About
What it is, and why it matters
The Walther CSP Dynamic is a .22 Long Rifle semi-automatic sport pistol built for dynamic and action shooting disciplines such as IPSC and IDPA-style rimfire competition. Part of Carl Walther's Classic Sports Pistol (CSP) family, it uses a forged-steel frame and slide with a Tenifer QPQ finish, a 150 mm conventionally rifled barrel, an adjustable match trigger, and an extended ambidextrous walnut grip. An integrated 11 mm prism rail lets shooters mount a red dot optic, and its micrometer rear sight and adjustable front sight support precise iron-sight shooting.
The CSP family draws on the lineage of Walther's Olympia sport pistols, whose 1936 Olympic-era design established the eccentric single-sided recoil spring layout still echoed in the modern CSP.
The CSP line replaced the earlier Hämmerli X-Esse pistols. Its design borrows features from Walther's 1936 Olympic pistol, including a single-sided recoil spring mounted eccentrically to the barrel.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
