This video explores the Walther Experimental Hybrid Olympia/Woodsman, a prototype designed to test the appeal of a steeper grip angle (55.5 degrees) inspired by the Colt Woodsman, in contrast to the standard Walther Olympia's 75-degree angle. Expert Ian McCollum details the prototype's features, including modular barrel weights and a heel magazine release, and discusses Walther's decision not to adopt this ergonomic change for production. The analysis highlights the competitive landscape of 1930s target pistols and the rigorous testing manufacturers employed.
