for all purchases. Prior to sending my slides I contacted him and he explained that they were still on track for their wait times. 10 business days came and went and nothing from him. I reach out July 23 and he explains they will be out end of the week. Nothing that week. On Aug 8 I reach back out and am told that only 2 of the three guns are done. He didn't know which were done and said he would call me that night. Never did. Aug 16 I message him again he ensures me that they are being shipped out on Monday. When I reach out Monday he informed me that he is on the way and will have the tracking right to me. That is another lie. I just ask for the remaining guns that finished or not. He informed me he will refund the unfinished one and offers a free port job on the future. At this point... I didn't trust him at all so asked for a refund instead of a free make-up port job in the future. He refuses. Aug 20 I reach out again for tracking that he promised and he informed me that he apparently lost my address and to forward it to him and he would have the package out the next day. Guess what he doesn't. Package didn't make it out until Friday at 7pm after I requested tracking yet again.

TLDR: if you value your time or $ don't trust Tampa gunwerx for any work. Most unreliable and and compulsive liar I've met in the firearm industry. Repetitive lies regarding, shipping, completion, and wait times. Took 46 business days in a 10 business day quote.

Edit: I made a grammatical error from a previous post here, so I deleted it and posted this instead.

Walther Q5 Match SF

• Walther Dynamic Performance Trigger
• Walther aluminum grip
• Sprinco guide rod w/yellow 14lb spring
• Sprinco trigger spring kit
• CHPWS lowpro optics plate
• Trijicon SRO 1 MOA
• Taylor Freelance +6 extensions

If you follow the walther instagram account t they had someone on yesterday shooting a “new walther that would be released at TEQfest on September 20th”. The firearm was censored with a black box.

Any ideas what this is or am I reading too much into this?

Is this finally the fucking micro???

Found one in a LGS and it seems almost brand new, for $349.00

Is it worth adding to my Walther family collection ?
