Re: Long or compact
longer sight line = larger sight alignment difference for the same alignment error = easier to notice small alignment errors = better. AND longer pistol = more mass at the front = more inertia = less front sight jitter. There's a reason why the distance between the front and rear sights are one of t...

Re: GSP500
so the SSP is/was a failure? the design is nonredeemable? Unfortunately no, I don't think it's redeemable the way Walther would like it to be. Then again, we need to consider the context - it's a perfectly fine target pistol and if you're not shooting ISSF rapid fire, it's arguably a competitive/su...

Re: trigger pull and accuracy
just as a general principle: lower trigger weight = less muscle work = fewer unwanted movements /shaking If you're putting two equally skilled shooters using the same gun against eachother but you give one of them a 500g trigger and the other a 1000g trigger, the former will usually outscore the lat...

It was Walther's attempt at maxing out the ruleset using unorthodox design decisions (e.g. a 153mm barrel where the Pardini...

Re: GSP500
Grip is detachable (but no mention if it is adjustable for rake or angle) and frame is a single piece Not adjustable in any dimension as per German articles. https://www.all4shooters.com/de/shooting/kurzwaffen/walther-sportpistole-gsp500-weltpremiere/ Honestly it's a bit of a letdown just going by ...

Re: Technique, goals & reality.
The lateral and vertical deviation caused by you pulling the trigger can be reduced below the point where it becomes indistinguishable from your natural wobble and the rest of it can approximately be accounted for by pulling the trigger the same way every time (which should in theory lead to the sam...
