Can someone give me the length of a GSP barrel please?

Depends Greg. The 22 barrel is 115mm, while the .32 barrel is 107. At least that was the old versions. I think the newer "Expert" versions have the same length, probably 115 mm to judge from the shrouds.

They have varied over the years which is why, in the early 1980s, several guns (including mine) had a sight radius over that allowed by the ISSF rules (220mm).

According to their web, the barrel is 115 mm for .22lr. and the sight radius is 220 mm.

One thing that I notice between GSP and GSP Expert is the locations of the sights. For GSP the front sight is further at the front and the rear is about 1 1/2 inch from the real on the frame. For GSP Expert, both have been placed a bit backwards. Does this design make any improvement in aiming is something I don't know.
