In Episode 28, Sofia interviews Chris Long, the Communications and Content Manager at Walther Arms USA concerning the Walther PDP F-Series. This version of the PDP firearm was made to fit the contour of a woman's hand and has many favorable features such as the reduced trigger reach, reduced grip circumference, and reduced slide force. These are only a few aspects that made the PDP-F an incredible option for women's concealed carry.  Chris also discusses the ramifications of using a red-dot along with his experience as a Modern Samurai Project Instructor and Competitive Shooter. Chris Long On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cannon762/?hl=en @cannon762If you are interested in exclusive content, become a Patreon via the linktree.Thank you to Ciguera Gear for sponsoring this episode.
