I see... In answer to your question, I have been shooting a pair of Unique DES 69 for 25 years and never had any issue. My two boys now shoot them. By the way, this is NOT a Walther bashing session. I love the GSP and I am just back from the range, testing various ammo for the .22 top. So far, mine ...

Thanks FredB, your knowledge is much appreciated. To try to bring closure on this issue, it seems that you too had to “fix” your GSPs / OSP. It is very clear from your post that you had to shim your front sights. Assumedly, you would not have done it if you had been able to adjust your rear sights l...
