Walther PDP

[TLHelmer]

A bit irked at the vendor I got this from, but I picked up my PDP Compact today:

No shipping notice, I just happened to decide last night to check the status, only to find it was delivered to my LGS on Monday...

Looking forward to shooting it.

Where did you find one in stock?

Sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com had them in stock for a minute on 4/9. They've been OOS since, but do have a pre-order up so that you can order one and they'll ship it when it comes back in stock.

Thanks! I ordered pending back in stock. Now I just need to find extra mags for it that are in stock.

Thanks again!

 

[wtburnette]

You're welcome. If you find mags, please let me know. I haven't been able to find any in stock.

I keep telling myself I don't need another handgun but man the force on this one is strong.

You're welcome. If you find mags, please let me know. I haven't been able to find any in stock.

Will do!

Picked up the compact and got the ACRO mounted.

Went to sight it in today, shoots very good, that target actually has two different sight adjustments in it and a mixture of fmj and Fed hp's.

Ended up getting my plate on Friday, right before a 2 day shooting event up in Huntington. Got the red dot mounted, sighted in and was ringing steel pretty quickly. The more I shot the gun, the more I liked it.

Agreed. Although when I compared it to his PPQ, I felt the PPQ had a better trigger (break and reset).

I thought you were full of at first, after all the reviews saying the PDP trigger was better, but you were right. The PDP trigger is slightly lighter, but the PPQ reset is much more tactical and enjoyable. Both are great triggers, but I'll give my PPQ the slight edge of being better.

I’ve heard the recoil is “surprisingly snappy”. Any first hand opinions?

I keep going back and forth between “need” and “oh shut up and go buy one already.”

Absolutely not true. I thought WT's shot just fine and felt no difference in terms of recoil than any other modern striker fired gun of it's size.

If I wasn't married to Glocks, had Sig as a thing on the side, stalked Google images of HK VP9's, I'd consider the PDP as an option.

Absolutely not true. I thought WT's shot just fine and felt no difference in terms of recoil than any other modern striker fired gun of it's size.

I agree with this. Felt recoil is pretty subjective I think. I don't remember it feeling any snappier than the PPQ, or my P10C.

While these PDP's are pretty light guns (the slide is a bit wider than a PPQ but there are lightening cuts in the slide that make it feel very light) I didn't notice it feeling snappy and i've owned most poly guns out there.

 

[smythe012]

So what I’m hearing is, I should shut up and go buy one already.

I finally got my optic plate and HS507C mounted. I can't wait to get it zeroed and run some rounds through it.
