Favorite load is 3.7-3.8 of N320 with my DG 125TC or Purple Plate Buster 125TC. Pretty soft shooting.

Just wondering if anyone has their own personal review/opinion on using the PDP. Can't seem to find them around here. I've read conflicting things about the future of the PPQ line, as well, based on the PDP introduction.
Lots of activity/discussion/opinions on Walther Forums https://www.waltherforums.com/forums/
I have the full size 4.5" and love it. 508T installed on it. The grip is fantastic, longer 18 round grip better for competition in my opinion. Trigger great as usual. Unfortunately 18 round magazines are no where to be found - a failing by Walther. Don't count on finding any. However, if you have a Canik TP9SFX/TP9SF/TP9SFT the 18 round mags DO work in the full size frame.
Just bought a 4" Compact, looking forward to getting it. It will replace my 4" PPQs. Uses same mags as PPQ M2, PPQ Q4/Q5/SF.
PPQ is still in the line, but focused on Q4 and Q5. Standard will be phased out.
PPQ SF still in the line, have to think they are looking at larger frame version in the near future.
2021 is last year of production for P99 and they will disappear after this year.

DG Bullets sells a 125 CN BB NLG bullet. I know you asked for 124 but just thought I would put this out there.
This is a great bullet and my favorite.

Ordered 1K and loaded some up. Will try them on Monday and see how they shoot. Thanks for the tip and info.

How much are they and is there a Eno's or other discount ?
I like that profile.

Will check it out next week when I get mine

It does NOT use any PPQ mags. It uses a "PPQ Style" mag made for the EDC-X9 by Mecgar who also make the PPQ mags.
They are not interchangeable (unless you want to take a dremel tool to them).

If you have never shot an IDPA match before, let alone any competition, then an aftermarket trigger or sights will make no difference. What you need is the fundamentals: stance, grip, sight picture and trigger control.
Any, and all Glock models, are legal for SSP in IDPA.
Except the 17L as it won't fit in the box
It's 9.57 inches long and the box is 8 3/4 long.

When I bought mine, there were not a lot of good premium options, GMR-15 wasn't out, CK Arms, CMMG, not out yet. And yes I like Wilson Combat stuff.
My bolt-hold-open lever broke in the first 200 rounds, they replaced it and it has run like a top since, as long as I use ammo it likes. The one factory ammo I've found it DOESN'T like for sure is the Winchester 147gr T&D ammo. Can't use puny 115gr/124gr ammo, but it shoots pretty much all other factory ammo fine. Other than that, I'm still loving mine, refuse to take a bath trying to sell it, so I shoot it at any major matches I go to. My go to load now is the Gallant 125gr RN bullet under 3.8 N320, 1.155 OAL. Low recoil and runs great.
I wouldn't buy it today - there ARE better options, although I'm not convinced the GMR-15 is the best.

A fellow CTASA shooter has a CMC flat Trigger drop-in in his and has had no issues after replacing the firing pin retaining pin (one piece) and firing pin spring with the new parts they will send you if you have the older cotter pin and two springs on the firing pin.
I simply replaced the hammer and trigger springs with JP springs and it improved mine enough to satisfy me. I replaced a fellow members springs on his with JP and he's happy too.
Didn't feel like dropping in a $100-200 trigger in a $550 AR

I love the H&S 125gr RN bullets, they are the only coated ones I would buy anymore. They run great in my SP01 CZ Custom Shadow (Stock) and my Phantom. I do have to load to 1.085-1.09 OAL to pass plunk test. Interestingly enough, I loaded some in my "old" Wilson Combat 9mm CQB and I can load out to 1.14 in it, and they are superbly accurate. That OAL will not run in my other Wilson full size 9mm guns. My favorite load is 4.1 of WSF in the CQB which gives me about 129 PF. 4.2 for the CZs and my PPQ to make PF.
I've switched to plated now so won't be shooting coated, unless they run another Black Friday sale in November like I bought the last batch for right around .06 each

Define "Break the bank"?
Basically any Commander slide on an Officer's Frame would be legal.
Magwells added will have to not add too much to stay within the 5 3/8" height limit.
Colt CCO
Dan Wesson CCO
Just search for "CCO 9mm" on GunBroker, you'll see lots of options.

Here is the response from JP. Hope this helps others too. I filled mine with JBWeld epoxi.
"The whole you are talking about only purpose is weight reduction. It can be filled in with an epoxy or some sort of plastic plug. Let me know if you have any other questions."Really? JP tech doesn't know how to spell "hole"?
Interesting as my friend who just got his GMR-15 called them about this "issue" and they told him "we've never heard of this issue from anyone".
Hmm.
Can you tell us exactly what sort of "magazine missfeed" you had that led to this issue you had?

