Dunno whether the accuracy comes from the locking wedge or superb barrels.
This P-88 group was shot at 25 yards, rested, with the flyer a different load of powder. Small is beautiful The P-88 may not be as neat looking as a standard 1911, but it sure is the equal (or better) of some of the 1911's with all that Go-Fast stuff . I like the ambi mag release, and the ambi slide release is good for lefties, or weak hand shooting.

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.
