Walther PDP Compact 4”

Added a DPM recoil spring and brass backstrap to my compact. Didn't notice that it was any more snappy than a glock 19. It might have been just wasn't enough to bother me.

Maybe snappy? I wouldn't know, but it returns to zero VERY fast. Also points very naturally for me. Very little effort on my part to draw and present with sight on target. Although I'm shooting a full size.

This is it....it returns to zero and if you are on the wall, next shot fires...and a nice rhythm. The full size just feels good to shoot.

Just be careful with over-inserting the 18-rd mags. Can damage the ejector if you're not using base pads that prevent the mag from inserting too far.

I'm not understanding how that's possible, the basepad goes all the way flush to the base and that's when it clicks in, I can't push it in any farther than the basepad being flush.

Do you mean the 18 round standard FULL SIZE magazine? Not the 18 round COMPACT SD PRO magazine?

Do NOT use the 18 round standard FULL SIZE in the compact. Use the compact magazine.

Is the PDP really that good? How does it compare to Glock 19 or similar?

I tend to find that Glocks are awesome guns. They last forever and rarely need major fixes. They run every type of ammo, but They aren't superior to the brands that out price them. My Glocks tend to not shoot nearly the MOS my 2.0 or sigs shoot. they also cycle smoother which is a nice feeling when shooting. Glocks are awesome and I always recommend them to my friends that are new to guns, but if you get efficient with guns there are better options around the same price point.

Apologies. Thought you were referring to the full size. 🤙

No I meant the compact but some people probably didn’t even know they make those pro compact mags since there’s no pro on roster

Yeah, didn't realize there was a compact size 18-rd mag. I was thinking you were talking about running a full size 18-rd mag in a compact PDP (which is doable, just dicey if you're slamming mags).
 
I have printable mag plates stl files that prevent over insertion. Both for 18 round and 10 round. They were designed for use with the OEM magwell.
