Walther P22 .22LR Pistol - 3.5" or 5" Target Barrel?

$230 vs $280. There's a cost difference of $50 between these two models. Which one should I get? Anyone compared the accuracies of both models?

It looks more "normal" with 3.5", but the target 5" sure looks unique too. I'm torn.

I saw this .22 at the SHOT show. It has a very small grip and a pretty bad trigger. Check it out before you buy.

I don't think it's a target pistol at all.
but if still want to buy one, go with 5" barrel
- better chance to hit something jsut because
of longer sight radius.

Agree with Oris.

Own a 5" Walther P22. It is at best a fun plinker only. The poor trigger will never allow it to become a serious target pistol. Std. Ruger and Browning pistols would be a much better place for someone interested in target shooting to start.

The rear sight of the 5" version I've seen has a really wide U-shaped notch so much so that there's room for at least 2 more front sight blades to fit in!! And yes, the trigger is far too heavy for it to be a target pistol.
I do like its look though
