New to guns recently purchased a walter p d p this is by far the most straightforward and thorough explanation to clean your gun Thank you for sharing greatly appreciate it sir!
I'm soon buying my first Handgun here in Austria, and i decided for this Lovey Gun instead of a Glock ( even as Austrian..) after I had it in my Hand and tested the Trigger. So thanks for this Video, really liked this video.
With the pdp you can actually just simply pull down on the slide lock tabs. No need to pull back on the slide at all! Overall a very thorough and well made video!
What colors are we looking at here? Is the frame a shade of bronze or maybe tan? The slide looks to be the factory original without cerakote but it's hard to tell. Was this a special edition from Walther or did you have it cerakoted yourself? Thanks.
Oil in the striker channel can attract dirt and grime. This could eventually cause light primer strikes due to the striker not being able to move at full speed.
I'd say no. ⬇️ I'd add to remove, clean the slide PDP optic plate. Depending on where or how you carry the 9mm PDP. It's easy but the screws are tiny. Be careful.
Dissapointed to see that strange barrel wear on the underside where I assume the spring makes contact in some way. Never seen that on any other pistol but every PDP field strip/dissaembly vid shows that wear and some even show metal shavings. I think it might have something to do with the plastic guide rod flexing when the gun is fired but thats just a guess.
Every striker fire pistol I own has wear on that spot. Out of all my glocks, CZs, s&w, the Walther pdp actually has the LEAST amount of wear in that spot when directly compared. All you're seeing is the corrosion resistant coating of the barrel being worn down, not the actual barrel itself. The barrel itself is made of hardened steel while the guide rod is made of a lesser OR softer metal that won't damage the barrel. You will honestly go through multiple guide rods before the integrity of the barrel is even up for questioning, meaning thousands upon thousands of rounds. As long as you keep your pistol well maintained and properly lubricated this will be a non-issue.

I love mine. Large frame, 4.5”. Typical Walther quality. Excellent. Enjoy your PDP😊 from Kentucky
@@kevingilbert1608Got the some one myself! A big thanks from Texas!
So one year later, do you still like the PDP? About to get mine as PDP FS Match Variant
It’s still cool.
Amazing ! Going to get PDP Thanks for the detail and clarity to show the process
. I'm fairly new to guns and your video helped me break down, field strip, clean and lube my new PDP, thanks.
Great tutorial! This is my first handgun, so I appreciate the step by step walk-through!
@@cheeseman441 Thank you

Marine Corps style how you used the bore brush and jag👍🏼
Thank you for sharing this information it’s very helpful 🙏🏾
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video. First gun i cleaned and your help made it possible!
thank you for this video!
Great job!
thank you for this
Does the inside of the barrel get coated with CLP or should that remain clean and dry?
@@thehousemann Clean and dry if you’re using it. Light coat of CLP if it’s going to be in the safe long term.
Awesome, just got one of these bad boy. How often do you clean it ?
Clean after every use.
as many times as you want. 1-3 times a year. i do a light cleaning everytime after i shoot
Thanks

What happens if you did get CLP inside the breach face area and striker area?? Is it catastrophic to the firearm??
Not right away. If it gets too much over time it could gunk up and slow down your striker. This could cause light primer strikes.
What color PDP number is that one . Wow that’s a nice one
OD Green
It’s just the lighting.
thnx
Like mine, that ODG looks brown.
@@USfoolsgold it’s mostly just the lighting.
TY4SHARING!
Are the rails made of metal?
Yes.
excellent subbed
How often do you recommend cleaning?
After every use, regardless of round count.
So, I cleaned mine before I watched this video, and definitely got clp in both places that you said it to, what type of damage does that cause?
Oil in the striker channel can attract dirt and grime. This could eventually cause light primer strikes due to the striker not being able to move at full speed.
@@SkullCrushInc Thank you, that’s good to know
After how many rounds should you do maintenance like this? These things are meant to run dirty right?
I'd say no. ⬇️ I'd add to remove, clean the slide PDP optic plate. Depending on where or how you carry the 9mm PDP. It's easy but the screws are tiny. Be careful.
My kit only has a 22

Please do a video on how to clean the Walther PDP-F Series
It’s the same procedure for the PDP-F.
@@SkullCrushInc Thank you very much for your help.

I don’t leave my gun dirty. I clean after every use, regardless of round count. But yes it can run dirty within reason.
