I have a P229 Legion, Elite Dark, Elite Scorpion and Elite Stainless. Love these guns. I have Sig Pro 1 on 2 of them when I purchased an optic ready slide from Sig. I also have a threaded barrel, Sig suppressor Xray sights, and a Streamlight TLR-8AG light/green laser on 3 of them. Going to have the slide milled on the Scorpion by Grayguns. Then, I considering the Grayguns upgrade to improve the DA/SA pull with a flat trigger. Go Sig!

I recently acquired the optics ready Cerakote version of this gun. For me, the only downside is the tiny slide release lever. It carries fine IWB, it’s crazy accurate, the recoil is very minimal. I see the DA/SA to be a huge safety feature.

I just bought one. Love it.

When they offered this with the optic cut I got one. It's so smooth to shoot compared to my 19 or micro 9 pistols. I carry it. It's worth the weight. I also picked up the P220 Legion. It's a hoot.

I have never heard anyone that owns a shotgun say that they believe you don't need to aim a shotgun. that racking will scare an intruder or that shotguns are simple to run. Rather the myth is some people believe that some people believe these things.

Great presentation! Thx!

I’m getting the P229 pro cut

Great video just subscribed!

Still worth the huge price tag a couple years later? Thinking about upgrading to carry this but hard to spend the cash!

great review, thanks and keep up the good work

I have the 226 and the 229. One thing I like about the DA/SA is the hammer. This is a safety feature. I feel like if you drop or jostle a striker fired pistol it is more likely to have a misfire vs a hammer. On the P229 and 226 if the gun is in double action and you push the hammer toward the firing pin with your finger you will notice it has a stop mechanism to protect the firing pin. The first pull is a long pull and takes 11 pounds pressure, so an accidental pull of the trigger takes a lot of effort to misfire vs dropping a striker fired pistol at the wrong angle. The best safety in my armature opinion is a DA/SA with a safety or SAO with a safety. Overall, I think the gun is a great design. I know often times the Glock is the benchmark. The Glock is a good gun. Competition in the market is fierce so most of the guns are good. However, I like the added weight for recoil control especially being a new shooter. I feel the extra weight is good to train with as it helps engage and train the muscle groups need to be a good shooter. Guns like these also retain their value better as metal is a more expensive market than plastic.

Interesting that you bring up the "Legion" marketing. It is a bit cheesy but stop and think about it. What is not cool about it. People who think it's not cool are not allowing themselves to have fun and subconsciously trying to be cool. It's a common problem with people in general these days. The too cool for school attitude. I love the tribute to the army. I think it is super cool and a sign of respect to the greatest military the world has ever seen. The same military that is responsible in many ways for the luxury's we enjoy as Americans. You should take pride in this yourself and the things you do in life and you should take pride in what that symbol represents. Thank you to all the veterans who have served this great country.

Super well made gun❤

I agree with you about the slide catch. It's too small to manipulate easily. I'm going to see if I can install the regular P229 slide catch. Some say it won't fit, but I'm going to try. I also agree with you about the whole Legion brand. It's silly. I haven't even bothered to get my soft case and challenge coin. Challenge coin, LOL!

thanks for the vid fam, might b down for a legion

The PDP is one of those guns, where when you're shooting for accuracy, it's one of the best guns on the market...but the faster I try to go, the more I find that I don't mesh with it super well. I just shoot other pistols faster, and with less effort. This isn't saying that I can't shoot the PDP quickly, I definitely can, but I find that I have to concentrate harder on hitting all my bases than I do with say Glock, Smith, or CZ (don't even get me started on 1911's). I don't know if I will sell my PDP...part of me wants to just hold onto it as it's been a staple on my kit for the past 2 years. The other part of me just wants to bid it farewell, and move on to Smith or CZ.

I have one on order with red dot and light. I am thinking bedside gun and fun range gun

Great video! Would you recommend this gun for someone who has medium glove sized hands?

Amazing review!

Good shooting

---Cool.....I Carried Sig....(a Former Houston Police Department Officer,)

Is that the compact? I have a PPQ and I can use the same magazines in that.

how does the size compare to the glock 19?

Is this gun still your EDC?

