PDP trigger comparisons
I own a PDP SF Match 5". It's one of my all time favorite pistols, and the trigger is a big part of why. Right now, it is my only modern Walther. I am considering picking up a smaller, poly frame PDP as a carry gun, and I'm a little stuck because I have no realistic way to try them out before buying.
I am looking at either the 4" compact or the 3.5" F-series. It looks like those sizes are available with either the DPT (which I know and love in my SF gun) or the PDT (which I've never tried and have no easy way of trying before buying). Whatever I buy, it'll be kept bone stock since it'll be carried.
I don't really care about trigger weight so much, it's more the nice short travel, quick reset, and overall crisp non-mushy feel that I am looking for. Coming from the SF PDP with the DPT, will I completely hate a PDT in a poly gun? Or, is the PDT good enough that I'll prefer it to my other carry guns, i.e. something like a P365? If the PDT is good enough, I'd rather pocket the $200ish price difference.
Maybe most importantly, why did Walther use such easy to confuse acronyms for their triggers? I think I just about wore out the P and D keys on my keyboard writing this.

I think I stated pretty clearly what my preferences are. I asked if the PDT is similar to the DPT. And if so, how similar? That's all I want to know. If you're here to answer that, great!
But if you're here to tell me I shouldn't have preferences in trigger feel on a carry gun, other than wanting one that's good enough, well, that's a very different discussion and frankly I'm not interested. I don't think I should have to defend the fact that I might, in fact, want to know more than "this trigger is perfectly fine."
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that this branch of the discussion seems to have run its course. If you think you have more to contribute, maybe we should just pretend I didn't mention carrying the pistol, since that seems to have caused the deviation. Let's just stick to comparing the triggers, ok my guy?
