Walther PDP New Duty pistol.

[crosseyedshooter]

Update with live fire results-

I performed this test once with each pistol on an outdoor range.

My 5" model (born on date 2022, FDS Serial Number Prefix) with stock trigger once again had a dead trigger after the slide went back into battery & the trigger was pressed again.

My 5.1 " SD-PRO (born on date 2023, FEA Serial Number Prefix) with the factory-installed Walther Dynamic-Performance Trigger did NOT exhibit the dead trigger issue.

Another data point- both handguns were purchased from Walther via the IOP program.

For me, these guns are primarily used for USPSA/2-Gun and are not carried or intended for defensive contexts.

There’s a comment in the above YouTube video that states Walther updated the design and 2023 PDPs no longer behave that way. It seems your experience supports this.

Walther is on the roll with major LE contracts:

Are there other major department contracts in addition to this one?

The Walther my former department is evaluating for a replacement for GEN4G17s versus a G45 MOS shit the bed and no longer functions. I photographed the pistol but did not examine it.

Ouch! Striker break? Trigger group problem?

An agency with more than 4k sworn should be announcing their PDP news soon.

Well, skimming over the first 40 or so pages of this thread shows me that there would be more than a few posts edited or redacted if the forum software allowed it. Nothing like a couple years of experience to set expectations straight.

Which ought to be a cautionary tale for another hot thread at the moment, but I digress.

It will be interesting to see how it works out.

Now that's humorous! In more ways than most will realize.
