Walther PDP Trigger

[madstyle1]

Anyone here who owns a PDP change their trigger?

I am hearing great things about Overwatch Precision but also liking the Walther Dynamic Trigger because its from Walther itself.

Thoughts or Opinion?s thanks.

No need imo

No need imo

I dry fired several at my local gun store, as they have a law enforcement only case, but will let some non-law enforcement dry fire them. I have dry fired about 3 of them there. I also rented one at my shooting range. Although the reset is short, I don't find it very tactile. The stock Glock gen 3 reset is far stronger, and much more tactile.

I got the Performance Trigger for the predecessor of the PDP, the PPQ, simply because of prodding from friends... It is NOT WORTH the price tag. If I had a do-over, I would have not gotten it. The Walther triggers are already awesome in itself...

Are you one of those that pin the trigger to the rear? Or those that have the trigger push out to the reset point so you can initiate the press?

Good question. I'm more the trigger push to the reset point, and that is where the Glock shines. The reset is very strong, loud felt click, and so tactile that I can feel it in my finger. The PDP reset, although short, seemed weaker, and not as assertive to me.

Right on thank you

If you are considering a new trigger before buying a PDP, hold off and shoot the PDP exclusively for a couple of months. You will appreciate one of the best polymer striker fired triggers around when it come to the trigger break. The VP9/VP40 is right up there with the PDP.

I?ve only tried it a couple of times at the store but strangely enough I think the Canik TP9SA actually has a slightly better reset feel than the PDP or VP. The trigger break is about the same (excellent) but the reset is slightly more crisp. Does that affect accuracy? No. It just feels a little better between shots.

No need to upgrade the trigger in a PDP or PPQ.

If you want to upgrade the trigger in a striker fired pistol, get a Glock and drop a Timney in it. It's a crazy light and crisp trigger.

The M&P 1.0's definitely improved with the Apex FSS trigger. The original had about a 6 pound trigger, with the Apex, it dropped to 4 pounds. I didn't like the Apex scissor safety because it cause a hitch in the trigger pull so I put the original hinged trigger back and now my M&P 40 breaks at 2 pounds, 2 oz and M&P 9 breaks at 2 pounds 1.5 ounces. Not a practical CCW gun but incredibly fun range guns. As a reference my M&P 2.0 10mm has the new improved S&W 2.0 trigger which breaks at 4 pounds 10 oz. Not great but an improvement over the 1.0

PDP 4 pounds exactly
VP9 4 pounds 5 oz
VP40 4 pounds 8 oz

P320 9mm 3 pounds 2 oz
P320 40 4 pounds 2 oz after Apex upgrade from a CGW FCG which had a considerably worse trigger than the stock P320

Bought through consignment 10 day wait.

The Dynamic Performance trigger is amazing. I have one in my PPQ. If you are a confident shooter who likes crisp breaks and short resets, it is a night and day difference.

I think you should shoot it and get some things you can actually measure before swapping parts out: 10-10-10's, No-Fails, 5 Yard Round Up, 3-2-1, and some regular bullseye shooting. The PDP has a great stock trigger, similar to how an Overwatch TAC feels in a Glock (somewhat pronounced wall but a pretty crisp and light break). I'd run the gun hard and wouldn't go changing things unless you have a very solid preference on how you want a trigger to feel. As they are you should be able to run bill drills no issue with them. Some people prefer having a very distinct take-up and wall for bullseye, I don't particularly care with how I mentally visualize shooting.

This is great .. thank you everyone.

While there are a few schools of thought out there - allowing the trigger to push out does not maximize performance, ie., inefficient trigger control, that can actually degrade speed and accuracy.

For a Glock OEM trigger - ideally, you shouldn't be feeling the trigger pushing out. By the time the gun returns from recoil, the trigger has already been prepped and ready to fire (again, the instant the gun "returns" from recoil).
