unless Uvalde, and unless Allen texas where the conceal carriers hid until a cop arrived and shot the gunman. So gun isn’t enough, being good isn’t enough. Good person with a gun who ACTS is what’s important.
I'm impressed too. Walther has had pretty horrible marketing on their guns in the U.S. forever and they are their primary market. The PPQ is an excellent gun but it never became a real Glock killer because Walther refused to spend enough on marketing.
This has a strong mesage about the importance of training and being mentally prepared. The pistol's presence made a lot of difference. Great video!! Hope to be able to look into this Walther.

Just bought a VP9 today and while looking at the VP9 gun clerk pull this new Walter out from the case and says, “you ever heard of the PPQ?” Well duh ofc who HASNT... “well they just released this new striker fired gun check it out.” ~~pulls PDP out from counter~~ “check it out. If you don’t buy this gun now i will at the end of my shift. Sure enough I bought the PDP went straight to the range and shot the shit out of it. I ABSOLUTELY love this thing. edit: yes I bought them both lol. Went to buy the VP9 and VP9 only, ended up getting both. Left the VP9 at home and took the PDP to the range and absolutely loved it.
I have a VP9SK - love it for EDC. Also have a Canik TP9DA and TP9SFX; both super striker fired pistols. Have been looking at the Walther PPQ for over a year, decided I was going to get a bullpup shotgun for home defense then I saw this PDP. I'm thinking like you - I may end up with both!
@@thechase-secondchance5077 I kinda wish I got a VP9SK but the gun store I went to didn’t have any SK’s, in fact I haven’t seen any SK’s for sale at all. I got the full size VP9 (third VP9 at this point) and in place of the SK I got the compact PDP. I do EDC both, VP9 primarily in the winter where I’m not to concerned about printing, and now the PDP in the warmer months.

