    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.

    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

    Own a pdp 5in full size odgreen, 4in compact and just bought a 3.5 F series . All with halosun SCS.
    Also own a ppq m2 navy and ppq m2 4in.
    No issue with any of them.
    Great video.

    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.

    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 🙏🏾

    • @macross40

      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!

    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.

    I find the 3.5 F really snappy as compared to my MP9 2.0 3.6 compact. I may try a different recoil spring?

    • @macross40
      @macross40 5 місяців тому

      Yes. I have a part II coming up. For the 3.5" I changed to the DPM uncaptured recoil spring system and used the slightly heavier one to work with both ball-ammunition as well as self-protection ammunition

      I have both and disagree - it could be your grain weight. I use 147 HST’s and they both shoot fantastically. I honestly have no idea when people say that. To each their own!
      I played around with the DPM Systems spring kits but settled back on the factory set-up - zeroing my dot was the easiest at 12 yards all shots almost in the same hole.

    I have a Walther PDP compact with a Holosun 508T and a Holosun PID, ZR Tactical ultra mass guide rod with a 15lb spring.. Taylor Freelance brass magwell and their deathgrip backstraps, as well as their +0 basepads.. I also got a +12 mag extension from them, nothing like having 27+1 😂😂😂 and i have an Insane kydex creations flextron holster, as well as a QVO tactical holster that i switch between..I just recently put some suppressor hight tritium sights from Truglo that gives a 1/3 lower cowitness.. Right now its being sent off to Monsoon Tactical to get the Lucky 7's port job.. I can't imagine swapping this out with another gun as my EDC.. I may get the Dynamic Performance trigger innthe future, but im in no rush, because its probably the best trigger u can get out of the box.. But the DPT has a reset similar to a race gun and its comparable to an Apex and an Overwatch.. I'd probably go with the DPT over both of them simply because a Walther trigger on a Walther gun is guaranteed to be more reliable
