Walther Blue Label Program

I was pleasantly surprised to find out Walther has a blue label program. I just picked up a new PDP Compact thru the program. Gun ships with three mags versus the standard two.

Got it today.



I picked it up today. I have not fired it yet but I have had several fondling sessions. This thing feels awesome. It's very light, feels good in the hand and is just a very nice , very aggressive looking weapon. Looks to be high quality. Can't wait to put some rounds thru it. This will be carried a lot for sure.

I'll admit to ignorance.
What is a "blue label" ?

Some manufacturers offer discounts to purchasers with certain backgrounds, such as former or current law enforcement, EMS including fire fighters and paramedics, former or current military, corrections officers, etc.

This is Glock’s description of that program:

https://us.glock.com/en/buy/blue-label-program

The Glock pistol boxes for this program actually have (or at least at one point did have) blue labels rather than the standard red labels.

Walther, whom many say is trying to break more into the LEO market with the PDP, appears to be offering the PDP at a "discount" to LEOs at the exact same price anyone can buy a PDP with just one less magazine.

Yeah compared to say Glock’s blue label pricing it’s nowhere near as generous.
