Walther Arms, Inc. is rolling out a polymer-frame version of the new PDP Match pistol, creating a 9mm duty pistol with top of the line performance in an easier-to-carry frame. This new model has the power and durability for those focused on everyday use, but with the features which make it ideal for competitive shooting. The PDP Match has a performance trigger, an 18-round magazine, a 5-inch barrel and a sleek, full-size polymer frame to provide successful results with every shot.

“Our goal is to consistently provide our consumers with dependable and durable handguns, which ultimately increases their confidence as they feel comfortable with their firearm, and they look good in the process. The PDP Match not only has sophisticated aesthetics, but it keeps shooters in the action longer with their time and attention focused on their target, not worrying about their performance,” said Jens Krogh, vice president of marketing and product development for Walther Arms, Inc. “This is more than a firearm; it's a collection of power, precision, and perfection, promising unparalleled performance and redefining the standards of excellence in the world of handguns.”
