The service pistol Walther PDP Full Size 4.5“ is characterized by its 8 mm longer grip and the 115 mm long barrel. Dimensions and weight are in a balanced ratio, with the grip circumference at trigger height measuring 148 mm. In this set, the Acro C-2 red dot sight with a dot size of 3.5 MOA is mounted directly on the PDP Full Size 4.5“ without any additional adapter plate.
The Haptics
When it comes to handling the Walther PDP Full Size 4.5“, two factory-developed technologies from Walther are worth mentioning: SuperTerrain Serrations refers to the raised grip grooves at the front and rear of the slide. Even in wet weather, fingers do not slip while reloading. Performance Duty Texture refers to the surface of the grip, which, with its tetrahedral structure, does not irritate the skin even during prolonged firm gripping and allows the hand to become one with the pistol. The arrangement of the elements allows for intuitive operation of the pistol, enabling complete concentration on the target. Even when used with gloves, the PDP Full Size 4.5“ is reliable and precise.
The Ergonomic Design
In addition to its surface, the shape of the grip has also been modified. It has been extended by 8 mm compared to the Compact version. Grip length and barrel length are thus in a balanced ratio. The end of the grip is designed to provide support for the little finger. The grip angle automatically leads to optimal trigger behavior. This is accompanied by the optimization of position, travel, and pressure point of the trigger, a Performance Duty Trigger. The trigger is intuitive and controlled, reachable with the finger in 70 mm. The pressure point is at 25 N, and the crystal-clear break increases accuracy.
The Magazine
The capacity of the magazine has been increased by 3 rounds to 18 in the PDP Full Size 4.5“. The staggered cartridge chamber allows for reliable feeding of the cartridge, which provides the PDP with more muzzle energy and reduces residue in the pistol. A loaded chamber indicator signals whether the pistol is loaded. The PDP features trigger, firing pin, and safety (interrupter) safeties.
The Acro C-2 from Aimpoint
This robust red dot sight is built to withstand the extreme demands of use on a semi-automatic pistol. Its design optimally protects the fully enclosed sight from all environmental influences. The red dot, with a size of 3.5 MOA, is adjustable in 10 levels, two of which are compatible with night vision devices. 5 years of continuous use at a daylight setting of 6/10 is absolutely no problem with the CR2032 battery. Its replacement can be done without disassembling the sight.