Excellent and creative use of cuts to emphasize training as a key aspect of every firearm owner. Well done, Walther! I own a PPQ and am sad to see it discontinued, but the PDP will continue its legacy. Can't wait to own one!
Same, its Funny when I saw your comment.. because I deliver mail and the pdp was on the cover of a magazine and I was like whoa I need this!! I ordered one asap! Btw shootstraight online has 5 as of earlier today.
"Armed Citizen Stops Mass Shooting", wasn't he like the only one left alive in the store at that point. In all seriousness though, Armed Citizens should always be the ones to stop mass murderers.
There were several reviews already, seems a good gun almost flawless in its category. Price isn't bad either. gunbroker sells about 650. Same price as a gen 5 glock19 but better.
@@ralphperez4360 I like Walther pistols in general especially ppq or pdp but not this pps. 3.2 inch barrle and 6 rounds. I always felt the subcompact is not sufficient enough. Amost all my guns are compact or duty size, a few in competition size. I assume all criminals I encounter are trained and well armed. This is like a competition, every bit wins. Old time of revolver and shotgun are gone. Check out this channel or video here and watch many videos they have: ua-cam.com/video/AItWewXGhwg/v-deo.html then you can decide.
Wow. Now that's how you market your product. I was already interested in the PDP at initial impressions but Walther really drives it home. Outstanding video.
Dang it guys. Stop making these awesome pistols! I already have a Creed, PPQ, M4, and M5 Match SF Pro! Now I have to buy another Walther!!!! Love my Walthers. Keep them coming and I'll keep buying them!
Walther’s get easily over looked. Great firearms. I own the PPQ and will get the compact PDP. Intense video though. First time I’ve seen this approach.
Excellent societal and corporate message by Walther. It's clear where they stand. I even felt a bit emotional by the end. [I saw this video on their website and was so moved by it that I navigated to UA-cam specifically because I felt the need to express how impressive and important this marketing campaign is]
This video made me interested in the pdp. Then I saw how awesome the gun looks and it’s features and now I’m trying to hunt one down Edit: found a compact. Bought it and now waiting to install my optic Edit #2: so just giving out an update to anyone curious. You guys at walther have made by far one of the nicest polymer framed pistols I have ever shot. I mean the trigger is stupid good, the gun looks just amazing and the stippling is perfect. I’ve been running this bad boy with a holosun 507cX2 and man it’s been nothing but reliable. I’ve been shooting whatever I can find and so far 0 malfunctions with 800 rounds down range. Didn’t think I’d fall for this gun as much as I did. I’m a huge Glock fan boy but man, this gun is my exception.
as a Glock guy myself, this gun definitely interests me. The company willing to put out awesome videos like this really helps. I hate when companies hide behind the fact that we often buy guns in case when need to shoot someone.
Outstanding job with the marketing for this! So many great messages in this video. Just because you buy a badass weapon doesn’t automatically make you an expert. It’s all about training and being able to recognize what is a threat and what isn’t, when to engage and when to take cover, etc. Best video I’ve seen from any manufacturer. A++
I have been thinking about getting a PPQ as I purchased the .22 version since it was so cheap just for plinking, glad I waited as this will be my next purchase as soon as I can find one.
@@TheRebelMage I'm a revolver guy too because revolvers are more reliable. But I'll also get one of these. And I have a shotgun too. And a Galil Ace pistol in 7.62x39. And a Bula M14. And a .300 Winmag bolt-action. LOL
Revolver guy myself and I bought a PDP just a few days ago. To answer TheKoa's question as to why? Have you ever held and shot a Smith & Wesson model 19 or 686? A Colt Cobra or Detective Special? The list goes on and on...a lot of those classic revolvers are just so well made that it'a hard to not appreciate them.
Watching this video makes me train harder at the range, in the gym and increase my situational awareness. No more wearing earbuds while going to the store, getting gas, or working in the yard.
Had a Sig P320 in layaway @ a local shop. Found out about the problem of them firing on their own & got uncomfortable since I carry appendix. I then watched tons of top 5, 7, 10, etc. vids on handguns & noticed the PDP kept coming up. And after watching TONS of reviews, I liked what I saw & QUICKLY changed my layaway. The PDP compact is my new EDC. I LOVE IT!!! Getting the F-series (3.5" barrel) next.
Just bought one. I love how smooth the trigger feels. Really good ad as well. Work hard. Train well. Shoot a lot. Hopefully, it won't be needed but better to be a warrior during times of peace than a gardener during times of war.
I feel like I need to buy this handgun almost entirely because of the bold advertisement for it during these times. What a phenomenal way to advertise.
I just bought an PPQ Q4 Tac as my first gun. A PDP is definitely next on my list. I really like the look of the grip. It also looks like it'll work great with a sweaty palm like mines. Aside from being modular, being accessory ready is also a big factor. Saves me the money from getting someone to mill the slide and, towards an optic instead.
What a great video it shows the reason why people carry every lawmaker should be required to sit down and watch it to show them the real world out there
Just bought the 4.5" full size. This gun is absolutely sick. The trigger is phenomenal, the grip is perfect, the weight fully loaded (18+1) just doesn't feel heavy, not sure how they did that. This the first Walther I've ever owned. I wanted the Q4 SF but $$ was a little to high for me. Now I have the best of both worlds. Hats off to you Walther. I think this gun will carry the PPQ's torch very well.
I'm a French Shooter...Evevery body is about CZ and Glock...Litterally...You convinced me with this marketing Video...PDP Compact, Pkk and a P22 for fun !!
My agency switched from Glock to Walther. I was skeptical at first until I trained with it. Awesome pistol! Accurate, reliable and the trigger is amazing! I still have respect for Glock, I carried one for years, but it’s nice to have another choice.
I recently bought a Walther PDP full size 5 inch-barrel for conceal carry (yes, it is a big gun, but I carry it concealed on me. It can be done. 6'00" 220 lbs). Anyway, this new designed handgun, called PDP for a good reason, is absolutely outstanding! Flawless, accurate, and combat ready. I own a few other recognized brand name guns, but the PDP is IT for me. Highly recommended 👍🏻
Ya I’m a Big Dude and I’m considering getting the PDP 4.5 as a EDC. If you can do that with your 5. Then I’m getting more and more confident I can do it with the 4.5. 😊
A good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. Good message
Exactly, and thanks to that gun he back home safe to his family 💪
Less good guys with guns means more crime!
A well trained good guy who practices saves the day! ✅
As simple as that
unless Uvalde, and unless Allen texas where the conceal carriers hid until a cop arrived and shot the gunman. So gun isn’t enough, being good isn’t enough. Good person with a gun who ACTS is what’s important.
BEST. FIREARM. MARKETING. VIDEO. EVER!
Absolutely!!!
@@tleznek no but now I’m gonna look them up lol
Nothing makes me hard like a testosterone-infused gun ad!
100% american marketing
No it isn't. Low Plastic sights with tiny dots that are hard to acquire. Heavy recoil that makes it hard to rapid fire good groups
HOLY SH*T!!! THAT WAS 1000 TIMES BETTER THAN ANY OTHER GUN COMMERCIAL IVE SEEN IN MY 20 YEARS OF LIFE!!!! I WANT ONE!!!!
I'm impressed too. Walther has had pretty horrible marketing on their guns in the U.S. forever and they are their primary market. The PPQ is an excellent gun but it never became a real Glock killer because Walther refused to spend enough on marketing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Me to
This is one of the most relevant and well executed promos I’ve ever seen. Great job, definitely going to get my hands on one to shoot!
PROMO or not it needs to get peoples attention no matter the weapon. As criminals become more bold so must the citizen.
This has a strong mesage about the importance of training and being mentally prepared. The pistol's presence made a lot of difference.
Great video!! Hope to be able to look into this Walther.
That’s what we were going for!
It’s almost as if there should be some sort of training standard, in order to carry a firearm 🤔
@@GNaj617 Sounds likes someone who's had no interaction with the gun community. We emphasize training and responsibility with firearms; we don't need governments to tell us to do it.
The presence of pistol made a lot of difference... In an over the top mini action movie written and filmed to sell a pistol. Shocking.

