Walther PDP Full Size OR – 5″ – 9mm Luger POLYMER MATCH
Optics Ready | Polymer Match Trigger | 18+1 Rounds | PDP 5″ POLYMER MATCH
Overview – Precision Meets Performance
The Walther PDP Full Size OR (Optics Ready) with 5″ barrel and POLYMER MATCH trigger is the ultimate evolution of Walther’s Performance Duty Pistol line.
Therefore, whether you need a handgun for precision sport shooting, IPSC competition, a personal defense weapon for home protection, or a reliable duty pistol, this Walther delivers exceptional accuracy and trigger performance.
As a result of the longer 5″ barrel and the POLYMER MATCH trigger system, this model offers improved sight radius, higher velocity, and a trigger pull that rivals custom competition guns – straight from the factory.
Consequently, when you pistolen kaufen this Walther from our shop for weapons, you receive a handgun that is ready for competitive shooting, target work, or duty use – without any aftermarket modifications.
Key Features – Factory Optimized for Precision
5″ Barrel – Longer Sight Radius & Higher Velocity
The 5-inch barrel is the defining feature of this PDP Full Size OR POLYMER MATCH.
First, the longer barrel provides a longer sight radius (approximately 192mm from front to rear sight). Therefore, aiming precision is significantly improved – especially at longer distances.
Second, the 5″ barrel generates higher muzzle velocity compared to 4″ or 4.5″ barrels. Consequently, your ammunition shoots flatter and retains more energy downrange.
Third, the barrel features Walther’s proprietary stepped chamber and polygon rifling. As a result, it extracts more energy from each cartridge, reduces fouling, and provides a better gas seal than traditional rifling.
Fourth, the barrel is treated with Tenifer – a chemical-thermal process that hardens the steel and provides exceptional corrosion resistance and durability.
Fact: The 5″ barrel makes this PDP ideal for IPSC competition and precision target shooting. The longer sight radius reduces aiming error, making hits easier at 25 meters and beyond.
POLYMER MATCH Trigger – Factory Competition Trigger
The POLYMER MATCH trigger is a significant upgrade over standard striker-fired triggers.
First, it offers a smoother take-up with minimal creep. Therefore, you can stage the trigger precisely for accurate shots.
Second, the break is crisp and clean – approximately 2,200–2,500g (22–25N). Consequently, it rivals many aftermarket competition triggers.
Third, the reset is short and positive. The tactile and audible click makes fast follow-up shots easy and consistent.
Fourth, the trigger features a flat face design. This provides a more consistent finger placement and improved leverage compared to curved triggers.
Finally, the POLYMER MATCH trigger is factory-installed. As a result, you get a competition-ready trigger without voiding your warranty or spending extra on gunsmithing.
Fact: The POLYMER MATCH trigger is designed specifically for the longer slide PDP models. It is optimized for precision shooting where trigger control is paramount.
Optics Ready (OR) – Co-Witness Capable
The Walther PDP is built for red dot sights – and the Full Size OR model is no exception.
First, the slide features a low-profile optics mounting platform. Therefore, red dots integrate almost seamlessly without affecting the natural pointing characteristics.
Second, the system is co-witness ready. Consequently, you can use standard height sights alongside your red dot. The dot appears quickly and unconsciously when presenting the pistol.
Third, the mounting plate length is 47mm, compatible with most major red dot footprints including Trijicon RMR, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, Holosun 507C/508T, Aimpoint Acro, and others.
Fourth, the deep mounting platform keeps the optic low. As a result, the excellent “pointability” of the PDP is fully preserved – even with a mounted red dot.
Fact: Walther includes multiple optics plates (RMR, DPP, Acro, etc.) or you can purchase the specific plate for your red dot. The slide is pre-cut from the factory – no milling required.
Performance Duty Texture – Ergonomic Grip
The grip frame features the Performance Duty Texture – a tetrahedron (pyramid-like) structure.
First, it provides outstanding grip under all circumstances – with gloves or without, wet or dry.
Second, it is non-abrasive. Therefore, it provides no irritation to the skin or clothing during extended carry or practice.
Third, the texture was developed through extensive testing in harsh conditions – in the field, in varied weather, and on the shooting range.
Finally, the grip includes a small flare at the bottom. Consequently, your pinky finger gets extra leverage, improving control and pointability.
Fact: The grip angle is optimized for intuitive pointing. The PDP follows the eye’s central vision, making target acquisition fast and natural – even with the longer 5″ slide.
SuperTerrain Serrations – Superior Slide Manipulation
The slide features Walther’s unique protruding front and rear serrations.
First, they are more aggressive than traditional serrations. Therefore, you get a quicker and more responsive grip on the slide in every situation.
Second, they work in all conditions – with gloves or without, wet or dry, mud or snow.
