New 2024 Walther PDP Long Term Review || F-Series 3.5" Not Worth The Hype?

This is Part II of my Walther PDP Gen 1 Review. Entitled "The Good, The Bad, The Interesting" The 1st video compared the PDP to the SIG P320 Carry. This time we're going long term review of the PDP with a new look, a new optic, and more abuse.
Check this link for Part I of the PDP vs. P320 Carry
• Walther PDP 4" vs. Sig...
Then we go to the F-Series PDP. Was it worth the hype for its target audience? It's gaining traction, but I dunno, you be the judge.
Colors for the Cerakoted PDP (By Cerakote Specialties)
H229 S&W Sniper Green
H465 Graphite Black
Similar to my Walther PPS M1.
Walther Arms did do a great job in solving some issues regarding this pistol and very happy that they take their customers seriously. Just because you're in America now, doesn't mean you have to be a d*ck..
If you're interested in me making a Video on how to color in the numbers of your magazines, whether they be metal or plastic, as long as the number is stamped (in-depth) than I will be happy to create it.

    I use my PDP F Series 3.5" as my primary carry gun It has Holosun SCS Green dot, TLR7a light, Lok Grips Brass Magwell, Lok Brass baseplates, Lok Brass Backstrap, DPM Recoil system. These mods made it a phenomenal shooter. The added weight and DPM system really minimized the snappiness of the gun. I put at least 1500 rounds through with zero failures to fires.

    Awesome video bro. Couple questions please. I have the PDP COMPACT and I freaking love it. I just ordered the F series to use as my summer carry. My questions are, I may have missed it but you said that your PDP was your winter time carry, so what's your summertime carry? And 2nd I can't find holsters or mags for my F Series. I'm wondering if my compact holsters and mags will fit my F Series when it gets here or what's up with that? Thank you for any advice 🙏🏾

    My summertime carry is currently my customized Glock 43x using Gen 3 Shield Arms 15rnd magazines and a Holosun 407k 3MOA optic, using a MIE Productions IWB holster. As for the F-series Holsters, I stated two options in the video within the F-series section Choice #1 was the Werkz holster using the Streamlight TLR7A IWB, or you can use Wethepeople holsters with the same light combination. The PDP 15 round, 15rnd+2 and PPQ M2 magazines will all fit your F-series PDP. Stay tuned for my next video when I show some footage of the Overwatch Precision Trigger and DPM recoil reduction spring system. They actually make a BIG difference!

    I just replaced my PDP F 3.5 Trigger with the Flat Face Overwatch Precision Trigger. The Trigger upgrades an already excellent "out-of-the-box" stock Walther Trigger. I have about 1500 rounds through it so far. Been mostly 124 Grain Blazer Brass.

    I've used a ZR tactical guide rod for the PDP-F 3.5. I don't think there is a noticeable difference in felt recoil. It may be better for the PDP Gen 1

    My PDP F-Series 3.5 is my only carry pistol. Totally stock except I moved the mag release to the "wrong" side! 🙃 I have XS Sights coming this week and a 1791 OWB Holster. Probably have a Overwatch trigger installed soon but I'm still deciding on which 'flavor' (curved or flat) to buy.

    @@luckylandy2945 So far from what I can see, they can interchange, especially if you have the same WML on it. I was able to do that between the PDP and the F-series 3.5" if they used the same Olight.
