Community Feedback on Subreddit Content and Direction

4 Upvotes

Dear r/walther Members,

As a moderator of this subreddit, I have observed a mix of content in our community, including serious discussions on Walther firearms, technical inquiries, and ownership experiences, alongside lighter elements such as memes and humorous posts. While this variety can enhance engagement, there have been instances where some contributions appear to lean toward low-effort or repetitive humor, potentially resembling shitposting or circlejerk behavior.

To ensure that r/walther continues to serve as a valuable resource for enthusiasts, I am seeking your input on the subreddit's current state and potential improvements. Your feedback will help inform any adjustments to moderation guidelines, with the goal of maintaining a balanced and respectful environment.

Please share your thoughts on the following questions:

  1. How do you primarily view the purpose of r/walther? (e.g., A space for serious discussions only, a mix of serious and humorous content, or primarily for memes and lighthearted posts?)
  2. Do you believe there is an excess of low-effort or humorous posts? If so, how does this impact your experience?
  3. Should we introduce or refine rules to address this, such as requiring flairs for memes, limiting certain types of posts, or encouraging more substantive contributions?
  4. What other suggestions do you have to improve the subreddit, including topics, events, or features you would like to see?

I encourage all members to participate in this discussion respectfully. This thread will remain open for feedback over the next week, after which I will review responses and make the necessary changes.

Thank you for your contributions to making r/walther a strong community.

Best regards

PDP Light Primer Strikes

Post image
7 Upvotes

I’m wondering if anybody else has had this issue.

I’ve really enjoyed my PDP Pro SD Compact and have put a few hundred rounds through it. I was in the process of testing HSTs until I trust it for night stand duty.

During my HST testing, I had two light primer strikes. Both were trigger pull, striker release, and then a dead trigger. Both rounds had fully loaded and appeared to be in battery.

I recocked the striker for the first round and it fired.

I ejected the second one and pic attached.

Only mod is the comp.

I’m thinking it just needs a clean and a couple hundred more for break in.

Walther PDP Pro-E 4” Compact

Upgraded from a full size PDP Polymer 5” but so far I like this one. This DPT trigger is amazing! Definitely the highlight of this gun.

A tad bit snappy compared to other guns in its class that I’ve shot but I’ll keep breaking it in before I make any modifications

What magazines do I buy for my Walther PDP Pro-E

2 Upvotes

I just bought PDP Full size 10 round magazines and they don’t seem to lock due to the factory magwell.

Can anyone suggest what 10 round magazine I can buy that fits my gun and the seller will ship to CA?

TIA

Pretty happy with how this thing has come together. Running a Trijicon SRO, Rugged Obsidian9, SureFire X300, ZR Tactical captured guide rod, and an 18+4 mag extension. What do y’all think?

PDP 5” cross over Safariland selection

2 Upvotes

I have a 5” PDP with a Holosun 509T and a TLR-1. i just want level 1 retention (cheap level 2 or 3 is just as good for me) as this will be a “mowing round the farm” carry rig. maybe use it while hog hunting.

What cheap and easily available Safariland holster would I use? P320 6390RDSO? 6354RDS?

I don’t want to spend the $$ on RDR or buying new from Safariland at this time.

thanks

Change barrel on a P22

2 Upvotes

I got the wife a .22 P22 years ago. She loves it and fires it a lot. A heck of a lot. I would like to change the barrel to a threaded barrel and get a can for her pistol. Is the fixed barrel hard to change out?


r/Walther • • 2d ago

She’s competition ready.

PDP is ready for my first comp this weekend. Liking these HandleIt grips so far while dry firing, seems to help my support hand connect. Anyone have any experience with the 5” PDP or the Polymer Match PDP? Curious how they shoot in comparison to the 4.5”. I imagine the difference with the 5” is negligible, maybe softer & easier to manage recoil. But 4.5” is prob quicker for follow up shots. Debating snagging the poly match down the road so I’m curious on people’s experience/opinions.

Ladies and gentlemen... The SD

"Walther PPK. 7.65 mil with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. Takes a Brausch silencer, with little reduction in muzzle velocity. "

Had a chance to film a proper shoot (pun intended) with the Walther PPK SD. I have it equipped with the low profile thread protector from @oldglorygunsandammo so I can keep the more traditional muzzle silhouette when not in seaky mode!

Very amusing gun, and definitely scratches the Bond itch!

Rented six guns at the range. Had never shot a gun before. Watched some YouTube videos on grip, stance and range etiquette. The PDP was the only one I could repeatedly shoot on target. Read more about the gun and Walther and came to learn my accuracy was not an accident…it was a function of incredibly thoughtful mechanics, ergonomics, and design…plus, I just loved the aggressive look. Have 500 rounds through it now. I love it! Glad to be here.

first gun ppks problems

1 Upvotes

got the interarms version in 380 and love it. the slides a bit tough to handle so i planned on replacing the slide spring with a 16lb one... the issue is removing the slide all together. the bottom of the slide is getting caught on the top of the barrel. im able to move the slide all the way back and up away from the frame- but i cant lift the slide enough to clear the barrel. has any one experienced this? i dont see any threads addressing this problem with any ppk. fyi gun show buy, guy was a little to happy to get rid of it i think. i can include a picture if that will help anyone solve this issue. thanks for reading

What 10-round magazines do I buy for my Walther PDP F-series Pro-E ?

It came with 3 18 round mags but I’m moving to a state that only allows 10 round magazines. I can’t find any info online for the best fit. Thanks!

It seems to be practically band new. Still have the ani seize copper grease on the slide and little to no scratches. The optic screws seem to have been ever so slightly stripped but I could just be overthinking that lol comes with original box and 3 mags.
