Thread: Walther PDP New Duty pistol.

    My PDP pistols are 2,000 miles away, so it will be a while.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    Any recollection on the date codes? Would be valuable for potential buyers in this thread to at least validate or discredit the idea that a change on current production models may have resolved this.

    Also there appear to be 18 round mags available in a couple places:

    I tried lubing both the striker block itself and the trigger bar protrusion that interfaces with the block- no change in the hump sensation during pre-travel. Early production- purchased first week of release, entire gun already went back to Walther once due to repeated malfs, diagnosed as bad mags/replaced with blue follower mags.

    EDIT- at this point it’s likely to get traded. It’s not a bad gun, but it’s accuracy and degraded to “decent but not great” trigger don’t outweigh the logistical issues it presents- holster and mag availability, plus it handles just differently enough that I’d need to burn a fair bit of reps and ammo to build confidence in both it and my handling/presentation/manipulations.

    Agree with your reasoning 100%...a gun has to really shine to get selected over a Glock/S&W/Beretta, and if the trigger degrades, and other problems present, the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. That is why I am interested in getting to the bottom of this in some way other than putting 3,000 rounds (replaced at 50¢ a piece) through my own.

    Today, I bought a case of 124 +P HST for pre-Covid pricing, equivalent to what I paid for same in 2017. I’m finding quality brass cased Norma 9mm for $0.21/round. If you’re really paying $0.50/round, you (with all due respect) need to shop better.

    Where are you finding 21¢? I am not looking that hard (or much at all), I'm more just waiting for things to get better. But if I had a line on 21¢ 9mm I'd probably pick up a case or two.

    I look everyday and seldom see anything for less than $.38-.40/rd. There is a fair amount of in stock ammo, but price seems to have stabilized at $400/1000 for now.

    Enquiring minds want to know! Please do share…unless it’s frowned upon.

    Norma 9mm at .21 would be a distant outlier right now. I've seen it several places in the last week, and bought some, and it was nearly twice that, at the best pricing I saw. More than twice, at some places.

    No offense to the poster, and if he got it for .21, more power to him, but I think it's a math error. $21 for a box of 50? You bet. $10.50? That retailer wouldn't have survived 2020, with COVID/BLM/Biden.
