Material Options for Walther PDP Compact Holsters

 

Walther PDP Compact Leather Holsters 

Leather holsters offer excellent comfort and durability, molding to your body and firearm over time for a snug, glove-like fit. Made from premium full‑grain or Italian leather, they provide natural retention and protection while softening with use—often becoming comfier than synthetic options.

Walther PDP Compact Kydex Holsters 

Kydex holsters are ultra‑lightweight and rigid, offering precise, custom molding that securely retains your firearm—even under demanding conditions—without needing a break‑in period. Their material resists chemicals and weather, provides adjustable retention (often reaching Level II–III), and delivers a satisfying “click” on draw and reholstering

Walther PDP Compact Nylon Holsters 

Nylon holsters are lightweight and cost-effective, made from durable, breathable materials like ballistic or Cordura nylon, making them ideal for concealed carry without adding bulk. Semi-universal designs molded around your firearm—and often compatible with similar-size guns—offer decent retention through body and belt pressure, especially for IWB use.

This is the 3rd holster I've purchased from Craft Holsters and this one impressed me as well as the previous products. They are excellent quality and very comfortable to wear. This holster is breaking in pretty quick and holds the weapon really nice. I am totally pleased with the customer service and holster.

I own the Walther PDP F series 9mm with 3.5" barrel. Craft doesn't have a holster for this gun yet. So I took a chance and purchased their Nylon Cross Draw gun holster Code It. C826. It's for the Walther PDP 9mm compact. When I checked on Walther's web site. The only difference between them was the barrel length. Mine is a half inch shorter. My F series fit perfectly! The holster is just a 1/2" longer. No big deal. So for me this holster worked perfect for my new Walther PDP F series 9mm. Hope this helps someone else.
