I hope Walther has run this new gun through enough testing that we don't get any recalls or "safety upgrades".
These have been in the wild for a few months now being tested by various respectable names in the training industry. Yes, they were given the guns for T&E, but I find these people to be well respected and trustworthy, particularly Matt Landfair, Bill Blowers, Nick Young, and Scott Jedlinski. I don't think they'd put their names behind inferior products. The fact that they're essentially a PPQ M3, I'd like to think they'll be solid since they're built on a solid base.
I've been wanting to pick up a PPQ M1 but will be hitting the brake on that and hopefully they will follow up with a PDP M1 which I'll be all over.
Gettin' down innagrass.
Let's Go Brandon!
Walther has a pretty good track record with it's designs. About the only recent duds I can think of are the budget/entry level PPX and it's recontoured successor, the Creed. I have a PPX and it's a reliable and accurate gun, but it was a sales flop for Walther. "Oversized and too damn ugly" are a description that I've heard.
Probably not since they are a sponsor of P&S and he openly talks about it. With that out of the way, I bought 2 PDPs, a compact and a full size. The triggers really are that good. I've shot Glock Gen 3, 4, and 5 for years with nothing but Gen 5s currently in my personal inventory. The Gen 5s have the best factory Glock trigger. My P320 X-Compact trigger and the other P320 factory triggers are, I think, better than Glock's. They are hot garbage when compared side by side to the PDP trigger. Other than a magwell on the full sized gun and mounting my RMRs, I can't think of anything I want to change on the PDP right out of the box. I have a list of parts I buy each time I pick up a new Glock.
Reads a lot, posts little.
Why do just about all semi-auto pistols now seem to come with front serrations? I'm a southpaw for shooting so I don't want the meaty part of my right hand over the ejection port as I attempt to chamber/eject a round and sure as hell don't want anything near that muzzle! Some you guys might like 'em but I'd just as well have a smooth slide up front.
