Walther PDP New Duty pistol.

[GJM]

I am going to buy the compact as soon as its available in my area. I know that the sight cuts are for Glock sights, my question is which Glock sights, Gen 3 & 4 or gen 5? on glocks there is a difference in poi between the sights

Safest answer is to shoot the PDP with factory sights, observe POI, measure those sights and choose accordingly.

I just played with the full size gripped model a bit ago in a Bass Pro (so no luck trying the trigger). I really liked the grip but thought it was a bit longer than a Glock 17. I also really liked the slide.

I just checked websites, the Glock 17.5 is 5.47 in and the DPD is 5.7

Oh well, hopefully they come out with a slim mag well or something for the compact to add just a tad more length.

I haven't had a chance to read the whole thread, so sorry if this was already addressed, but is it still a fully tensioned striker or did the internals change at all. I dig on the PPQ but the trigger is just a little too "good" for me to be comfortable with on a defensive gun.

It has a very good if not better PPQ Trigger.

As far as I know, it’s still a fully tensioned striker. Apparently they lightened the take up on the trigger to accentuate the wall, but I can’t say what that feels like as I’ve never played with one. The trigger on a regular PPQ is already pretty light.

With all the other positives the gun brings to the table, I’m not sure how I feel having a light trigger on a defensive gun honestly. Sure, I’d prefer to have a manual safety or striker control device, but the way I set my AIWB holsters up paired with good reholstering technique make me feel safe enough that not having a striker control device or safety isn’t a deal breaker by itself.

It probably won’t make a great threat management gun, but LE have been doing threat management with glock triggers for a while now.

Mostly I’m just excited to shoot this thing, it’s thoroughly interesting.

Can anybody comment on how the full size PDP compares to a g17 in terms of grip length? I’m thinking it might conceal a little better in AIWB just because it doesn’t have the corner or the magazine protruding, but if the grip is longer than a g17s I’ll be going for the compact.

As mentioned previously, its about. 25 inch longer than the G17. It's a little shorter than a CZ P09 or P10F with mag inserted.

I have noticed that, surprisingly, thefirearmblog.com has had zero coverage of the new Walther — wonder if they are tied up with a major manufacturer?

The PDP takes Glock sights. Should I get sights for a G17 or G19 to put on mine?
