I was being facetious before, but aside from the aesthetics, the PDP might have the best out-of-the-box trigger of any polymer handgun I’ve shot. It’s better than most of the trigger upgrades that I’ve put in other handguns! The sights are just ok and the whole optic plate thing isn’t quite as slick as it could be (most aren’t), but it’s a great gun for the money.
The trigger is super nice. If I had to rank all of my pistols by how good the factory trigger is, it would be in the top 3. My Canik elite combat is right up there and surprisingly, so is the m&p shield plus (albeit a distant 3rd). Mag costs online for the F were on par with similar pistols like M&Ps, HKs, etc. Factory sights are complete junk.
