The springers won’t be 140mm with the 18rd mag. Those are made for the 15rd mags. Taylor Freelance is the ONLY game in town at the moment for the 18rd mags to be 140 compliant.

And what plate for for 509? Standard Apex for PPQ. I tried the Walther DPT and it was actually WORSE than the stock trigger. Shorter for sure… but heavy! The Apex cut a few oz and shortened things up satisfactorily. I’m running the Walther RMR plate and the included RMR adapter plate that came with the 509. Not ideal… but it’s worked so far. Only around 2000 rounds on the setup. Would have gotten a C&H by now.. to remove a few screws from the equation, but have heard HORRIBLE things about the QC as of late.

Lightj75 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I'm surprised to see you say that about the DPT mine is great short reset hardly any over travel and a 3.25# pull I usually shoot a CZ but I have been really impressed with the Walther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 3.5# pull from the box. Just long take up and reset. The DPT took it to over 4#. This was confirm by walther tech. Shorter, but heavier pull.

I also got mine set up for competition by a Walther tech to be as good as it good be I probably couldnt have got it where it is without intimate knowledge of how it works which I just don't have yet. I've been impressed with it so far and can't wait to put alot of rounds through it after this competition season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-mishka Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 For those who run canik mags in pdp, are basepads interchangeable between pdp and canik mags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fit the mags fine… the problem is with the retention method. Most canik basepads have a screw or a pin in the rear. This hits the low hanging part of the PDP backstrap. Only the TF basepads work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-mishka Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 @Dirty_J which guide rod do you use in your 5” pdp. My Redhill tactical holster finally arrives this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Redhill tactical holster finally arrives this weekend I have the ZR Tactical guide rod. I would seek another option if I had to do it over again. They only offer one length… and it’s a mofo to get an uncaptured spring mounted on the 5” slide. Basically requires a tool inserted from the front to keep the spring aligned with the rod for its length. If it were just a bit longer it would be a non-issue.

Dirty_J Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I actually ran a buddys Canik DPM in my PDP for a bit. Worked fine. Decided I just wanted a normal spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can use a full length guide rod for an M&P as well. I am running a tungsten full length guide rod from Speed Shooters Specialties that I bought many years ago. I used it in my 5" ppq for almost 2 seasons prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohsevenflhx Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) I am using a couple of these. They are plus 2's but will get you to 20 rounds and under 140mm. Inexpensive, uses stock spring and nice fit. https://mec-gar.com/shop/upgrade-parts/pads/plus-2-adapter-set/ I did have to belt sand the pad a bit for the magazine to engage.
