School me on the Walther PDP F

[kawtech87]

I know INGO has some walther fans. I think I've finally gotten my wife convinced she should carry. But she has a hard time raking the slide on most of my handguns. Aside from my Beretta 92 but she says it's to heavy to carry. We've been researching and I think I'd like her to try a PDP F. I have zero experience with new Walthers aside from briefly owning a PPQ years ago that I just couldn't warm up to. Personally I think the PDP series are butt ugly, but if they run well and she can manipulate the controls well enough then that's what matters.

So give it to me INGO good bad and ugly on the PDP F and PDP in general.

Also any range that has one for rent would be great information as well.

Thanks guys.

Don't own one but thought she did a decent review of it.

Fondled them at NRAAM last time it was in Indy, and was very impressed.

She might feel its a big gun. She needs to make the decision what feels good to her, not you. Also check the pps m2. It is slim, single stack and light. There are actually a few compacts she would like. About the first time she drops a gun and says it's too heavy, is about the time she won't want to carry or mess with it.

I own one and it's one of my main carry pistols now. Better than a factory Glock or a FN 509 for sure. Grip sure does help make it feel smaller, but overall it's still got the weight of a 15rd 9mm compact.
