Introducing the Walther Arms PD380: A Compact Handgun for Every Shooter

The Walther Arms PD380 is the latest addition to the company's lineup of compact carry pistols, designed with features that make it accessible and shootable for everyone.

Hailing from a brand with a rich history in producing compact carry pistols, the PD380 stands out with its aggressive slide serrations, a marked improvement over its predecessor. The slide, crafted from steel and boasting a matte-black finish, houses a barrel that measures 3.7 inches long and is made of stainless steel.

The PD380 operates with a hammer-fired, DA/SA system. After the first round, subsequent trigger pulls are in single-action, offering a smoother and lighter pull compared to the initial double-action, which weighs 9-lb., 15.5-oz. The single-action trigger pull is a more manageable 6-lb., 2-oz.

The PD380 is chambered in the soft-recoiling .380 ACP cartridge, making it an ideal choice for shooters who prefer a handgun with minimal recoil. The gun's sights feature a three-white-dot configuration, providing excellent visibility in various lighting conditions.

The frame of the PD380 is made of black polymer, ensuring durability and a comfortable grip. The gun does not include a manual slide-stop lever, instead relying on the slide locking back on the magazine follower after the last round has been fired.

One of the standout features of the PD380 is its slide-mounted safety lever, an intuitive location for easy engagement. The Walther Arms PD380 comes with a nine-round detachable box magazine, ensuring a sufficient number of rounds for various situations.

The PD380's MSRP is set at $499, making it an affordable option for those seeking a reliable and compact handgun. Despite the lack of information about the manufacturing company's name and distance from Germany, the Walther Arms PD380 is undeniably a worthy contender in the compact carry pistol market.