Third, they promote manipulation with or without a slide-mounted optic.
Consequently, press checks, unloading, and malfunction clearances are fast and positive – even with the longer 5″ slide.
High Capacity – 18+1 Rounds
The PDP Full Size model offers impressive capacity.
First, it comes with two 18-round steel magazines. Therefore, you have 18+1 rounds of 9mm ammunition on tap.
Second, the magazines feature high-visibility followers and numbered witness holes. Consequently, you can quickly check remaining ammunition.
Third, the magazine release is reversible. Therefore, left-handed shooters can operate it easily.
Finally, the full-size grip accommodates all 18 rounds without protruding. The magazine sits flush with the bottom of the grip.
Included: Two steel magazines (18 rounds each). Additional magazines are available separately in our shop for weapons.
Modularity – Adjustable Grip
The Walther PDP is one of the most modular pistols ever designed.
First, it includes interchangeable backstraps in sizes S, M, and L. Therefore, you can adjust the grip to fit your hand perfectly.
Second, the magazine release is reversible. Consequently, left-handed shooters can operate it easily.
Third, the slide stop lever is ambidextrous – standard on all PDP models.
Finally, the grip size (Full Size) offers a longer frame than the Compact version. As a result, it accommodates larger hands and provides the full 18-round capacity.
Included: Three backstraps (S, M, L) in the box.
Stepped Chamber – Reliability & Performance
Walther’s innovative stepped chamber design sets the PDP apart from competitors.
First, the chamber has a stepped profile that fully supports the cartridge case. Therefore, it extracts more muzzle energy from the ammunition.
Second, the design reduces fouling in the gun. Consequently, the PDP shoots better for longer periods between cleanings.
Third, the polygon barrel provides a better gas seal than traditional rifling. As a result, velocity is higher and accuracy is improved.
Fact: The stepped chamber and polygon rifling work together to make the PDP one of the most accurate production pistols on the market.
Picatinny Rail – For Lights & Lasers
The frame includes a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny accessory rail.
Therefore, you can easily mount:
-
Weapon lights for home defense
-
Laser aiming modules for low-light shooting
-
Other tactical accessories
The rail has multiple cross-slots, making it compatible with most holsters and accessories.

Who Is This Pistol For?
For Competition Shooters (IPSC, BDMP, USPSA)
The 5″ barrel, long sight radius, and POLYMER MATCH trigger make this handgun competition-ready. The 18+1 capacity meets IPSC Production division requirements. The optics-ready slide allows you to add a red dot for Carry Optics division.
For Precision Target Shooters
If you value accuracy above all else, the 5″ PDP delivers. The longer barrel reduces shot dispersion. The match trigger allows precise trigger control. The adjustable sights let you dial in your zero.
For Home Defense / Personal Defense
With 18+1 rounds of 9mm ammunition, a Picatinny rail for lights, and three automatic safeties, the PDP is a capable and safe personal defense weapon. The 5″ barrel also provides slightly higher velocity for defensive loads.
For Hunters as Backup
While a revolvert is traditional for hunting backup, the PDP 5″ offers higher capacity, faster reloads, and superior accuracy. Carry it alongside your bolt action rifle – Remington 700 or high powered bolt action rifle – for peace of mind in the field.
For Duty / Law Enforcement
The PDP was designed as a Performance Duty Pistol. The 5″ model offers a longer sight radius for precision shots, making it suitable for specialized duty roles where accuracy is critical.
Safety Features – Three Automatic Safeties
The Walther PDP includes multiple safety features.
First, a loaded chamber indicator on the extractor allows you to see and feel if a round is chambered.
Second, the trigger safety prevents the trigger from moving rearward unless deliberately pressed.
Third, the striker safety blocks the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled.
Fourth, the disconnect safety prevents the pistol from firing when out of battery.
Consequently, the PDP is drop-safe and secure for carry or duty use – without requiring a manual safety lever.
Ammunition Recommendations
The PDP 5″ POLYMER MATCH performs well with a wide variety of ammunition.
For practice: 9×19 FMJ (full metal jacket) from brands like S&B, Geco, Magtech, or Fiocchi. The 5″ barrel provides reliable cycling with standard pressure loads.
For competition: 124gr or 147gr FMJ with moderate power factor. The longer barrel helps achieve required velocity without excessive recoil.
For defense: Premium hollow points such as Speer Gold Dot, Hornady Critical Duty, or Federal HST. The 5″ barrel delivers full expansion and penetration.
For hunting backup: Heavy-for-caliber 147gr +P or 124gr +P bonded ammunition.
Fact: The stepped chamber of the PDP is designed to work with all SAAMI-spec 9mm ammunition. Avoid reloads or non-standard ammunition.
