Compact, lightweight and low recoil, the Walther PD380 delivers excellent concealed carry performance. The slide is easy to rack, making chambering a round, clearing the weapon, and press-checking effortless. This, combined with the negligible recoil of the .380 ACP cartridge makes the PD380 an excellent choice for individuals with smaller or weaker hands. The overall design of the PD380 is very reminiscent of Walther’s renowned PDP. This is most evident in the Superterrain Serrations on the slide for enhanced slide manipulations even in adverse conditions or when wearing gloves. Another attribute borrowed from the PDP is the Performance Duty Texturing on the grips which offer an aggressive yet non-abrasive surface for excellent purchase and handling of the pistol.
