[QUOTE="Veritas, post: 4167731, member: 55012"] I was super excited when the PDP came out and bought one because I loved my VP9 and new Walther made great guns. However, I was disappointed to see despite being built from the ground up to take a red dot they had no physical optic lugs which even by 2018 had become common knowledge as the right thing. Walther put out a full court press to say mounting screws were enough but anyone with a basic physics education or experience running guns hgard knew this wasn't true. When they released the second generation of the gun shortly after they quietly added those physical lugs. When I called customer service to see about swapping out my slide they tried to claim there wasn't really a need for them, they just spent the time and expense to add what every single other modern red dot pistol had for fun I guess. This caused me to loss A LOT of respect for them and that gun sits in my safe untouched after perhaps less than 500 rounds through it. The other issue was for at least 8 months after the full sized was released you could not buy any additional magazines for it. That's a poor product launch but it's all well and good, I've moved on from polymer striker fired guns. But still an expensive debacle for me for sure and a reminder why you should never jump on a brand new gun design even from a trusted maker until people that know what they are doing have time to review and test it in depth.
