I have not seen a PDP here yet. Due to corona, the shooting ranges were closed for more than half a year. But the PPQ is quite popular since years in the club where I shoot IPSC. It's also used there in shooting courses for security companies.
The most popular pistols here for sport shooters are:
1911 and SIG 210 // for precision shooting
CZ75 Shadow // for IPSC Production Division
2011 SVI Infinity // for IPSC Standard Division (but in a much smaller number than the CZ75 and 1911)
In the biggest German online weapons forum, the Laugo Arms Alien is the current hotness. Some guys bought one.
Yesterday I was shooting for the first time in more than half a year. It was much fun! So we got a significant piece of freedom back.
A shooter next to me was shooting with his new SIG P320, another one was shooting a CZ75. I shot my P30 and AR15. The range was quite empty because the German soccer team was playing at the Euro championship.

My local range had a couple of the full size PDP’s come in today and the counter guys offered to let me throw a few mags through the one they have set aside for rental.
I found this fresh-out-of-the-box pistol to be surprisingly flat shooting, with a truly excellent trigger, and really good groups at speed at 10 and 15. Finished up with a hammer to the ocular zone on a Gunsite option target at 7 yards and had both rounds touching right inside the bottom center of the box. I couldn’t have done better with a paper punch. It made me look good to the counter kids (LOL).
It’s everything GJM said it is. It’s really a laser beam.
With that said, I think this “duty” trigger is rather light and short for “duty” without some very good training, but that’s just an opinion.
Anything I post is my opinion alone as a private citizen.
Seems like it should not be too difficult for them to offer a spring that increases trigger weight for duty/EDC. I am hoping for a steel frame version of this.
Follower design should be easy. Magazines will come in time. The trigger degrading should also be doable since I never noticed that in a PPQ. The optic mounting is above my pay grade. For Comp use, needs to accommodate a R3 Max.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I know the PPQ-M2 15 rounders work in the 4-4.5 & 5" compacts., but they're rare as hens teeth right now. Does anyone know if this magazine will work in the compacts? It Looks like it should,.. You'd just need to remove the sleeved grip extension on the mag.