Arredondo extentions (+5) do NOT work with stock Glock 33 round mag springs (not for me).
Had to get Taylor Freelance extended springs for 41+ mags to run with those.
Taylor Freelance 41+ with the included spring works great with Glock 33 mags.

Matt has been shooting L10
You are right I made a bad assumption.
He was shooting Limited according to results.

Matt Hopkins said that he was planning on shooting Shadow 2 this season. Looks like he was expecting the gun to be added to the list in time. I hope he was correct
He DID shoot it at Cowtown last weekend. I ran him on stage 2. Hmm, so the Shadow 2 was NOT on Production list - But our MD gave him a pass I guess

147s didn't have as much snap as the 115s and 124s. Definitely lighter.

My experience with your favorite Winchester 147gr Train and Defend FMJ TC ammo in my Wilson AR9G carbine was disasterous at the USPSA Cowtown match this weekend.
Worked fine on the bench, superb accuracy.
Won't work reliably under rapid fire. My experience. My gun. Only ammo I've found so far that won't work reliably.
FYI, YMMV.
Thanks for all the Chrony info though, it's interesting. BTW, the T&D 147gr ammo only chrono'd at about 980fps in my Wilson.

Well, learned a hard lesson at the USPSA Cowtown Match over this weekend about assuming too much about ammo selection and reliability.
I have never had any failures of any kind with a multitude of ammo I've fired through my AR9G. With standard Glock mags or Glock 17 mags with Arredondo extensions. Once I got Taylor Freelance springs and the 41 extension, I've never had a failure with any ammo using those also.
So I have typically shot 124gr FMJ ammo previously when using my AR9G at matches, but decided to try some 147gr when I zero'd my Trijicon MRO for this match. They all worked great on the bench and were very accurate. I settled on the Winchester Train and Defend 147gr TC FMJ ammo because it was superbly accurate (5 shots covered by a nickle at 22 yds).
First stage at Cowtown, 41 mag loaded up with this ammo and it was disastrous. Bang Bang jam, clear, bang bang jam, clear, bang bang jam - shot the entire stage that way. Well crap, maybe that mag is bad (never failed before). Changed mags for stage 2. Same thing - bang bang jam etc. Well my match is ruined now - great. So I bummed some 115gr factory ammo off of friends (CCI Blazer Aluminum, Aguilla 115gr and Winchester 115gr White Box). Hmm, no more problems. (Another lesson learned ALWAYS HAVE FACTORY AMMO backup for full round count at matches + 50)
Who would have guessed? FACTORY 147gr Winchester ammo was not satisfactory to run my AR9G. Lesson learned. Test ALL ammo to be used by doing a full mag dump as fast as you can pull the trigger or don't use it. Never assume, just because it fires fine when target shooting it will work in a match.
That ammo chrono'd at the match at just under 1000 fps. Out of my 14.7" AR9G, so it is truly puny. Box advertises 950 fps at the muzzle for a pistol.
Now it's relegated to my Walther PPQ
The upside was getting to say Hi to Mandy, complaining she didn't bring an EDC X9 for me to try, but promising to bring one to Texas State in 3 weeks.

I have had the WIlson Combat AR9G 14.7" Fluted Barrel PCC for a couple of months now. Initially I had some issues with G33 mags with Aredondo extensions which I finally traced to a weak spring in the 33 rounders. Not enough when you add the extension. Since installing Taylor Freelance extended springs I've had no issues with premature lock back or failures to feed. I've recently also got the TF 41+ extension and it has worked great too. Works flawless with G17 and Aredondo extensions (24 rounds).
Very accurate, trigger is GREAT (despite reports otherwise). I've tried 3 optics on it, Bushnell TRS25, Holosun 515C (C stands for CRAP), and have settled on a Trijicon MRO.
Got my "B" classification with it at our last USPSA Classifier match. Will be shooting it at Cowtown USPSA in Cresson in 2 weeks battling against the JP GMR-13 guys and a Tavor 9mm shooters (local shooters). We'll see who comes out on top

Does the Springfield EMP4 fit into the CCP box/allowed size parameters?
They pretty much eliminated MOST ALL Commander size 1911s from CCP With the new 5 3/8" height restriction.
You MIGHT be able to get it to fit if you shaved the mag base plates off flush. The EMP 4 lists a 5 1/2" height, so it's 1/8" too tall with the magazine.My Wilson Combat Lightweight Professional 9mm (which I bought in September 2015), along with the Wilson Combat ULC Carry Professional (touted as the perfect CCP gun in 2015/2016) are both now illegal for CCP with the standard magwell and magazines/floorplates because they are too tall. If you remove the magwell and use flat mag floor plates they might fit.
