And now, they're grasping at straws as far as the marketing BS goes:
Developed by Walther to provide a premium, yet functional grip, the Performance Duty Texture provides an aggressive surface to maintain proper grip performance. With its tetrahedron design, it is non-abrasive so there will be no irritation to the skin or clothing of the user.
Walther has pushed the boundaries of testing in some of the harshest conditions to endure this pattern is READY when you are. Whether it’s torrential rainfall, extreme heat, and humidity, icy cold temperatures, or thick mud, the Performance Duty Texture of the PDP will help you be READY when it’s imperative you have the perfect grip.
"Performance Duty Texture?" Seriously? And shouldn't it go without saying that a "premium" grip (whatever that is) should be more than "yet functional?" "Tetrahedron?" Is this what the manufacturers are reduced to? They lost me at snakeskin and "adaptive" grip technology... For the love of all that's holy, the marketing guys need to just stop... this stuff is getting so over-the-top, it's all meaningless. "Pushed the boundaries of testing" -- sheesh, I couldn't bring myself to spend money on one of their new pistols as the hyperbole is so mind-numbing and gag-inducing.
Sorry, Walther fans.