Own a pdp 5in full size in odgreen and 4in compact and a ppq m2 navy they all have been fantastic. I don’t notice the recoil, I've shoot and carry a gen3 g27 , g23 and g35. Great video.

I got the 4” compact. My favorite piece from my handgun collection.

Nice review! I chose the CZ P10C over the PDP after hearing how snappy the PDP is.

Getting this gun is it worth 1400 new lol

Great vid dude! Agree on the slide catch and finish I own this and an elite dark and prefer the old one That being said this one ain’t going anywhere

Just picked mines up and I'm so excited, I don't feel compromised in any way. It's basically ready out the box, also took advantage of the Free Red dot deal. I through my streamlight TLR7A and waiting for my armzmen holster to come in can't wait try it at the range. Thanks for the review😂

I have the F and the Compact . It's a great line. I'm hoping they will come out with a high capacity micro 9.

I see you have a new channel. Stick with it. Your doing a good job. Just don’t get bought ! Thanks , I’m subscribing.

I was blown away when this pistol came out. I watched all the videos and had to buy one. This is my absolute favorite pistol I own, and I have a few, lol. I have really big hands, so I went with the full-size grip. I put the 508T on top as well and put a Floyds Custome magwell and a TLR7A on it. I feel like this gun was made for my hands. This is my service pistol for work and shoot it a lot. It's return to zero is incredibly fast and easy. I love this gun.

Are you planning on modifying your PDP for the recoil impulse? I hear adding a light or changing out the guide rod can help a little.

Is that the 4.5 with the compact grip

Nice review! Sounds like a double click on the trigger reset?

A comment from the country of origin of the PDP, from Germany, which I have already written about other PDP videos: As long as there is no version of the PDP with a manual safety, the PDP is just another unsafe pre-cocked striker-fired pistol with the inherent danger of getting a so-called "Glock leg" (this term is now also known in Germany = shot in your own leg) when putting the pistol back in the holster and something is unnoticed in the trigger guard in front of the trigger or your finger is carelessly on the trigger, no matter where and how you wear the holster. But if you activate a manual safety on the pistol before putting it back, that's impossible. Because of the danger just described, many other manufacturers now offer a version with a manual safety for their striker-fired pistols. Unfortunately, this is not the case with any newer Walther model, which is being criticized more and more, at least here in the country of origin and in Europe as well. Personally, I would not buy any of the newer current striker-fired Walther pistols such as the PPQ, PPS or PDP and also advise against a purchase for the reason described above. The only exception would be a P99 with the de-cocking button or with a DAO trigger.

Per Walther the PDP is a little snappier due to having a stepped chamber. With this design regular 9mm ammo gains about 50ft per second more velocity out of the same barrel length vs it’s competitors.

Why you make this gun look so big. Not trying to be mean i just thought that pistol was bigger

I'm still cracking up over the Tiny Baby Hands and Hobbit Hands comments. 😂 Been watching lots of reviews of PDP Compact. I appreciate how candid you are about the cons and sprinkle in that dry humor.

To address snappiness my thinking is either a heavier recoil spring guide or metal back strap.

I wear medium size gloves (size 8). What size are your hands so I can gauge how large this gun is? Thanks.

Thanks-- nice review, as always. You mentioned it's snappier than other guns in its class: what specific striker fired guns would you say are softer shooters by comparison, and which model did you shoot-- the 4", 4.5", or 5" barrel? I would be curious to see this gun reviewed side by side with one of the Canik elite series models, since both this gun and the Caniks come with some of the best striker fired triggers out of the box.

I prefer my W. German made P229

Hate that the finish messed up, I've heard they changed the finish after so many complaints about the first coating, also they now provide optic ready versions so yay to that

Instead of playing that incessant infernal racket of so called music, couldn't you have played somthing like club tropicana by wham instead?

I like your channel. Put your notes next to the camera so you don't have to look down. Subbed!

The one with the green optic are those height sights on the front and back?

Can’t go wrong with scorpion. I’ve had mine for almost 4 years and still no hiccups! I have made several upgrades though…. Trigger, grip, safety and charging handle. Great video! Just sub’d.
