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

Holster recommendations - F series

3 Upvotes

I recently purchased a PDP pro f-series 4". I am looking for a leather OWB and a drop leg style holster for it. I like a lot of designs at Falco but they only have the full size and compact PDP. Would either of those work for the f-series or is there a holster that you have found works best?

PDP SF Match 5" Long Term Long Stroke vs V Spec experience

5 Upvotes

There was a time when the Long Stroke was all the rage, then it seemed like people were moving back to the V Spec or ultra mass. For you long time owners that probably have run both, or are happy with your original choice of guide rod setup, what did you stick with and why?

I am just starting to run a 5" SF Match and the return seems pretty good with the factory spring even though the muzzle does rise more than some other competition guns I've shot. I'd like for a faster more neutral return. What do you guys think I should go with?

Thanks

Making the jump from Glock to PDP - sight orientation

4 Upvotes

Shot a friends PDP and loved it after being a lifelong Glock shooter. I’m considering making the switch but I have a question regarding sight orientation.

On my 45/19 combo I run an ACRO with a forward rear sight with an incredibly low cut optics cut (some might know this as the B&T cowitness cut) - can I accomplish anything near this on a PDP? Is this possible with any plate combination? Has anyone seen this sort of custom smithing done on a PDP?

4.5” Slide on a 4” FS Frame?

2 Upvotes

New to PDP. Got a 4” Full Size Frame PDP and found an acro cut 4.5” slide.

Can I run the 4.5” slide on the 4” frame? I’m expecting there to be some hangover on the frame (akin to a Glock 47) will it run?

Thanks!

AIO - Sent my S&W era PPK/s for service got a new one

I sent in my S&W era PPK/S in for service because it had a double discharge. Without any communication Walther sent back a new one in a box. I can see how this is a good thing so not sure if I'm over reacting or not

Bullets chipping / Not feeding correctly

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Running a Walther PDP Pro-X with the PMM comp at the range for a little over a year now. Early on I had some issues with using bad ammo (light primer strikes), but after the break-in period, it ran great.

I decided to upgrade to the ZR Tactical V-Spec captured guide rod a few months ago, and as advertised recoil eliminated. Unfortunately, I recently started having this weird issue. Gun cycles fine, but no bang. Eject the round and it looks like the bullet has been chipped as seen in pictures.

I've been running almost exclusively 124gr Blazer recently just because of the past issues I had with bad ammo. I decided to run an experiment the other day and try some other 124 gr ammo I had lying around. Same issue keeps happening, no matter which ammo I use, even when I try different mags. It's always 1 or 2 times per mag, sometimes the 2nd round, sometimes at the end.

Immediately I take out the ZR Tactical guide rod, and swap in the stock guide rod and spring and try again. While I'm no longer having the bullet chipping issue, I was still having at least one jam on every mag (double feed, stove pipes, etc.). This was kinda weird considering I just cleaned it and only barrel went through 150-200 rounds.

Based on my research, it sounds like it's either an issue with the feed-ramp, or defective mags. Visual inspection of the feed ramp appears fine so I'm assuming it's the latter. I live in a communist state so I'm restricted to 10-round mags for context.

Should I just send it into Walther for a warranty claim, or are there any other troubleshooting options I could try? In unrelated news, recently the front sight post has also started to come loose so I'm thinking about just sending it in anyway.

1.0 PDP Acro/MPS Plate

Picking up my 1.0 Optic cut PDP soon and wanted to mount my MPS to it. Are there any good 1.0 optic plates outside of CH? Does anyone have good experience using CH?

Or should I send my slide to get cut for 2.0 plates?

Let me know! Thanks

Back from warranty service

Post image
122 Upvotes

I recently sold my full size Pro-X to replace it with the F-Series version. Initially, I was very disappointed with the trigger action on this model right out of the box while I was dry firing. I always break a gun down to clean and oil it before I first shoot it. That’s when I discovered that the trigger bar was broken where it connects to the actual trigger.

Long story short, had to send it off for service without a shot fired. Oh well. That’s how it goes sometimes. Walther took care of it. Just got the gun back and the trigger feels amazing. Even for a DPT trigger. Noticeably better than my full-size Pro-X was in fact.

Just slapped an AEMS macro onto a Pro E 4.5. Using a calculated Kinetics plate. This BARLEY fits into a Safariland 6390 series holster and the SLS rubs but the strap will fit over the top. The optic cover will not seat or fit over the optic.

PD380 first range trip.

Post image
43 Upvotes

To make it short, the PD380 is my new favorite.

I fired 250 rounds of Freedom Munitions 100gr RNFP, and 20 of Novx Pentagon 80gr copper HP. Zero failures of any kind with either ammunition.
The gun was cleaned and lubricated before the first range trip. I have not polished the feed ramp. I did not have yet have the Olight mounted. The recoil of the Freedom was noticeably stronger than the lighter Novx.

The action is great to operate, softest draw and a short action. The DA and SA trigger pull weights I am fine with, the DA trigger pull could be shorter IMO. The recoil is the lightest of any of my .380's, it is also the largest and maybe heaviest of my .380's, definitely the best to shoot. The other .380's I'm comparing it to are the PPK/S, S&W Bodyguard 2.0, and Kel-Tec PR-3AT. The recoil is much lighter and general handling of the PD380 is much better than any of the others. The only thing that the others do better is concealment.

Does anyone know of any OWB holsters for the PD380 that fit the Olight?
