Majic-
This is true. That's why if someone is asking about a .22 that is multi-purpose; competition, plinking, small game hunting, training noobs, etc. I always recommend the M41.
I love the Walther GSP, as well as the guns made by Pardini and Hämmerli, but I wouldn't ever recommend one to someone who's looking for an all-around range gun that would also serve them well in the occasional pistol match.
Even though the M41 could be considered an entry-level pistol, plenty of people have made Master with them.
