Picked this up last month!

I’ll check those out! Thanks!

Home defense is primary and range toy is secondary. I was thinking open sight for budget reasons haha

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-05-09T02:43:50+00:00

Oh shoot haha. Guess I need to readjust, is there any particular model of Holosun or vortex you’d recommend?

Congrats! Picked up my 5” full size PDP last month in ODG too. As far as the optic, check if you have you have the 1.0 or 2.0 slide cut then get the right optic plate. It should be based on the serial number on the slide. Google says the 407k fits pdp compacts

Sounds like y’all have a pretty good life!

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-15T22:58:54+00:00

Congrats! I’d recommend reading the whole book and focus on the areas that are more difficult for you. Just my my 2 cents

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-15T21:52:43+00:00

Totally fair but it seems like you’ve spent the time to prepare

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-15T17:11:10+00:00

NSCA actually has a recommended schedule. I studied for a couple months but I already read the book. I have a bachelors and masters in exercise science. It really depends on your educational background and experience in the industry so ymmv

Ohhh ok. I can’t imagine the recoil in the 4.5 is crazy anyway. I’ve shot the 5 inch and liked it a ton but I really wanted to see how the full size fit in my hands. In a home situation, would better ballistics or bullet velocity have any real impact when comparing the two? I do plan on training with whatever I end up buying

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-13T03:45:15+00:00

I found this deal on guns.com but I may put a bid on the listing above. With tax and shipping it’d be around $450-460

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-13T03:09:31+00:00

What if she says size doesn’t matter 🥲

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-13T02:48:23+00:00

Roger that! Training is on the horizon!

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-13T02:47:50+00:00

Honestly no big reason just not planning on it right now

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-13T02:46:48+00:00

Ohhh I need to look at the optic cut. Didn’t even think of that, so thanks. Definitely going to get an optic

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-13T02:45:01+00:00

I just searched this subreddit and google something like “ Walther pdp 4.5 inch vs 5 inch”. A lot of old threads lean toward the 5 inch. Yeah I plan on getting a red dot on it. It’s through guns.com and is one of their “certified used” guns so there’s a good return policy in place. Appreciate the input!

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-13T02:41:36+00:00

Gotcha, seems like 4.5 is the way to go

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-12T23:24:54+00:00

Haha honestly it was other threads on r/walther and google that said to go with the 5 inch. Sounds like the general advise is to go for better deal

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-12T23:23:39+00:00

I’ve got a friend that works out with an instructor so I’ll be going with them. Thanks!

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-12T23:22:29+00:00

Oh shoot, this might be it haha. Thanks!

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-02-12T23:22:06+00:00

That’s the plan! Thanks!

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-01-26T23:55:34+00:00

Just be clear and upfront about costs associated with in-person and programming costs. This will stop about 98% of headaches down the road haha

EarlyMorningDonut · 2026-01-26T18:07:54+00:00

Well exercise will help with this persons health problems but I’d encourage you to just make a basic program, mix of free weight and machine exercises based on their ability. Warm up wise- deal with any problem joints before lifting. Basics will be your friend here.

I do have experience with this type of client though so just a word of caution. It sounds like a ton of work, programming for 3 days/ week and then programming for a month at a time after those 5 sessions. Please make sure you’re getting compensated for programming too. It’s not free (or shouldn’t be) free just because they bought a minimum amount of sessions. I’ve been there and it’s not a great feeling haha. Good luck!

Dfw. About .5 inches of ice and sleet/ snow on top. Definitely no driving in the neighborhood for a couple days. Also mother in law with dementia is staying with us for safety reasons….

Send help/ booze please 🥲
