I'm not sure what the wedge system used in the P38 and P5 (and Berettas) is properly called either. (Maybe Elmer can tell us?) I truly believe that this moving barrel/wedge blocking system adds to the pistol's accuracy because the action is linear.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Because of the P38-like system (non-Browning), the short barrel proved surprisingly accurate. Oh this is an interesting turn of the conversation. |
Do you really think that was the reason for high accuracy, the Walther Wedge, or whatever the locking system is actually called? 
I am short on knowledge here and don't really know what they do call the locking system used on the P38 and its offspring, and adopted by Beretta as well. I have no personal experience with any of the Walthers, but I know the Beretta 92 is reputed to be quite accurate. Kim's M92 was a very accurate pistol, as he just remarked on the phone a day or two ago.
