The PDP Pro is a full-size 9mm pistol with an 18+1 capacity, a 5.1-inch threaded barrel and an optics-ready slide. It weighs 26.9 ounces and measures 8.75 inches overall. A textured polymer grip, SuperTerrain front and rear slide serrations, adjustable sights and an accessory rail are standard. Three double-stack magazines come in the box, and the trigger averages 5.6 pounds.

The PDP Pro suits a shooter who wants a full-size polymer pistol for training, range work or defensive use, with adjustable sights for fine changes in point of impact. The ambidextrous magazine release and the threaded barrel add options to the setup. The federal purchase steps are the same across the country: a licensed dealer, Form 4473, a background check and a minimum age of 21 for a handgun. A third of states add a permit, a wait or a capacity limit.
