The serrations make the PDP look like an illegitimate love child of a Beretta APX and a PPQ. I’m wondering if you could put the PDP slide on a PPQ frame.

Nope.
Check PDP compatibility link above, posted by @Brad
Enough of all this New Walther nonsense! The peer pressure is pushing me to purchase another! Lol

Go the Waltherarms.com and see the new model PDP, also you can register for a PDP drawing. I have had a PPK/S and currently own a PPS LE. I looks like the PDP will sell for around 750.00
The last half of the video are drills, the guys from Walther do go over what they have done to improve on this model.

It’s a cool gun. I’m intrigued, but I have zero reason to ditch my m&p for one.

I agree, but I chose to purchase a 1911 instead. I will wait a while for the Walther.

I don’t want to say “don’t waste the money”… but this PDP shoots the same as M&P9 with Apex trigger. (I think I’ve said it already… 
)
Apex Trigger + Sear set costs $165, so 3,5 times less

Which one?
Smith is supposed to announce a gun(s) in March. I want to see .
A $600 gun is really a 1,000 after buying a good holster, changing sights (though more guns around $600 are starting to come with nice sights) a couple spare mags, plus ammo to ensure reliability.

I handled a PDP up today. It’s really nice. Wouldn’t blame anybody for picking one up.

Oooooh. We want pics! And a 10,000 word in depth review!
Or maybe just to say congratulations.

So you’re selling your S&W?
I have got to stop doing that 
. I meant I handled it at the store. My brain in the evenings is mush (If not always)

Oh. Sadness. My apologies for misunderstanding.

So, I handled a PDP full size in Roswell Sunday.
It is the lightest gun I have ever handled. That worries me a bit. I suspect they count on that 18 round magazine eating up the recoil, instead of the gun itself.
The texturing feels almost sharp. I don’t think it would actually hurt to shoot, but I do think it’ll be hard to drop it accidentally. I have felt guns that I think would hurt to shoot because of their texturing, and the PDP is almost there, but not quite.
The lack of finger grooves on the front of the grip was something I thought might reduce the ergonomics, but it really doesn’t. In fact, with the new texturing, finger grooves might actually be painful to ungloved hands.
Also, in person, the gun is even uglier than it is on Youtube. Stylishness doesn’t really matter on a weapon, but the PPQ is a nice, graceful looking firearm, while the PDP is pure performance. A more comfortable Glock. And remember: holding a Glock is like holding a Block.
So, basically, I’m where I was before. I think I want one, but I want to shoot it before I decide I’d rather have a PDP over a PPQ.

Great info @LordDeinonychus . PDP has a great advertisement and looking at the gun I’d be able to spend all my money on it. But reading the posts like yours made me thinking twice.
I was positively surprised with PPQ. I loved it.
I bought CZ P-01 because it was suggested as the best pistol ever… and I liked it for few months.
I eventually ended up with M&P9 (I have never found good ad for this model) and with some adjustments I don’t see any polymer handgun which can be even close to this one. And I’m glad PDP is still not better than M&P9 
I do note that I always sound more negative than I mean to. I have a tendency to try and find what is wrong with something, and decide if the cons are outweighed. I do have an overwhelmingly positive feeling about the firearm.
I am glad to be helpful, though. I just am the worst reviewer ever.

Actually, I just looked it up, and the PDP is very slightly heavier than a PPQ. When I picked it up, it felt so much lighter, but it’s not. Not sure why.
I picked one up and it did feel pretty light to me. I’ve never held a ppq though.
My interest died pretty fast. I was just excited about a new gun coming out 
.
I would like to try the trigger, but I’m not interested in trigger pulls lighter than 5ibs for self defense.
