The PDP Compact is a striker-fired 9mm pistol with a 4-inch barrel, a 10+1 capacity and an optic-ready steel slide. It weighs 26.9 ounces and measures 7.5 inches overall. The Performance Duty Texture polymer grip, a 3-dot sight system and an integrated trigger safety are standard, and two magazines are included.

This compact pistol suits a buyer who wants a practical balance between concealment and control for defensive carry or range use. The optic cut lets the owner add a red dot later without changing the frame. The federal steps for buying are the same everywhere: a licensed dealer, Form 4473, a background check and a minimum age of 21. A third of states add a permit, a wait or a capacity limit.
