The Year of Walther Arms: Newest Pistols of 2024
Walther has been busy releasing several new pistols following the success of its PDP and WMP lines and bringing back some classic pistols with a facelift.
Walther is not one of those brands that gets a lot of recognition among many gun groups. You’ll rarely find someone blasting away with one at the range, but they deserve the eye a bit more. Most who have had their hands on one would agree.

I got my hands on the PDP SD Pro a few months ago at a move-and-shoot event and was blown away by how well it performed. The ergonomics and trigger are top-tier, and I wasn’t the only one feeling that way.
Walther has always focused on Trigger, Ergonomics, and Quality, a philosophy used to make all its pistols, including these newest ones!
PDP PRO-X PMM (9mm)
The PDP PRO-X is one of the most aesthetically pleasing pistols on the market. It begs to be a mantle piece yet gives the ability to be a flat and reliable shooter.
A compensator from Parker Mountain Machine sits flush on a full-size grip, making the transition seamless and super attractive. The compensator has a large port to handle various grain ammunition, keeping your options open.

The PDP PRO-X’s two main focuses were the trigger and grip. One of the pistol’s most notable features is the Dynamic Performance Trigger, which made the PDP tremendous. It also has a similar grip style with an aluminum magazine well, which lowers reload time.
The PDP PRO-X is available in compact and full sizes, with a magazine capacity of 20 rounds in the full size and 18 rounds in the compact. Both can be utilized for duty, home defense, or concealed carry.

PDP F-Series PRO (9mm)
Concealed carriers rejoice. There is a new contender for your waistband.
Designed with a reduced grip circumference for smaller hands and an overall smaller footprint to tuck away easily, the PDP-F Series is focused on making your concealed carry experience as easy as possible.
Like Smith and Wesson, which have the EZ-Rack system, the PDP-F features a 20% reduction in the force needed to rack the slide back. The Performance Duty trigger has a reduced trigger reach and crisp tactile feedback, which Walther states is geared toward the female shooter.
This enhances the ergonomics and provides a platform that gives you more confidence in your shots and more control over placement.

The PDP-F PRO is above that, with the flat Dynamic Performance trigger for more accuracy and feedback. It also has a flared aluminum magazine for quicker and more accurate shots.
It comes in 3.5 or 4-inch barrel length, and both are optics-ready with the Trijicon RMR footprint.
It has an 18-round magazine capacity, making it a compact yet effective platform for smaller or larger shooters.

PP (.32 ACP, .380 ACP)
For the first time since 2000, we have seen a return in the Walther PP. It’s been around since 1929 and used for more than just James Bond movies. Now, Walther has given the old detective pistol a facelift.
Available in both .32 ACP and .380 ACP, the new Walther PP is intertwined with modern innovation to bring the classic to modern times. Made with Walther TEQ at the forefront, this old-school shooter is now more ergonomic, smoother, and more shooter-friendly.
The classic has returned. Source
The PP is available in stainless steel and black. It has 8-round .32 magazines and 7-round .380 magazines, which work great for pocket carry.
While it wouldn’t be my first grab for personal defense, it can work for summer carry or the Walther or James Bond enthusiast.
Key Features
- Available in .32 or .380 ACP
- Available in Nickel or Blued Steel
- DA/SA Trigger

PPK/S SD (.32 ACP)
To truly get your Bond on, your PPK will need a suppressor. Walther has made that possible with the PPK/S SD, which features the same attention to trigger, ergonomics, and quality as the rest of the lineup but adds a threaded barrel.
Were you expecting an exploding pen? We don’t go for those anymore. Source
The PPK/S SD comes with a seven-round magazine and features a thumb rest for those with larger hands.
This pistol invented concealed carry with class. It’s the finishing touch if you’re wearing a suit.
Whatever you plan on using it for, whether you’re an enthusiast or a carryer, the PPK/S SD is a beautiful and classic design worthy of your safety.
Key Features

PDP PRO-E (9mm)
When a compact is too small, and you need a more consistent shot group, turn to the full-sized PDP Pro-E.
Now challenging competitors’ magazine capacity, the PDP Pro-E features a higher magazine capacity of 20 rounds—the largest of any Walther pistol since the P99.
The magazine extensions are made of aluminum, which adds to the pistol’s balance in your hand. And adds to the quality as well. Remember, Trigger, Ergonomics, and Quality are at the forefront of these pistols.
Now, that is a good-looking pistol. Source
The flat-faced polymer trigger provides a consistent break, is adjustable, and increases confidence in follow-up shots.
The PDP Pro-E, with a 4.5” barrel, is suitable for any competition or self-defense role.

WMP SD (.22LR)
Do you like your .22 suppressed? Of course you do. The beloved WMP now features a threaded barrel for your plinking and varmint hunting days.
One of the WMP SD’s most notable features is the four different ways to eject the magazine. In addition to the classic ambidextrous Walther paddle magazine release, there are also ambidextrous push-button releases.
Varmint don’t stand a chance. Source

And these new pistols are a clear indicator of that.
