The rifle in carl-walther.com that matches 2863928M is your bread and butter KK500 Expert. No electronic trigger, no special (green) pigment to the wood parts, a standard weight barrel and not the anatomic stock.

If you provide a link to the page in waltherarms.com I/we can look and see if there is anything different. Bottom line though, if the description is KK500 Expert with Mechanical Trigger then it looks like the same gun. If it says anything about Blacktec, Electronic trigger, Anatomic or 'Green Pepper' it is not the same gun.

650 mm light (thinner diameter)
650mm regular
690mm regular (heaviest)

You should specify R or L hand and Walther does have different size grips too.

Your profile does not list your location at all.
Some buyers choose by proximity, some by presence at matches, recommendations or comfort level, in-stock availability, etc.
Walther has an excellent dealer network in the US and there are none that I would steer you away from.
Enough athletes choose the KK500 as their best option that it is hard to keep up with the demand.

For a gal or smaller guy, the lite barrel makes it a touch lighter and if necessary you can always add weight (either in the stock under the bbl or on the rail)
My daughter shot one a few years ago and had both those weights added as well as a Upta tube/tuner on the front.
(My daughter shot an Anschutz 1918 prior to the KK, so she could handle the weight, but still wanted the lite bbl and then added until she felt comfortable)
