Walther PDP Disassembly.........................

[Ktm45]

that's nice but are they going to ship that chunk of metal i use on my birdhouses to my doorstep?

Figure out a way to get the get/buy a frame block (tool) from ZRT…. 0r take your frame to a gunsmith and have them press it out…. That slide stop is really in there. That’s what I did.

These are what I used. Crescent wrench from Amazon and ZR tactical block. Hit it hard on the cement. Came out within a few hits.

Have you taken that DPT trigger to the range yet? I'm still debating on installing one.

YES and i would highly recommend it. the trigger is crip and if you can ride the trigger... the follow up shots are sweet. If only a range toy would recommend ZR spring kit for the trigger. i left mine stock.

Riflegear in Fountain Valley sells them but they're out of stock right now.

I put one of the Walther performance triggers in a PDP in either November or December and had no problems knocking the pins out or back into place.

That's because you are a professional and the rest of us (or at least me) are wanna be hacks.

Same. Did the swap a couple weeks ago and it was about a 5 minute job. Just need to make sure the frame is well supported and the slide stop lever/pin is unobstructed.

What specific support and roll pin punches are you guys using? Always good to have more data points. Cheers

I just used two small armorers blocks, each end of the pistol resting on one so the slide stop could fall in between them. 3/32” punch and a couple of good love taps got the pin moving.

I just kept banging with a full sized hammer on a roll of painters tape. The tape probably had too much give but it finally gave way. I've taken it apart a few times since and now it comes off easily. I installed the dynamic performance trigger. It's better than the Timney Alpha competition trigger with a Johnny Glock Vex shoe in my G19.5.

That's reassuring to hear. Do you remember having any issues putting it back together?

None. It's just really hard to break the slide stop the first time. Are you removing the mag disconnect? Do it and buy the plug on eBay for the hole that will be in your frame.

Yup, it's my plan to do so in the near future. Already read about and bought the plug, but thanks for the heads up

Removed the mag disconnect, plugged the hole, dremeled the bottom ledge of mag release (left handed), installed the Dynamic Performance trigger.

1/2" painters tape for a bench block.
I don't recall exactly which punch, but I use starrett and mayhew USA made punches and I have a 2X pneumatic riveter that will drive them.
A pneumatic riveter is basically a variable-power air hammer.

Is there a step by step on how to remove the mag disconnect?

Disassemble gun.
Remove the mag disconnect.
Reassemble gun.
It's literally that simple.

If you can't figure it out with those instructions, you might want to have someone else do it who can.

f, I need a little more detail then that LOL. Even the military manuals show more

 

[chiroken007]

Why would they make a gun so difficult to disassemble? They don’t want people to use aftermarket parts or mods?
