The Walther GSP, Gebrauchs Sportpistole (Sport Pistol for Standard Use), is a semi automatic, precision targetshooting pistol with an unlocked breech action made in Germany by Walther Sportwaffen. It has the same technical base as the Walther OSP and thus is almost identical in outward appearance, albeit slightly longer and heavier than the OSP.
The GSP was introduced on the world market in 1968 and was chambered for .22 Long Rifle. At the end of 1971, Walther began offering the pistol in .32 S&W. Regardless of its original caliber, conversion units for the other caliber are available and easily interchangeable.[citation needed] The anatomical, adjustable walnut grips were also available, on order from Walther, for left-handed shooters. In 1988, Walther introduced a fully adjustable (for pull, stop, and angle) two-stage trigger that athletes could retrofit their pistols with.