How are they both compare? I'm looking to replace my VP too.
So is the trigger for the PDP really as good as they make it out to be?
Holy cow, this commercial goes hella hard to eleven!
Man, this was a great commercial. I didn't realize how intensely it was hitting me until it was completed and I almost starting tearing up, haha.
I had to watch it 3 times in a row. Was to good
I cry everytime lol
Damn that was intense. That’s how you sell a gun. But the countdown has likely already begun until UA-cam takes this down.
Agreed, but UA-cam better wake up instead of being "woke up" since there're other platforms that people/companies can & are moving to.
The real countdown is until the DNC/Harris-Biden tries to take our AR15s, and shove all kinds of unconstitutional weapons laws down our throats.
Guns = Big Money. Gun Owners > Biden and his Globalist Shills. The only way these tyrants can take your guaranteed rights is if you let them. Do not comply and fight anti gun legislation at local levels and demand others know YOUR rights.
Supermarket shooting happened. 1 officer killed.
What a stupid comment.
The guy with the shotgun looks like Silent Bob lmao
you don't say that!
🤣🤣
He and Jay would never hold up the Quickstop
That classic mass shooting weapon, the pump action shotgun
Excellent and creative use of cuts to emphasize training as a key aspect of every firearm owner. Well done, Walther! I own a PPQ and am sad to see it discontinued, but the PDP will continue its legacy. Can't wait to own one!
There has never been a gun that had me sold as fast as this smh
Not a single one!
Now available at Cabelas

