Ordered.

I tried 147 HST in my full size PDP this afternoon. The pistol is zeroed for 150 Syntech. I shot this freestyle at 20 yards.



Here is my pistol with light, and unloaded magazine with Taylor Freelance brass 140 extension.



With the OEM spring and follower, I get 22 rounds in the TF 140 extensions. With the Grams spring and follower, I get 23 rounds in the magazine.

I received the CHPWS (Chip wiz) RMR/SRO/Holosun plates in the mail today, and mounted an SRO on my second full size PDP. The chip wiz plate is better fit and designed than the OEM plate, so it will be a good test as to how much a plate matters with a SRO.

I received Ameriglo GL-511 BUIS and installed them on my Compact PDP to go with the 509T. Darn they took a fair amount of filing and then hammering to get the rear sight in the dovetail. The front sight snapped right in. The XL height is perfect for BUIS with the 509T.







The triggers on my Compact and number two full size are better than my original PDP full size. Not sure whether that started from day one, or something happened with shooting the number one full size. Will continue to monitor this. Mulling over trying the Walther OEM performance trigger, although I really like the stock triggers.

Trying to locate a full size 4” to no avail as yet.

There were a number of them on gun broker, and they seem to bring less money than either the Compact or 4.5 full size.

Seems a bit expensive, but they're available:

I got my second full size zeroed with a SRO, using a chip-wiz plate. No drama, and it shoots good. Also, my Compact PDP also likes 147 HST. My light bearing holster for the full size and X300 arrived today. Not going to beat a Red Hill Tactical for pure competition, but very serviceable and it got here in just a few days.



I handled a Q4 Steel Frame today, and it feels almost identical to a PDP Compact, just heavier. I really hope Walther releases a Steel Frame version of the full size PDP, as the grip on the Q4/5/PPQ are just too small for me.

ETA: Forget to mention it is a TREX light bearing holster:

Was able to fondle one today and the trigger was pretty darn good. The thing that surprised me the most was just how light the gun feels in the hand. Do you guys notice it when shooting? My 45 with a ACRO felt heavy next to it.

Pro-tip: if you decided to dry fire reloads with TF brass extensions, wear boots.

Ask how I know, or don't.


P.S. Still 4 oz lighter than my frame- and slide-milled CZ without the mag. You need that brass grip asap.

Surely someone can make a tungsten backstrap for it.

Taylor Freelance has a heavy back strap coming out very soon for the PPQ and PDP Compact with the full size PDP a little longer out.