In fact, it's about training according to reality instead of static training and trusting the "double tap"
He fckd up....he forgot to get her snacks.
As if you'd even see that in the news
ohhh man, I hope that dude had his USCCA card.
😂😂😂
Nice video with different aspects as shooters. Hope everyone understands that training is whats important. PDP looks like a home run right now.
Sent chills down my back. I'm getting one. At least one.
That was quite powerful. Best gun ad I'd seen so far in all my years.
Walther just earned a lifetime owner before I've even boughten one
This one will be a home run 😎 Love my PPQ so i am excited to see it in Switzerland.
Gibt es die bei euch schon zu kaufen?
With what just happened in Indiana this commercial is even more relevant you got to be ready.
Love this ad so much I might get a PDP compact..
There were several reviews already, seems a good gun almost flawless in its category. Price isn't bad either. gunbroker sells about 650. Same price as a gen 5 glock19 but better.
Nah dude. Try the PPS M2. its much cheaper and its way more concealable. You don’t need more than 7 rounds for party time.
@@ralphperez4360 That's already covered with the M&P Shield. I like external safeties, and train accordingly. PPS M2 doesn't have an external safety.

Just bought a 5" Full Size. Previously carried a G17 and a PPS M2, but oh my word this PDP is a different level altogether.
Would you help me find back up irons for mine I’m having trouble finding them
Makes you wanna chunk that Glock in the garbage, doesn't it?
This is the greatest commercial I’ve ever seen.
Less a Walther ad, more a defensive use of a firearm education session

So I bought the 5" Full Size as a range toy...

A big fail. The civilian forgot the groceries. 🤣
lol he goes to another store and gets into another gunfight :D
@@em23 merica
He went in for bubblegum, he was all out.
An even bigger fail is that this commercial was filmed in California. Its very unlikely that local authorities would allow civilian ccw holders.

Well my wife says I need to get her this gun and after the best gun commercial of all time I've GOT to now!
I have been thinking about getting a PPQ as I purchased the .22 version since it was so cheap just for plinking, glad I waited as this will be my next purchase as soon as I can find one.
Excellent representation of what could (and does) happen in everyday life. Just as Walther says, "It's your duty to be ready".
I'm a revolver guy myself, but that is a beautiful pistol.
why are you a revolver guy?

I got freaking goose bumps! Beautifully done.
The fact that this only has 170k views is nuts. Cody and Jim put a lot of work into this. Best marketing vid ever!
Thanks Walther. This PDP checks all the boxes. Best polymer SF gun ever.
This ad is now, sadly, even more relevant than before. Get ammo, get training, get a weapon light and red dot optic. You need to be prepared.
Probably the best Ad I've seen for any firearm...ever.
The commercial is as cool as the gun itself. DAMN! Walther's going hard after the market now. 👍
Very powerful video. Love it. Looking forward to owning one.
Walther knows how to hit hard with these ads.
These guys are right. A good firearm can be a difference between life and death.
Wow that was great! Good job Walther!
I got to shoot one of these today, seriously considering it.
This just confirms what I already knew prior to purchasing my PDP...Well done ✔️
Epic short film..we need part 2!! Merry Christmas
Just ordered my PDP this morning. Great video.
Love my Walter PPQ M2 and the PDP looks even better
Great video. Excellent message.

Imma have to cop one of these. Looks like a nice pistol. A worthy upgrade to the PPQ.
My favorite brand I have a Walther PPQ 40 S&W and I don't have a ton of range practice and the gun it's accurate as hell and looks amazing
Just bought one. I love how smooth the trigger feels. Really good ad as well. Work hard. Train well. Shoot a lot. Hopefully, it won't be needed but better to be a warrior during times of peace than a gardener during times of war.
Ready to show this in store on the 19th!
Is that the official release date?
@@RaddestDad It was...then they upped it and the day this video came out became the official release date

Amazing Pistol..This PDP model will sell very well I am sure of that!

Damn. Whoever directed that commercial has a bright future in film making.
Great message from Walther guys. They made their job really well, the next step is just about us 🤷♂️
Picked up my ppq 45acp last week, I'll be buying this as well
Thanks Walther.
